According to forums, this game is “slowly but surely” dying since 2016Originally Posted by Razererxx
As long as the main plat spenders (and there are a lot) dont leave the game the game wont die.
And the main plat spenders probably wont quit this game easily because why would you leave a game where you invested thousands of dollars?
Something to consider
If you love the game and want them to advertise then pitch in, nothing is free. Advertising cost a lot but with the help of players it can be possible and bring new players like 2013-2014 all over again
That's true but let's get more people into the game be it plat spenders or f2p players.
More is better in this case I'm sure
We just want a more active base in the long run and would like if the developers allocate some resources in this regard.
If there are no new players coming into the game, or they come at a very low rate. And there are also people leaving the game, by either quitting for good, or quitting for a time period. Eventually the 2 lines will align and there will be a really small player pool. And those heavy plat spenders themselves will quit, since if there's no one to play with/ interact with, they won't have any purpose anymore. If the new players entering and staying exceeds the players that are quitting/leaving, the game would atleast have a stable or even rising player pool. And by that there will be more players buying plat, which would in turn generate more revenue.
AL is hard/not appealing for new players who want instant gratification. AL is a long grinding game so the "candy crush" crowd will not be particularly attracted to this kind of game.
its also a mature game in its product cycle so...
Yeah but you will be left with few k people and thats it. So we should simply let it be like this only because there is sustainable amount of cash flowing to company? This is freaking company and this is bussines, you can either get small pieces of money like this or axtually try something and get more money. How long will this be sustainable? 5 years? 10 years? And what happens when it crashes? When plat spenders get tired of game and there is no money? What happens then?
Isn't there a way to create more plat buyers instead of letting the present play buyers get bored and leave to wait for the impending death?
I say not and do something to make more new players .there myt be lot of spenders who still aren't in the game..
This game really is a ticking time bomb. Sad.
Well thats what i am saying, advertising+guides. Easy money.Isn't there a way to create more plat buyers instead of letting the present play buyers get bored and leave to wait for the impending death?

[QUOTE=Razererxx;3410453........................ Game is .... ...... ...... dying[/QUOTE]
Just about 8 years I have played, and many times I’ve see the above comment. Players come and go, sometimes a lot, sometimes not so much. Don’t mean the game is dying.
To the OP:
Brilliant ideas

Okay, lets go with assumption game isnt dying. Is it then living its full potential? Is it popular and known in gaming community? Are mechanics, guides well written and made good?
How should I know? I just play and not worry. AL isn’t my life, zero worries.

+1 for the suggestions from the op to imcrease activity aslong as they cant get abused
-1 for the white-knights who try to "save the game"
I think you forget one part tho, its a mobile game in the end. You cant compare it with calibers like Destiny or Warframe or WoW. Also, with the PS5 release, many many people are only focusing on these new gaming platforms.
I can only talk for myself but when the PS5 launches on 19th Nov in my country I will prob not play AL for another 2-3 months even tho I like the game.
Maybe that was a bit off-topic but I think we can anticipate a lower player count the next few months, could be wrong tho
we need Arcane Legends for Playstation/Xbox/Nintendo.
The intentions are good, but dont start doing “monthly subscriptions” or premium doodliedoos.
This will only make AL look like another one of those cashgrab clones, we DONT need this
For the rest i really like the ideas, but i think a simpler approach (which i have thoroughly explained and worked out in a similar post like this a while back, would be a forced community/dev made player guide to help the player thru the base steps of the game, and even beyond this point.
New systems for pvp have been implemented, a new vanity item that has successfully sold out multiple times in 2 events alone costing 1750 platinum ($100) each, expansion on the horizon, huge forum contests (Tour of Arlor II), and many other great updates that have honestly livened up AL recently. Sts is clearly trying to make AL a more fun gaming experience for the entire community one update at a time, that isn’t what I would call a dying game.
Perhaps take a break, maybe you’ll find the fun again when you return and won’t find the need to act like a clown on the forums.
Good ideas. Especially the calls to arm. I like to help those who are entirely new to gaming. But I don’t wait around for a player yell help in a town.
nice thread or idea there!
if i can add more,
devs need to do something in game that will make players spends their gold to make less gold flooding in game, cause everything going so high and higher in prices now.
maybe most rich players dont care about it or we just think "no problem with that we can do farming much gold these days"
but how about the new comers? im sure they will face a thing -"its so hard to catch up with this game"
not asking a game to become everything easy and free. but to make it more reasonable afrodable to all players,so more new players can come, stay and keep playing.
i give some example:
- some new player come to this game,playing and try to be in game content like others,and so this player need to upgrading his hero gear,see need weapon to go but it cost 50-100mil it just too much because gold inflation economy. if that weapon cost around 2m-10m maybe this become reasonable to go play more to get it.
so much gold keep getting looted in the game but there is not much things can make gold dissapear from the game economy.
*just some idea to make gold going normal is add something consumable things in game that cost gold but not breaking the game balance. so it just costumize things,
my idea example:
- add super cool vanity or aura at sirspendalot where we have to spend much for that but that items have time durabilty.100m vanity or aura but can be expired after 100days purchased days maybe?
- or special emoticon just like 'can do siting or dancing in town' for 25m for a limited time maybe 30days.
- limited duration time of pet skins vanity for 1m/day
#just some idea,thankyou
