Why we didn't make a new expansion for Pocket Legends in 2013

[pizzaman]

It's seems like this was a business decision and that abandoning their first "child" was not a joyful decision for the developers. Still, I hope that as you are watching financial spreadsheets and graphs, you also factor in consumer confidence as an important factor for a long-term healthy company. I, for one, never got into AL because i'm like "how long until they bring out a new legends game and drop AL just as hard as they dropped the other mmo's?". With PL i know what i'm getting is already pretty good and has lots of levels, so i still love PL most.

What actually beneficial? Merge all of ur similar game and make one master game like AL? or keep developing new game? - which dont have guarantee of success like AL. As player I dont change game I just change game company if I annoyed too much by new games and company not focusing their good game.

How is it ironic?

The crown of persistence was released as an item that showed you had the persistence to make it to the next level of the Balefort sewers 56 cap, but that cap was only a few months long and required less xp. This cap has made us persist through hellish PvP, hellish PvE (literally and figuratively, 1 year of no major updates, and all the crap from hackers and scammers.

IMO, there was a relatively low amount of persistence in most areas (not levels) of the game back then compared to what we have to persist right now.

This provides short term happiness without solving the problem at hand that basically is that PL will eventually be dropped all together because of business directions being taken by STG. The company will never know for sure whether they made the right decision or not till its too late and this is the time for them to listen to intellectual contributions and make and educated decision, and hopefully not a greedy one. I feel the decision to focus on their already established games will boost their company more than they think. STS is afraid because they "tried" to give a major update to PL with rhino and fox release and they didnt get the results they wanted because they were competing with their own game(ArcaneLegends). And now they are taking that lesson and refusing to take the risk again, without understanding the problem wasnt the update it was the side by side releases of their games that caused a lack of a bounce back. They need to make the difficult call and try again, or play it safe and settle for short term success again and again. Its a learning curve for them. Let them learn, and hope they do.

Ok, so let me sum up this whole thread up for you.

Make a update that'll keep us busy. That's all that everyone's asking for.

:P busy with arcane new cap probably

Also by Pl 2 I mean continue from where they left off with the new technology. I mean if the features are a problem and bring more money just improve features and make PL 2

gone to al again. sorry for the joke.

this is what happens always even at the time 'great nerf 2013' they claimed wait play as mich as pvp then tell us what's wrong, then boom everyone (stg) left da matter, if they tried and atleast fix pvp, there wouldn't be enormous threads on pvp balance neither they had to clarify again nor this thread would exists)

thousands player base (including old and addicted players) atleast deserve relatively balanced pvp (for the reason they are still here even after playing years)

Sounds like ol' Sam is training the new guy. I can only assume he got promoted to something like Grand High Exalted Lord of the United Realms of Admin and Community (long may he reign).

Okay whether you or anyone else agrees or disagrees with my comment earlier I wanted it to be considered at least. Was worried I posted too late before all the filler posts form others drove you away. Post your response when you can just good to know you're still listening.
