Does anyone play this anymore?
Despite what other people say--and I'm sure a lot of it is true--I am really enjoying this game. I like working up to higher levels so that I can tame the more awesome mounts. I love skydiving, which I just recently discovered, lol. I actually created a guild for myself (just cuz) called Skydivers. However, my question is...where did everyone go? Did something big happen that caused almost everyone to leave? It's so empty, kind of defeats the purpose of it being called an MMO.
EDIT: My character's name is Tilirasa and I am on the Baellas server, should anyone like to friend me.

Is the game really that empty? i played this game since it was released (over a year ago or something like that) and i remember that most people stopped playing because of a couple of reasons that i could list, but the main reason was because the Devs started giving away free Heroic and legendary items making the game pointless in regards of it's true purpose, my entire guild at that time (had 3 guilds with the same name) all stopped playing after a while, happened the same with me, i loved the game, but the moment they started giving things away for free, no hard work on getting mounts anymore and people flooding to tame heroics/legendaries i stopped playing.

Dunno who it is now, i wanted to try again to see how it's going but seems like the game is going downhill since them, no point in playing a empty MMO.

The game was such a pain in the ass, plagued with bugs and connection issues. I struggled with the game as long as possible, got two accounts banned on the Nexon forum for highlighting problems to putting staff dow for trying to get players to do documentation(wiki). The game was a money grab but has lost the majority of it's player base.

I found a cheesy little game for free Fallout Shelter and have not logged back in since, writs that witll never get used, pets that matured that will never see combat or the outside of the farm. The worse grief and frustration I got now is a few feral ghouls or deathclaw attacks, haven't been anywhere near as angry in life and have a game now in which success for hard work not failure is the normal.....................

I stopped playing and went over to the private version. Nexon's version makes you pay for EVERYTHING when in fact some of the mounts that are in the Korean version are actually Legendaries, like the Grim Kargoyle for example. And the dragon that you win from Manastone in Stygea is a mount that you can tame, and not lose in a week.

Hell, I managed to tame every mount in Ellora's Sanctuary in the private server and got a friggin Ancient Tagris as a collector's reward. You do not get that in Nexon's version. Mecha Karasha is a mount you can tame and not a skin! I'd say some of Nexon's stuff is a total ripoff if you ask me.

Dude... Its an MMO game. You can do so much things in this game, like every MMO... But.. Its not a solo game, its teamgame, in the lategame you cant do actually anything in solo playing. Find a guild, group up, and have fun. You can grind for your final stuff for a year, then you can grind for another one for pvp, and you can grind money always for better stuff, mounts and others. Its an MMO game, its a fkin MMO, you have to GRIND every fkin day for fkin EVERYTHING what you wanna get. You need to work for it, you cant get it by another way, you have to work for that stuff. Its the same in every other MMO games, if you dont know what you can do, or you just boring, dont play this category, MMO games is not your games if its dont make you fun...
sorry for rip english, but i hope you understand what i mean..

Problem with this MMO is the lack of players, now everything is Empty, 1 year ago it was flooding with players everywhere, to the point of having so many players that the server needed to enter maintenance just to add more channels.

This game had potential but the devs wasted it, no point in playing an empty game.

I do agree that it is a money grab, but really, what isn't nowadays? You should just automatically assume that any free or online game is going to try to squeeze some money out of you. The one major flaw I've found so far is that no one really plays it and the quests get sort of repeatable. First the werewolves took over a farm...then the Rabbini...now vampires...right? Lol.

Games need to go back to the beginning. Free to Play, Open Beta and Early Access are choke holding this industry. Every game should be more or less completed when they launch, and no game should be able to take anyones money before launching. Every game should go back to a subscription fee per month, and it can be as low as they want it to be, 99 cents even. Then everyone is in the game, players, on same playing field. Absolutely everything needs to be earned in game, with skins or add ons for dirt cheap in the shops. Part of the problem here is that it's Free to Play but a costume is ten dollars, and in Riders it's cheaper than most games in that regard. If you price the copy paste item for say ninety nine cents you will sell a boat load more, cause everyone wants them but everyone considers twenty dollars. NO one considers 99 cents. THE work is done, the design is completed, it is pure copy and paste with no over head to worry about, no shipping etc. These businesses need to think along the lines of 'Priced to Move' Another quick note is they need to have customer service as top priority, NO player should ever be banned without first the investigation or inquiry, instead cause they value their game and it is a priviledge to us the players to be able to play, in which they remind us all the time, we get banned before the investigation and it's mopped up after and a disaster. Customers need contact information, rights and priveledges for being part of, and should always be valued. If you can take it a step further and make a game that eliminates the overused word, grind, you might have a winner like WoW was not too long ago.

at this point, i have little hope for this industry and fear they will never 'get it'

Me and my friends stopped playing after hackers and money hungery pay2win system. Probably people chose to pay subscription to much better and not pay2win games. I would return, if they remove such mechanics and make it 1 time pay instead of f2p.
I am new to this game as well. And want to meet people in the game but notice it's empty. You can add me @ Riivenge if you like.
