they just preserve the existing playerbase
new players dont fucking spend either
so the developers dont really care if they stay, they just can come in during express events, fluff the numbers up a bit

then they can quit for all they care
new players do spend but rmt in this game is extremely expensive compared to other games
and the payoff is so little
rmt is cheap in this game if you aren't constantly trying to stay in the top 1%, it also has little bearing on new player retention
the mat packs in the official shop are worthless
Wildstar's situation was...different. Wildstar tried to do the hardcore raiding thing before it was as popular as it got to be. They also ran into management issues, update release issues, etc
I miss wildstar
I don't think hardcore raiding is that popular in the western demographic. A lot of westerners are casual.
Thay game was so fun
I do undersetand what you are saying about the rest of your statement though.
people really think lost ark will actually die in the west
when nexon literally scams their playerbase
I was part of a guild that got early access to their new pvp arena and with the dev's and also chatted with them on voice, was quite fun 
I don't think it will necesarrily die. It will just continue to get less and less popular with a decreasing player population.
that's
That's my opinion.
almost every mmo
Its more popular than you're giving it credit for. It was "ahead of its time" in that regard, sure the western market is more casual oriented but that doesn't stop them from trying to do these things.
Lost ark will never die, every region has its whale to keep the servers up, naw has chuan, nae has chuans nae roster, eu has chuans secret roster
you guys ar ejust arguing semantics
Some MMOs have survived the test of time.
mmos for the most part dont gain new players in the middle of their lifespan
Lost Ark won't.
It was a shame Wildstar died, It had some of the best raids out there @frail swallow 
if playerbase drops to 10k it might as well be dead

huh? concurrent?
Actually chinese r
And I think one issue they ran into, that they could have resolved given the opportunity to do so, would be to give the raids difficulty tiers
Just for accessibility sake
But...died before they could, so
FF14 is the only popular mmo currently that somewhat has a consistent population gain with each expansion (not counting dead periods of expansions)
yo these bus drivers have been in akkan g3 for 45 minutes what the fuck
WoW pretty much loses players over the years, not that it really matters
Maybe don't get a bus?
Only thing we can hope for is a private server that gets legitimized by NCSoft
Like CoH
with Homecoming
Bus them
but i need my PLC to imposter into raids
GW2 was on a decline with the exception of EoD release where it saw a massive population jump, then it leveled off again
GW2 has had retention issues basically since HoT
Surely you get a refund right @ancient talon ;D #westerndrivershavehonortoo 
ESO has been pretty much stagnant
Hell, before HoT
That's why we gatekeep u 
ANet leans heavy on the casual side of things, but even those casuals take extended breaks

Holy.
š
Arcana Leg skin.
??? i'll have plc
First Mage skin that looks good 
my plc mask is almost ready
it's okay though, people can continue to think this game is remotely close to dying
This is one of the two good mage skins.
And 100 roster, event gems, los18
Bro the eyebrows
almost los30
Your character design makes me happy
thank you chris
SA role when
I appreciate it
Yea,
I used to love playing that game, sadly feel off a bit towards the end when It was dying, don't really know why, but did Datascape raid and got world-first Avatus on PvP Server
Fun raid.
BDO has been leaning on similar player numbers for years as well in NA/EU...Lost Ark isn't in any more danger of closing than them.
Not like their 5 players would mind
maplestory is my best example

if the developer can scam the players, get fined in a court of law
betrayed two seconds in
and still have their game be alive in the west
well.....
that's a pretty high bar to exceed
Wym they still good designs they just not pretty 
People still playing and spending money
Omg this is beautiful

dear god
found it ty

This should be reportable.

League of Maidens is a free to play game where you can create and customize your own sexy characters and fight in various scenarios.


it says sexy in the description
Imagine BDO gear progression (without gear breaking or downgrading), grinding like bdo but instanced like Diablo, single player, and coomer.

Gems angle then by the time ur close to klc u will have enough for that selector
Itās free 
Those gems are very valuable cuz u can buy them weekly
They just dropped a new dlc too
without the good combat either 
League of Maiden 
Guys how can i even play the game xddd

aight ty
ken has a semifinalmouse
nice angle bro
Combat is good, but doesnāt touch bdo. Game isnāt a massive mmo title. 
why are you summoning scalp justin ?
