As I went to sign on for the first time in 6 months, a few weeks ago, I was expecting to see the servers shut down, but instead found out that, not only were they not shut down, but 2 more updates had been established. What is going on with this game? A dry spell? Or the last days of Dust?

I would say that Dust is stagnant.

The only things being fixed are the things that have been "fixed" many times before and cash grabs being added. The player base has been stable or shrinking for a very long time now.

NPE has never been good at all and honestly does not show any signs of improving. This is the worst thing you could possibly say about a game in my opinion. In the world of micro transactions not having fresh blood in your game is ultimately a death sentence. If CCP put as much time and money in to NPE as they do into shameless cash grabs then this thread would not even exist.

And profitable. Now with the money they are raking in, they want to rake in more money, so they are updating dust. And dust being updated correctly is bringing new and old players by the spadeful back to dust. And that means more money!

I'd be a little upset if they came out on stage at fanfest and made any kind of announcement, good or bad. It's just too long to keep their players in the dark. I think they should give us the curtousy of letting us know, so we can save time and money, or spend time and money. I'm a try-hard, because half my team sits in the MCC.

But I have seen many new players over the last few days on the EU servers. I would love to see the data. Pity it will take them like a year to be competitive in PC. Only very few make it that far.
