And I spend more than 1000 euro...
Sam, thanks so much for the post, as a former business owner I understand the decisions that need to be made to keep the business alive. Just to let you know I love playing PL. I did try AL today, found it a little busy, did like the whirling knives-thingy weapon, and the pets. But, there's just something about PL that is more fun. I hope in these 15 pages of comments you find some good ideas.
I guess most of us here just do not want Pocket Legends to die out to a newer game. Because Pocket Legends was the birth game of STS where all of us began. And also because some of us spent quite a lot of money on this game. But, from Sam's point of view, I kinda agree because if you had two choices to make
1) Trying to revive a game where many people are going to another game = making less money ( PL )
OR
2) Work on a game that has more people coming into = making more money ( AL )
I'm sure you would choose the one that makes more profit for you, am I right? But hey, I'm sure some of you might disagree with me because you might be talking crap and the fact that I'm only 16, lol. Maybe when they have the time, they'll eventually work on PL again. Like what Sam said, it was their birth game and I'm pretty sure the Devs will never ever let any game die because each one is their hardwork. It's just that some had more attention than others. That's bout' it I guess, don't hate mehhh, just trying to point out my view :c
Thanks! :)

Not true. Do you think PL had a really bad income at one point, so STS was forced to make a new game? Of course not, SL was released when PLs income was at its best.
If they wouldn't go with the "make a new game and abandon all others" technique they'd be forced to update PL regularly.
Besides, I still think that PL has enough income to cover for its server cost if not more.
exactly. it's not a question of not making money or not making money. It's whether STG has decided they can make MORE money updating AL over PL, which would still make them money if they updated. So the decision is to chase MORE profits over addressing the loyal customers in PL. While in money terms, it might make sense, but in terms of customer satisfaction, it's a dangerous strategy. Once those PL players are turned off STG for good, they wont come back, and once other newer players see how the company abandons games when they think they can make a little more profit in another newer game (i.e. Battle Dragons), they will be wary about committing more funds to support the company. Once you lost the confidence of your customers, it brings about bad bad results.
I think they didnt abandon PL. I dont play PL, but from what I say they couldnt revive it even with 2 brand new classes came. AL only has 3 classes all the time, not even new skills or upgrades added, and we "basically" can only use 4 skills with 5 upgrades each.
Sam is working (or was) in public relations, which is another word for propaganda (I'm not making this up). Edward Bernays (Sigmund Freud's nephew) coined the term "public relations" in the 20s after WW1, for it to sound less mean than the word "propaganda", because people associated this term with war and therefore bad things in general. Bernays also defined Capitalism as it is today.
Their main job is to manipulate people and nothing they say can be trusted. Guess why they never release real numbers (like the PLs income over time). Make them post that, then we can talk.
Okay then, we are now talking about something else, I am only saying what Sam said. I am not saying this could of been his only choice, I agree with you, the company's can lie and trick their way around, would they rather be tiny and stay with pl? Maybe they could get a little bigger with pl but not as much as compared to what they're doing/or going to do now.
But then again, you yourself have no proof on what they are doing so you can only point out theories.
I think we can all agree on that. STS would never be where it is today, if it wouldn't make other games.
All we are asking for is not to forget about us, since we deserve their attention and at least some kind of expansion, to say the least. Customer disloyalty might stab them in their back someday.
Why we didn't make a new expansion for Pocket Legends in 2014
So...
Are thy working in a pvp update or anything?
Probably not but we can be hopeful for 1 good update for the next year! :P Idk I'll be happy to come back if something new is implemented and many more will too :).
Just want a new cap lvl to 81.. With a new item to make my bird a 2piece at least... Doesn't have to be big anymore... Al is where it's at
