As a recruiter I notice there's less and less overall activity on the game. Where I used to see 10 people online 3 years ago, there's 3 online today.
Every time it's the same... a patch is released with end game content and story... players get busy doing that and 2 weeks later they have completed it and are tired of it after which they don't sub again for 2 months till they get more end game or story content... it's sad that this seems to be the only thing people still seem to care about once they finish most things in the game.
Yoshi P said to not sub every month but it's rediculous that if you love social interraction, you have to skip 3-4 months of sub just to have a few weeks of serious social activity simply because people don't stick around.
I think telling people to skip subs is a terrible way to do it. I think a new method should be implemented to keep people invested in the game even if there is currently no storyline or end game content to do. And I believe this can be done by adding an in game mini game mode that can also be used through party and or duty finder where you can team up with other players (or the team you happen to be in) to do something silly.
A few examples would be:
- The floor is lava
- Hide & seek
- Riddle event
- FC vs FC pvp (this could get it's separate ranking)
- etc... every 1-3 patches they could add a new mini game.
It would be nice if you were given a few rule choices for each game and the ability to donate prizes people could win if they came out as the winner. This would promote random people acting silly together. People like me wouldn't mind funding prizes because I enjoy having people around. At the very least the game needs more reasons for people to flock to the game and I think we can easily do that with small adjustments.
