The game is still in active development - an new expansion is currently in the works.

Yes, this game is far from dead, lots of person on US servers, pretty much on EU also, very nice community and discord

Take a good look at the Steam Charts page for this game. Pretty much self-explanatory.

It really doesn't matter if the game is "still in active development" or not. It only matters that people persistently kept tossing it into the garbage bin for at least TEN YEARS straight.
Keep in mind, the Steam Charts statistics only cover the presence of this game on Steam (since April 2014) under the name "Villagers and Heroes". Before that, the game was already a failure on Facebook, under the name "A Mystical Land".

Only a tiny proportion of players play the game using Steam. The game is on Android, IOS and directly on PC. Nowadays I believe there are more players playing on mobile than PC, and Steam was only ever a small part of the playerbase even before the game went mobile (other than in the immediate aftermath of the Steam release).

Perhaps one indicator might be that the largest of the 5 servers is US3, which was only opened when the game released on Android.

The game did indeed launch in 2011, as a browser game called a mystical land. It had already moved to a stand alone client on PC under the name Villagers and Heroes by late 2013 and launched on Steam in April 2014. The Android launch was, I think in 2017, with iOS the following year.

Ask yourselves this - are game developers really going to keep paying to maintain 5 servers on a game which has been a "failure" for more than ten years?

Other Steam users have already commented, but in case you need some sort of official answer, here we go: Yes, our game is still updated regularly! :)

We have indeed neglected updating our Steam presence for the last few years, but we are indeed trying to change that now. I have already uploaded th patch notes for our latest expansion "The Crux Part 1" and we'll update the news regularly and also keep an eye on this forum again.

There are always updates, but the news about them can usually only be read on the official sites and in the official forum.
