Honestly? Because of summer.
Even us pasty nerds know how to get outside and enjoy the weather a couple times a year. Eve Offline charts show a very slow decline, but if you check the Tranquility server history, even EVE experiences a seasonal dip when the Northern Hemisphere is in summer. (See Aussies? I'm aware you exist.) |

Ignorance is quite a comfortable cudgel to wield, isn't it?
It's very easy to lump people together as a group based on a label. I prefer to judge people based on their individual in-game talent and ability to express themselves clearly and calmly on the forum.
To each their own, however. |

I have been playing since open beta, I will continue to play until they shut down the servers. I'm no slayer, but I do ok
To be completely realistic: no one is really done with a game if there's something good to bring them back to it, right?
Bethesda delayed and delayed and delayed PS3 DLC for over a year. Once it came out, everyone was playing Skyrim again.
People don't stop playing DUST and delete their character (most, anyway). They just start playing other games and let their SP accrue if/until they come back.
CCP just needs to hit a home run one of these patches and many of your old vets will be signing on again to see what it's all about. I honestly believe that if we ever hit a point where game sites are saying "DUST is dead," it'd only be a matter of time before you start seeing "omg DUST is Lazarus, play it now" articles.
I'm not a fan of the process, but CCP is an iterative company. They know how to learn from their mistakes unlike many, many other companies. I hate how slow and buggy the process is, but I'm confident they'll get it right in the long term. |
