Letter to Spacetime Games

[Zylx]

Hello Spacetime,

First off, i'd like to praise you on some of your most brilliant decisions you have made in the past. Arcane Legends was your official flagship success in the gaming industry, acheiving many awards and world-recognition for your developing company. Pocket Legends was your baby, as it developed a loyal fanbase for your company to branch off into your other mmorpgs, making them even more successful.

Your Legends titles have earned you a fantastic community of loyal gamers, mmo enthusiasts, and socialites alike. Many players have gained life-long relationships thanks to you. You had created euphoric escapes from the real world with exciting gameplay, stunning playability, and virtual playgrounds full of fun interactions with incredible hospitality from your friendly staff.

Arcane Legends, as i stated before, is your most exemplary game to date. When this title was released, your graphics amazed a lot of your loyal fans as well as attracted a larger player-base. Everything was new and exciting for several months after its release. After a while, the game grew a little dull, and what did you do? You created the Tarlok winter event to drive things back up again. Your players had so much fun. Players were free to participate as much as they wished, gaining great, top-notch gear. Best of all, it was completely FREE.

Now, for the serious stuff...

Pocket Legends was your original money-maker, your first-born child, and your oldest wine in the cabinet. Players were so enthusiastic about the game, spending hundreds if not thousands supporting your company for the growth of the game for years to come. After three years however, you shrugged them off. You created two other titles as well, attracting other fanbases from sci-fi geeks to blood-loving freaks. All for one game. Yes, Arcane Legends.

I myself am a strong supporter for your company and desire nothing more for your company as well as the community to thrive and become a populous of happy players. You need to wake up! Listen to your players! They know what they want, and most of them want to see something new! Halt the expansions and content for awhile and listen to us!

The purpose behind this message was not to bash your company, but to provide constructive criticism on what seems obvious to your players. If you keep going down this same, straight road, i'm not sure if AL will last another year or two. Please take this into consideration and have your planning department stop and think "let's see what YOU GUYS (the players) want".

What can rly draw people back? And also new players?
Al is just like a old guild with a huge quantity of members and nearly noone online, it needs first a cool event to draw back the old guys then a revision that can draw in new players and keep the old ones active. IMHO.

There are hundreds of suggestions the options are limitless.

Thankfully somebody has to say this. I'm already prepared for their next title and the ones that come after that. It's hard to commit knowing how the cycle seems to make sense.

Yes, it needs something new and exciting like Tarlok was at its time. Like how some of the older players returned to PL for a bit when their mini-cap was released.

That's the sad truth. History tends to repeat itself and with STS frequently throwing around new games like this, it's hard to predict how far one of them will go and whether or not it's worth it to spend the time and money on the game.

[Kakashis]

I'm still on board in AL, but at the same time am waiting for events / updates. The arena was by far the worst update yet!

Tarlok was the most fun community wise when portals weren't nerf'd.

Ursoth's event was awesome in that it gave you dova bears and locked crate crafting even when you don't try for leaderboard.

Overall the game I think is still doing fine for the poorer to middle class. The elite rich will always find it hard to stay interested as they already have everything!

[Chrisaetoshawker]

Still wondering what sts is planning to do...
Another new game? Lol

[Chrisaetoshawker]

I like PL more due to the farm system there but AL has better graphic and it's not old...
AL + PL = PERFECT

[Helicopter]

I want to see toons climb stairs. That's what I want.

[drawfflerz]

Maybe, There were too much gap between plat user and non plat user, rich people and poor people.

This thread isn't meant to insult Spacetime. Just to provide my views on how well they currently run the game. I love STS. But seeing so many good players leave in the last few months, there is definitely something missing.

Hey gang,

We have a ton of stuff in work for you. Soon I will be posting the October Producer's Letter that will detail what's happening. If you haven't read previous updates, check out September at: http://www.spacetimestudios.com/show...mp-Next-Client

The fact of the matter is that everything goes through cycles. Right now the Planar Arena is missing its other half and some great end game farming and action with the Planar Tombs. Also, back to school is typically a slower time for online gaming as many players find the have less disposable free time than they did over the summer. It's ok. That's just part of life. The honest reality is that there are 10's of thousands of new people that come into Arcane Legends daily and thousands and thousands more who come back to play every day. While things may be changing for you, I can say that Arcane Legends has a very healthy following.

I hope that helps.

Hello Sam,

I understand AL is your More Profits = Main game

But that Means Star legends Wont get anything new? We have not seen any Miracle called "New Stuff" from a April 2013.
Sorry if i sounds Rude or something... But its just like i get very emotional and sensitive with SL

Dont you think you should have not left giving attention to other games?

SL, PL, DL are Gold!
AL is Diamond!
If you get a Diamond, dont forget the gold!
Because to hold a Diamond you always need a Base of Gold

And someone has really said it well :

The most precious gift you can give to anyone is your time and Attention.

And Yeah!
One more thing,

Love you!

That qoutation is actually good!

Fact of the matter is, STS divide their manpower/resources/talents/efforts/time to games that is money generating and games that gives "unique" players per day or something like that, just as sam mentions "part of life" to his response they have a clear view of reality and practicality. I believe response to "content development for other game" was posted somewhere here.

What i mean is.. Just Like you all Love AL, I love SL, Some are lovers of PLand some love DL. So everyone feels sad when they are not given attention.. And many less of them ( Like me :3 ) Speak to Mods and Devs about that. Which is kind of annoying but is from Heart.
