Is it still in development, I'm guessing so because MrBenjammin seems active and on the review page I'm seeing people with over a thousand hours on. I will be checking steam charts frequently waiting for some players though, because I don't understand what I'm doing as it stands.

I find this strange as a answer, the game is based on "warring nations" "PvP centric" so to not have that element would be contradictory in of itself. Also 6-7 player's doesn't warrant a "nation" or anything even remotely close.

Truth is while the game maybe not fully dead it averages between 0-5 players, I know cause I check on it fairly often (as of late at least once a day) in hopes that it may one day have a population however it doesn't.

Yes the dev works on it still yet the sad thing is a lot of people and servers left so it's in limbo atm.

Logged in, 2 people on... 2 servers. The "NA" server is always at 0. Hosted this game a while back it never gained players it literally lost them.

I think at one point there were 4-5 servers now there is just one community and 1 private.

If you can't read the writing on the wall nobody can help you.

The game is still getting updates. That is one of the odd things about it.

We have like 10 - 20 people that play this game. Mostly 3 - 5 are on at anytime. I try to help new players to have an enjoyable experience if I am on when they join. We get some russians joining alot so sometimes its hard with the communication. I do not understand why this game doesnt have more of a player base. This game is fun. If you like minecraft you will enjoy this game.There is enough content for a single person to enjoy for say maybe 20 hours of gameplay to experience it all. This is not including interactions with real players if that happens. I'd say it is definently worth its price. If you want add me on steam I am happy to join up to play. I've recently started staging ship battles. We just print 2 ships exactly the same and fight it out. Ben also added some boss fights which are fun to do. I think with some more future updates the game could be enjoyable even solo.

Its not like Ben is really looking for players at this time.

Right now he wants to put more features on the game and have at least a small playerbase to test and find bugs. Once he deems the game has a nice enough longetivity will he put more effort in attracting players

Oh, im glad to know that the developer is not really interested in more customers....! /irony off

...you couldnt be more wrong, mate! Well, youre right that Ben keeps working on the game (great guy) but also nobody really knows why SN cant build a larger community! Yes, that also includes Ben. And sorry to burst your bubble, but thats pretty much a death sentence for an online game like SN. (Personally I blame the visuals...

The problem is the game launched too early.. it needs another promotional boost of some kind now. Because i left the game a long time ago just because it wasnt developed enough and now i see it got a ton of awesome features that i wanted back then. Just sad that the population decreased which is to be expected i guess. Just really hope the developer can bring more attention to this game. I think one of the main issues is that the game looks like minecraft, and many people are tired of that kind of look. So they don't give the game a chance.
