[Qualan]

the game being down doesnt make bug fixing faster alas nor better

BB post on german forums: "Die Welten werden gleich langsam hochgefahren. Es kann noch ein paar Minuten andauern, eine Verlängerung benötigen wir jedoch nicht mehr."
So we'll see in couple of minutes.

What is really stupid is that BB don't seem to have any idea as to what makes a game like this a commercial success. I have spent a lot of money on BB over the years for various games, and had this game been well run and supported I would have on this as a token gesture to support them.

Their performance to date (I started in January) gives me absolutely no inclination to spend any real cash at all on this.

they made a bad decision on unity/imprlementation of it and haven been trying to recover ever since but dont seem to make enough inroads

The game is old so that also makes it a difficult one. It might have been better to make TSO2 and have everyone start over in a new architecture with similar gameplay philosophy but we are where we are and now they either get it to work and we will so how long it runs or they dont and somewhere soonish a plug will be pulled or they leave it running in a kinda timewarp setting - no new stuff and just run as is till it isnt worth it anymore to them

game is back up, but get ready for another close, global chat, help and trade are not working

The game is old so that also makes it a difficult one.

Whether or not the game is old makes barely any difference, considering that from a functional perspective its really primitive and theres no indication of why it would have many complicated parts inside (essentially around half of the game is executing similar tasks at specific points in time).

What is most likely the games main problem is that they completely failed their business model from the very start, and failed to deliver anything a larger populace would pay for (considering literally everything of value is available for free during events, and given enough patience you can get thousands of € worth of gems for absolutely free from the pits).

Even if you disregard bugs happening less or more often nowadays that it used to, they showed no intention of introducing any new content since late 2019, and havent actually introduced new one since mid 2017. Its evident that theres a round zero money thrown at the game right now (and has been for years) so hard to expect any breakthrough in quality.
