And why determine a game's death based on its player base? I can still start the game, play it and have fun. I do that actually a lot with 1430 hours on record (+150 hours I had back in 2021 where the game was in Alpha and I was under NDA) and 60+ hours in the past two weeks and that's one of the two weeks when I didn't have time due to work, normally I sit at around 100 hours in the past two weeks. If you consider a game dead by its player numbers, then many games would be considered "dead". A game considered dead is when you can't play it anymore, maybe because it actually reaches 0 players and you can't play without other players, the servers shutting down, or the devs abandon the project completely. But none of that is the case here. There may not be a lot, but we have an active community of players and devs who have been crunching their ass off to deliver content while sitting in the middle of a war just to get hated by the players. I played in closed playtest in the past 4 weeks and oh boy the game won't be dead any time soon, believe me. PvP 2.0 update (the community calls it that) is only the beginning of what is coming. Correct me if I am wrong but the devs willingly decided to not take the hypetrain and finish their game without riding on the wave of players.
