Topic: Game population, Market and new players
A lot of the players currently would agree population is the key issues right now.
So why isn't the population growing?
There are some key things that can help the currently new player entering the game, which in turn helps the population by player retention.
The market needs to be seeded with T1 gear for new players to have an easier time when starting out.
I forgot to check last night, but I am pretty sure there are giant holes in the market when it comes to specific equipment. I think the npc seeding of the market was removed to soon and should have never been removed until much later. These items need to be seeded again with a price based on their component values.
Little things the devs can do to make the game seem a bit more alive or luring to new players.
Some npcs attacking other npcs around terminals and outposts.
Recent restoring of some spawns and changes to non targeting, unless aggressed seems to have been received well.
