is this game near the end of it's life?

[DPZ2]

So much for the "japanese like to stick to the same formula".

I read something like 20 "quotes" in that Reddit post, and no indication was given that it wasn't the same 5-10 people being quoted multiple times.

Personally, I haven't pursued the 2.0 relic quest past the Atma phase -- the gear from 3.0 ABSOLUTELY out-did any gear I could get from completing the entire Relic quest, as I didn't get to level 50 until some time after 3.0 was released. So, no grind-grind-grind for me.

By the time I get to the current 3.0 relic quest, I may go as far as the first step, but won't beat myself up about it. I've been in this game for about a year now. I also admit that I play other MMOs when I feel the need for a change.

This game is not a Way of Life, for me anyway. It is entertainment. When it starts becoming a second career, I'll look for something else to do.
