I didn't play it much but a lot of the currently passively gains skins and mounts and such were heavily monetized in a rotating cash shop iirc. Which is essentially a form of FOMO seeing as you wouldn't know when something was going to rotate back in again.
I cant recall if there were Pay to Win elements in the shop or not. The over all consensus was that the cash shop was NOT liked.

That and from my ROUGH understanding, the MMO format was pretty abysmal for the open world zones considering how rather compact they are. I know I was constantly irritated with trying to kill things just for them to be sniped by someone else. While this is still something you can run into in big name MMOs like WoW and FFXIV, its far less often as the zones are so massive, its easy to just move locations a bit to avoid overlap.

I'm sure there was more to it, those are just the only bits I remember, as I didn't play for long back then.

Yep steady increase in concurrent, also looks like most playing keep playing. Word of mouth doing a lot.

This isn't including PS5 and hopefully Xbox end of month or Xbox game pass

Plus lots of supporter pack purchases. I hope we get to point of another DLC map

It wasn't. Just bugs and lack of optimization that got better gradually over time.

Server issues, bugs, poor performance and just too many MTX that was really it. Just standard F2P MMO launch stuff really.

Yeah , glad that games had been recognized! I would love this game to success and so, have more content in the future

[Furyion]

this game is far better than kr games currently .

[MtnBichael]

Sadly the player count is back down to 300.

[Tritol]

Well its a singleplayer one and done game now, no sane person will spend thousand hours unlocking everything in a dead game.

I hope they add some more stuff, if they keep working on this, it could always lead to new waves every now and then.

It's fine, still playable. We had a large decrease in players during the release of nightmare because people waited for nightmare and stopped playing to wait for 'exclusive rewards' but once they found out their saves didn't transfer they just never came back. I was also one of those players. I love the game but had no interest in starting nightmare from scratch. Too many hours spent grinding on my heroic save.

Not that it matters, single-player game and plenty online to play co-op with. Hopefully the xbox release gives some extra juice.

As an example I'm also playing Final Fantasy V Pixel released three years ago to nearly 4,000 players on launch but also teetering in the 100s daily until now.

Players buy the game and take 20-100 hours to complete, as expected of a single-player experience.
