It's been a while since I've looked into DU. The last time I played was during the big change with mining claims, etc. Just doing my annual check-in and it seems like not much has changed since then. It looked at player counts and it struck me how ironic the whole concept of DU is now. They spent so much time building this amazing server mesh tech and now the whole game could run on a single server instance 😄 I couldn't help but laugh at the irony of it all. This will probably be my last check-in. To all you other kickstarters out there: so long and thanks for all the fish!

Your HQ is near me on Alioth and its always fun looking at your stuff when I make the hop over you to District 6. I think you're making the right decision. It's sad that things are in this state. I've seen tons of posts from community members explaining exactly how to fix each part of this game, but none of it is listened too. Instead, we get changes that no-one ever wanted. I don't expect the game to last much longer.

Honestly, there's too much wrong with the "building" system in this game to even bother typing a big post about. The voxel system is archaic and not that fun to use. It's too tedious for anyone but the most dedicated builders to make anything that looks good. NQ aren't adding enough new element models to keep building interesting. There aren't the right society management tools to allow a "civilization" of players to build things together. And even if there were, the engine can't really support a large construction project like a city or massive space station. There hasn't been any real development progress in the past year. Without major changes, DU will continue to look like a tech project from the early 2000's and it will slowly die off.

Thanks Nyzaltar!

Hi all. New patron. Just trying to get into the game. Can't log in on the main website (500 error every time). Can't post without moderation on the forums. Can't even post a comment on my own profile without moderation. Great experience so far
