@Dev's

Zoom I do applaud your activity and attempted transparency with upcoming changes but we have yet to see anything close to the light at the end of the tunnel. (Steam success)

You need be much more aggressive in your interactions with the players on behalf of the dev team, now more than ever. While you may have limited resources to perform the action items at hand, it is now more important than ever  you devs do not make design mistakes. Obviously there is a large disconnect with English being a second language to you guys causing god knows what kind of miscommunication.

When you have design questions/ideas present them to the players in as a proposal and clearly state what kind of feedback you are looking for. This could be anything from balance, Mechanics, Database, Hardware and any other situation your limited staff can handle.

At this point in time any and everyone on these forums is here to support you in some fashion. You NEED to start leveraging us as a resource and not as a angry mob. Posting half thoughts and not setting the narrative is how you end up with 7 threads of sporadic dev responses mixed with confused posts trying to understand what is to come.

I honestly believe that disabling content that is beyond your proper resource management will be key to your success. I cannot remember the last time that my STARTING SLOGAN is still true about this game. "This game has unlimited potential built on a stable foundation just waiting to grow"

Why have we devolved to a state of previously having 100's if not 1000's of players in a zone to crashing during 500-1000 or so players joining from stEvE, being unable to cross player built islands due to lag.

What FAITH am i to have that if say 500 or more players hit this server it would be stable and supportive for them to even get PAST alpha. I give two *** if my gamma is insta-lock/terraformable/you name it.

All I want is to log in and see a NIA the way it was in my starting few months, teeming with life, stable and functional.
