While I too struggle at times to find something to do, I look to others at times to inspire me to build something new outside my comfort zone or venture off to a new place. But what made those games for me was the community that loved all the games I listed from the clans I spent 36 hour raids with defeating Molten Core and Blackwing Layer with to the people that helped me see my first hub in Boundless… to the people inviting me to my first gleambow hunt and those same people just simply waving in the game to me. It’s the community that can make or break a game and not the game I too played all the games you’ve listed, along with numerous others I stuck out for a long time, 7 Days to Die, Planet Coaster, WoW, Guild Wars 1 & 2, and the list goes on and on. That was my true first venture into a true gaming community… and in my career. Gaming launched my career in web development way back in the day by me simply joining a Quake 1 CTF server and befriending some random dude … we formed a clan … which turned into a large clan … and he asked me to travel 14 hours to a New Years party …offered me a job at his web company he owned … just after we puked together on a couch from drinking too much… all thanks to gaming. I’m old as hell, I have played so many games and been in MANY gaming communities both large and small. I have seen it dozens of times as have tons of other gamers just like me. The only thing that really allows a game to live on is the community around it.
#BOUNDLESS GAME COMPRESSED SILT UPDATE#
The update would come it would still be the same game … with a little added twist… 12 devs could suddenly post 100’s of posts … James could say “I got ya! We’re back!” but people will still get bored and play something else it’s inevitable. None of this makes me not want to play the game, so I’ll remain hopeful and see you in the You my friend, have TOTALLY proven a point I have been trying to make for a long time on these forums… boredom… it is the main reason people are leaving the game.
I’ll keep everyone posted, but one thing I have realized is I get answers and resolution to most every technical issue, but anything more than that I get silence. I don’t need these questions answered really, but I am hopeful that I can somehow get some questions answered for the community to possibly eliminate communication as one of the reasons people have be leaving the game.
So I have emailed Turbulenz with some questions and again asking James the same questions in hopes of getting some answers. I have messaged James with much success in the past and most issues I have had have been handled pretty quickly. I also have contacted James on a grief issue and am hopeful that is resolved too. While I don’t think I’ll get a response I will remain hopeful. It’s been four days and nothing more than the automated response I got on the initial send. I don’t know that I expect an answer from it, but it was well worded and something I put some actual effort into writing. So I was thinking on this and how I have recently emailed Turbulenz about some questions we as a community had about the game and a few personal questions I wanted answered. So kids, the morale of the story is: you can grief people as long as it’s within the gray-area of the game’s rules. Had the griefer stayed with his original thing, it would still be here. Took 3 months, but in the end, he surpassed my hopes. He and I both knew it was a grief and nothing else, and so I was stuck in what I can only describe as Limbo for like 3 months because the devs weren’t going to help me…īut then the griefer made a clear and obvious additional build beyond the line of what was acceptable, and so THEN, James intervened in a way where, I gotta say, I will never be able to re-pay him. He was basically building objectively hideous monoliths as close as he could from the places of people he didn’t like on the forum just to antagonize them, and was always like “oh, that’s your place? I didn’t know! Eh, but my fantastic monolith HAS to be here for Lore reasons”. The last time I was griefed by someone, that was a clever grief. Griefing support was another thing entirely though.
