Is this game coming back to life?
I only quit the game originally because of how many bots there were and the lack of players. Is this game actually coming back again?

It is still full of bots. Every cube and adventure island you will see them everywhere.
Yesterday + day before did chaos rift there was not one legit player beside me.

Wouldn't be surprised if half of the online players are bots

Just because it moves and has name over it's head — does not mean it is a legit player my friend.

Bots have become a lot more advanced these days and are able to do most content in the game.

Then there is also real humans from poor countries who are farming, because it is easier and pays more than a regular job.

You're welcome. :steamthumbsup:
No, a wave of 20k new bots joined, nothing really interesting going on

Not misinformed ,30+ bots running on screen with same gear are not real people.
Also congrats on sunking almost 5k hours into this fomo gamba machine slot game.

(Still it makes me laugh that in dungeon one mistake of other player and bye bye no matter what gear,how many hours,what skill or knowledge of mechanics you have XDD)
It lived maybe for a couple of months, then it had like a peak of 80% bots and only 20% real players and this never really changed much. Nobody can tell the real number but nobody really cares. Its one of the worst and most predatory mmos out there.

Still the best pve boss simulator. Wait for ark passives t3 and express event combo. Unfortunately the top whales + rmters along with rice farmers and botters greatly hinder the Auction shop and crystal prices! along with bringing one of the worst toxic experience in any online pve game ever!

If by "coming back to life" you mean "infested by tens of thousands of bots", then yes.

i wouldn't say it's coming back to life, it's the same. some bots, some players, mostly tryhards and a greater divide as long time players keep at it, and new or returning players fall further behind or get power passed deeper into the game and skipping more content that became obsolete even though it was good fun stuff.

Best top down combat in any game, some of the most brainwashed and toxic self absorbed playerbase. a bunch of bots from poor people trying to make money off the game, with a dash of normal people that are hit or miss nice.

Despite all the negatives, i'm gonna end up reinstalling and playing things in solo mode cause there's nothing else out there to play like it.
The dude in charge of AI'in bot numbers left. So now it's bot rampancy 10x

Yet when everyone says they have bots running around there is no proof, I'm not saying bots are gone but saying 90% of the population are bots is misinformation, I'd estimate there's less than 5k bots at this point and that's being generous.

I'd make a counter argument I haven't been doing many dailies and only run a few raids per week instead of the full amount, this mmo has been pretty chill and relaxed and I'm sitting on almost 2 million gold with nothing to spend it on.

I've played other mmos with cash shops, this doesn't feel predatory to me but ymmv.

There's no need to counter argument those people. Most of them had skill issues and left the game years ago...but still can't accept it.
Also they hadn't play a MMO never and judge playtime, ignoring the fact that most of the days the MMO game stays open for 10+ hours, but real playtime is 30 minutes.

I had run for the past year 9-12 raids per week...did only 1 week with full 18 gold raids and yes...no real needs of gold...just waiting for Brel release
