A Warning for those looking to buy

[Red Luck]

Just to let people know, this game seems like a scam due to the fact there is another game with the exact same screenshots and name that came out in 2018: https://store.steampowered.com/app/700030/Life_is_Feudal_MMO/

That game that released in 2018 was also a scam since It says it is F2P but only for 7 days needing a monthly sub on its official launcher only among other things.

Fair Warning is all, I don't know if this is different in any way, maybe it's an update, maybe its a entirely new game and just happens to have the exact same screenshots but I doubt it personally.

What is the point of this thread.
The news page and store page literally tells you the differences and what this is.

Are gamers on Steam actually illiterate now?

Reading the store page: there is only 2 things that you can INFER that it's different but nothing concrete.
1: In the description they say its built off the foundation but says nothing about what's actually new if any.
2: Info about the game shows "New Lands" which you can assume would be the only new thing about the game which is not much if it's that alone and I would still consider a scam.

Reading the news, there is nothing about it's differences, that part is a lie.

It sucked when it first released. It's going to continue to suck. No clue why anybody would ever think differently. How many times does a game need to fail to understand that there isn't an audience or people who care enough to support/keep something like this alive?

Sunken cost fallacy, I guess. Game is a dud. Call it and kill it.

To fully address all of the concerns, let's start by going over the timeline of events that took place up until now! Life is Feudal: MMO was initially released in 2018 by Bitbox Ltd., and in 2023, Long Tale Games (LTG) took over the development and management of the game. From that point on, all updates and changes have been made by LTG, and Arden represents the next chapter in the Life is Feudal universe, building upon what has come before while introducing new features and experiences.

Life is Feudal: MMO is indeed subscription-based, and we want to ensure transparency with all players. As noted on the Steam page, new players are eligible for a 7-day trial period, giving them a chance to explore the game. And, if they choose to continue playing beyond that trial, a subscription is required to access all the game's features and content.

It's important to note that Life is Feudal: MMO and Life is Feudal: Arden are two separate, standalone games. The similarities in screenshots and thematic elements arise from Arden drawing inspiration from its predecessor, which may explain why certain visual and gameplay aspects appear similar. Life is Feudal: Arden delivers a free-to-play experience set in a vast and evolving medieval world. With a new map, updated gameplay mechanics, and new opportunities for exploration, Arden invites players to craft their own stories.

I've never played a single one and never will.
I'm simply stating the info OP is talking about is *literally* listed.
Go talk about coping or whatever to somebody who gives a damn. Actually read the context of a message next time fool.

Any plans to add the subscription to steam? For example, I have seen other games such as EA games with a monthly subscription option for them on the steam page itself.

As someone with 1000s of hours in the MMO before it was abandoned I can tell you the new "devs" have done nothing but buy the rights to the game, relaunch the servers, and make minor tweaks to things that never really mattered. There has been no massive content updates, no significant improvements, and no sign that the devs actually cared about improving the game. The MMO also was NOT a subscription required game prior to these devs buying it, there was a premium service offered but not required to play beyond your original purchase.

This game looks like the exact same game.

So I'd challenge the devs since they seem to respond to these threads. Please list the major differences between this LIF and the previous MMO that justifies you calling this a new game.

The devs likely will not respond to this. I also played the MMO when it wasn't on steam as a standalone for a long time until it's unfortunate end, but seeing these guys take over and only have one new map to show for 2 years of development after the "Foundation" was already laid out for them. There's been near to no marketing because I sure as hell haven't seen anything about this version of the game. It just feels like a cash grab to bait the loyal veterans and the ignorant new players to spend money before they bin the shell all together.
Please prove me wrong devs, I really do not want to be right, but I have never heard of you in my life, your company appears to be from Malaysia according to linkedin and is relatively new only opening in 2023, with around 10 employees being from Russia at best, which means the likelihood of you having any of the original developers to be very very small.

they even selling all those old skins again. no new ones

Nice research! If they are from russia then it is probably the same people behind it again, just using proxies for another round of cash grab. Because it is literally 1:1 the same garbage code compared to 2015/16 release, the same "no response to anything dev behaviour", the same cashshop updates and the same ingame problems.

The premium subscription in Arden is optional and available alongside other items in the in-game shop. It works as a “consumable,” allowing you to activate it whenever you choose through your inventory, rather than it starting immediately upon purchase.

So, a live service, meaning as soon as it doesn't make a dime, it'll go offline.

Thanks, but no thanks.

thanks for the heads up!
