One of those new players here, who sadly joined just before the latest Hunt happened but only became active after it.
This mechanic and its effect on the state of the game/playerbase is very concerning. And with another Hunt possibly right around the corner, which I’ve learned I already qualify for (I’ve only really been active on grid for a month, but made the mistake of making a character months before I did so), it might just kill the few active people around. For one, I might get absolutely shafted by it, at which point I don’t know I can pretend to still be motivated to be a tier 1 for 2.5 months, unable to own the shop(s) I want to make let alone pay for my house or any items.
Should we start posting petitions about this, as suggested in this post? The playercount has been so low, I’m seriously considering leaving the game behind and trying out what few other MU*s around that still pique my curiosity and interest, especially if another Hunt in March will snag the few characters that have been around.
