Producer's Letter: End of MotMG, Clarifications and Updates

[Niegil]

Or everyone could stop making DECA out to be some sort of money-grubbing cartoon villain.

Maybe Deca should do things that let us not think that

[ThatsMyJam]

The first time I read this letter I was satisfied.

The second time I read this letter I regretted investing the amount of time and money that I have into this game.

[BaraBlazer]

What do you have in mind?

[TROLLDLLR]

@Mynamerr and @Niegil are frustrated with DECA in some capacity, and they’re the ones who’ve stayed on the game the longest…

Does that mean anything? nah, ofc it doesn’t

They even flat out said that they’re going to continue with the relentless chest events because it makes them money, even though quite a lot of people are pretty fed up.

Where did they say that? All I see is the paragraph where they agree that the chest events are getting boring and repetitive and that they do notice that the nexus popping and sitting around is taking away from the game.

Not saying you’re lying or anything I’m just interested

[Adolfia]

The more interesting discussion actually comes from the feedback that players are fed up with Chest Events or don’t like them to begin with. We understand and acknowledge that while also seeing our daily active user numbers increase significantly. This leads us to believe that the majority of players welcome the fact that they have a shot at getting more loot.

They’re saying the feedback is less important than the results. Sure, chest events may bring in more people, but alienating your more dedicated fanbase that takes the time to talk about the game and browse their reddit and the forums isn’t good either.

They saw Kabam when it was actually good, and think they’re going to fall into the same ‘We want your money without effort’ trap, even though afaik DECA’s well past the amount of time Kabam actually gave a shit at this point

Or else samurai was so boring even DECA forgot about it

[Nahtanamar]

I would argue that they’re not really alienating the people on forums and reddit as much as you’d think. Also, people who are upset will complain, but people who are happy won’t really say anything. So I understand your frustration, but I think DECA is basically saying- we recognize that some in the community are frustrated by these events, but it seems like the vast majority of the players enjoys them, and they’re not really seeing evidence to contradict that.

I’m not totally on their side, I do think that the events were too much, but I’m just showing more of their perspective.

[SaknisJr]

are there gonna be any September events?

[JimdaFish]

They haven’t announced anything yet.

I hope not, though…

[Panytnaa]

I would quit at that point.

[TROLLDLLR]

eh, I already have so it doesn’t really matter

like really what is there to do

[PLEBJESUS]

Why? I want more events

[Moobattle]

Since I suck and will never get an 8/8 character, I’ll never get burnt out of RotMG

[MetaphorMe]

Even the “Event White 2x Drop Event” did not have as much reach as we hoped for it in terms of player activity. Help us change that.

Easy: don’t have a chest event running at the same time.

it is important to understand that opening dungeons on most crowded Nexus servers (e.g. USW2) and going in with 50+ other players definitely exacerbates the issue. We are not blaming it on you, you do what the game allows and should not be held responsible for doing so. However, simple steps can help while we find solutions: move into empty realms or transfer to the Nexus server with the lowest population when popping keys.

Easy solution: lower the player limit on dungeons. And don’t raise it for events.
