I am not here to bad mouth this game or its developing team. I am here however to shed a little light onto a subject that doesn't seem to be getting attention.

Communication

Let us all be straight shooters on this... Trying to figure out what the Dev's are struggling with or are trying to work on for us to get our hands on is rather difficult. I have seen the population in game at well over 1,000. Now days the population is becoming very low which is actually the reason for a lot of in game mechanics not "working as intended". If the Community was better informed of current challenges and setbacks that are presenting a problem I'm pretty sure the majority of us will understand and not be so quick to bail or complain. In addition to that if there was also an idea of what the team is currently working on or tinkering with, and your supporting community was being updated you might find much better reviews from various sources. It is sad that the gaming community is so fast to flame a game that isn't even in a launched version, and we quickly forget that we paid for a game filled with things needing to be worked out and new mechanics and content provided.

This all boils down to the player base is needed as much as the developers in order to be as successful as possible for both the players and the group running the show. If we keep our expectations realistic and support each other with much needed communication the reviews should get better over time. The company will start making more money from new sales, and better content being pushed into the game.

I know my words are simply just that however like it or not there is some very real truth in them. I certainly hope we start seeing better feedback from the dev's, and we as the supporting community can give these guys the support needed to release the game we all paid to have delivered.

I wish you all the best, and look forward to playing this game with you all!...

After reading the other replies to the original post I felt like I should write an example of what I am talking about so that if a member of the Dev team sees this they might understand better...

Good Afternoon Factured Community,

Here is a look at some of the ideas and challenges that we are working on and trying to fix and make the game run smoother for us all.

Let's discuss the all too well-known bridge issues we are having on the Wildfolk side of things... We are currently trying to tackle this issue that is being talked about and have had a few snags with the way the patch is reacting on the test server. We plan to have this issue resolved for the most part in the patch to fix it which we hope to have out by the end of the month. Please keep in mind this could be delayed should another issue arise before releasing the patch.

On another note we have been having a blast playing with the new portal mechanic on the test server and feel like you will all certainly enjoy seeing this much awaited part of the game being put into play. As things are right now it seems to be working smoothly on the test server and we hope to release this amazing new content next Friday.

Thank you all for your continued support and we look forward to growing together along this wild ride!
