Cancelled. (as in no longer being posted on the forum.)
To explain better, story focused entirely on the game itself once the dev leads changed around, so that's why the forum posts no longer have been updated. You can find the newly-added broadcasts on different in-game bases.
Yeah so I find ages later something big happened, nobody else does seemingly even, and then all staff made news on the forums are stuff like this and things hidden in patch notes.
It's a small thing but they have been adding up over the past over a year or so.

Even more funny. Its the only notices on the front pages besides new staff appointments.
No events, no patches, no nothing.
Most staff does literally nothing except appoint new people who do nothing for the game either.
This message will be replied by people in staff who will feel offended by this message, but a game only survives with proper management that cares about the game and the community. While the game is burning down and people give up in droves, they worry about stuff like balance.
Edit: This does not refer to the amazing staff members who kept this game going all this time like St.Denis and Alex. Thank you for all the hard work
But the focus should be how to make the game more enjoyable for everyone. Powertraders, RPers, everyone. Just not a select people who think they know how you should properly play this game.
Can't agree more with all this and I certainly couldn't have put it better myself.
The drop in active players was foreseeable, if you just looked out the window. I'm not scared of that, although it has been dwindling for a while.
Everything Meg, etc. said is true. I have nothing to add except that the development's state is quite laughable (as in, obvious biases, bullshit, endless dramas among them allegedly, etc, etc, etc.).
The adminship has to do something about the lethargic state of the mod.
It will be a shame to see it fall, but if you don't do something; it will.

If you don't want to play, then simply leave at your own leisure. If others want to play, that is their decision. As far as things are going, it's a particularly dry spell that unfortunately was hasten by the bureaucracy of staff. A very inefficient system, what do you expect new mods to do? They need 'permission' to do anything.
