Will the time based vanities still get distributed? For example the 3 year shields and such
Reminder, please keep it level. I get that you are upset. This was not an easy decision for us either.
Exactly
It's sad to hear this news. You get credit for making the announcement (as unpopular as it is) rather than just letting it limp along by avoiding the issue.
When the development on PL ramped down, I searched around for another game that I could enjoy in its place. I didn't find anything that captured the same fun though. The pace, complexity, and general gameplay of PL is uniquely engaging. It finds a great balance between depth of content and "casual breeziness" that I haven't found elsewhere. You can have a lot of fun playing it without having to invest your whole life just to keep up (but you can invest as much time as you want when you feel like binging). Add to that the multi-platform support and single, unified world (i.e. no segmentation into distinct servers) and you really have something good.
It's a shame that you don't want to keep developing on it, because you have a great foundation to build on and a good "tone" of content that makes it a fun place to explore. That makes it a double-edged sword, though, because it really hurts when something good gets yanked away before its time. I'm with Sue on not wanting to go down this road with you again based on this experience, which really is too bad. But I don't regret the fun I've had along the way.
I've been playing SL for 3 years and is by far my favorite STS game, and just reading through this thread is depressing.
I think investing in one game only is a drastic thing mostly towards a game most dont even agree with.
They are probably going to lose revenue for awhile, but when they get 100% focussed on one game it will greatly improve that game.
Imagine how great PL would be today if they had sorry improved it versus making 3 more imitations.
The Legends games take a lot of development for new content unlike MOBA and COC type games. Where a few graphics and stats can bring in far more revenue than it cost.
Thanks Fusionstrike. I really appreciate it. You have been around for a long time too. FYI, it is not unusual for MMOs to go away. We're not even sunsetting ours, we're just being honest about no new content. MMOs go away. It is part of their lifecycle. Here are a few: http://www.mmofront.com/mmo/discontinued/
This does not mean that we WANT to stop developing on ours, but it is what it is.
Thank you guys for a great game, I'm sure to now leave Pocket Legends for good (all my friends gone anyways) and FINALLY move onto something better. I'm sure to check out the new MOBA just because I love this company and community, but I can't say that I'll stick around. While PL being basically shutdown minus the server, I feel that this honestly gives a big amount of people the oppurtunity to get off their butts and do something irl Can't wait for the teasers.
One thing I do have to ask, however. Is the MOBA going to be based off of Arcane Legends? Or is it something completely different than any Legends game theme you've ever had?
I have to say, I do appreciate that STG is honest about this and that I am thankful I decided to make the jump to AL when I did. I just want to tell PL veterans...give AL a shot...level to end-game. Try the new tombs content. There are very good revenue methods in place to farm the gear that you need and maybe pick up an arcane or two along the way!
