Another "they quit" thread

[Namasu]

I'd like to think that despite the number of "I quit" threads, the game may still be thriving. People tend to notice when friends and associates of FC and LS leave, you don't pay attention to the number of new players coming in. People are going by the number of their circle leaving. It sad to see buddies leave, but in the long run, no one wants to pay to play something they aren't having fun with anymore. Thems the brakes.

One current player quitting is much more detrimental to the game as a whole than one new player joining. Most of the ones who've been here for a couple months into their sub have already solidify their place in FC and LS. So once they announce that they will quit, it will more than likely send the same signal to others in the same boat to jump ship.

Also beating the dead horse, there is obviously an odd flux in the number of active subscriber that is deemed unsafe for public disclosure. It is sad that Yoshi and SE are not confident enough in their number regardless if they plan to hold out until PS4 and Chinese release to inflate the population. Whatever happened to being a humble niche MMORPG that try to be content with their target goal of 400k~ subscribers?

I think alot of folks got burned out, especially from the 1.0 crowd. Alot of them came over with all the bells and whistles already. It's no surprise that some of them are leaving for whatever reason. Most likely because things aren't how they expected the game to be or they ran out of things they want to do, or that the game is lacking in one form or another which is usually what the case is.

That coupled with the fact that alot of new games lose players in the very beginning still doesn't spell death for the game. One new player coming along might just be the next person to join yours or my free company or LS. Don't count out the new people just because they are new. Both old players and new players have the option to quit at any time.

The problem is, people see friends leaving and decide it's not worth sticking around to make new friends out of the people who are coming up. Everyone leaves at some point. New and old.

One new player, could easily become a vetern down the line. I think both the new and old are just as important. They are both paying cash.

Sure some veterns might be more tempted to stay, but as I mentioned, some of these veterens have already been there and done that and feel its time to move on.
