My bad for necroing this but what I see from reading the forums the biggest issue is there is no news on the WIP to the point where you can't even tell there is any WIP at all. Like, do soemthing similar to Bannerlord and release a weekly summary of the progress so that people can at least tell its not dead yet lol. And whether there is any thoughts on shutting it down.
I haven't tried the 2.0 yet... gonna binge 1.0 just to explore the world and quests while its still alive. I was waiting for 6 months since I heard of the wipe, but now... whatever. It's better to get wiped than not to have played at all.
me sad
