    For me it was "make or break". So I wish best luck to all who is staying.
    I had no trouble speed-running (by which I just mean killing and exploring as quickly as possible, not necessarily chest- or mob-skipping) even with a 'stay on top' player streaming videos over the whole bottom-left corner of my screen the whole time. Audiobooks, emails, studying off textbooks in my lap... Amazing what a MMO mouse and mind-numbing simplicity can do in that regard.

    That said, I'll probably be staying, at least on and off as before, if only because I feel the medium, much like the dropped-like-a-flaming-turd Diadem base concept, has a lot of potential. It just hasn't been tapped yet. We have literally auto-generated rehashed rooms and a selection of the same dull mobs people complain about in dungeons and the open world. And an upgrade system that leads to later party conflicts. That's it. What it could have... that's a massive list.

    Afterthought: For those stating that this is merely an issue in the current floor count, and that we'll see enjoyable difficulty and complexity by the time, say, floor 110 comes out... Do you really want to be slogging through 50+ floors of barebone content just to get to something enjoyable? Why not focus on the underlying concepts and generators such that future improvements can affect all the floors?
