We don't come here because we want to see the game die.
Seeing the game slowly die because of lack of care and effort by KRU feels almost personal and like a slap in the face. Here they have the license to a game that they probably couldn't care less if it goes under or not, and once Nexus is gone it will be gone for good. I think most people continually check back here because they may have a glimmer of hope that Nexus gets taken over by another company, or maybe one day KRU wakes the [Content removed] up and decides to change.
That's why I check back. I keep hoping to see something significant happen with Nexus. I think I'd be sad to see it "die". I haven't ever found a game quite like it, especially when it comes to community. I'm also playing FFXIV, and I enjoy the game, but that didn't stop my heart getting a little flutter when I saw a flurry of updates on NA with titles like "KRU cares about us! KRU really, really cares about us!" Although I was sorely disappointed with the actual report. Not sure a Valentine's event and some new AFK animation (along with some undisclosed future changes that may be happening) was what I would call "really, really caring" about somebody.
I would love to return to Nexus, but everytime I re-reg it never feels the same. I left off at level 99 several years ago. I never was much of a hunter. Now that I'm more interested in hunting, my only real option is a leech since there's hardly any level 99ers left. Subpaths seem quiet, and I'm not sure what clans are still around. The game overall seems very quiet when I re-reg.
I'm sure a ton of people have offered advice on how to fix the game. Honestly, I think a good start would be to just get rid of Tangun. The old tutorial system was so simple and great! I tried to get some friends to play Nexus a while ago and they just couldn't get into it because Tangun is a gaggle [Content removed]. That and decreasing the subscription amount to $5 or something. I don't know. That's where my problem is. The community is great and could have fixed a lot of things, but a lot of things need the help of KRU and that help still hasn't come. It's hard to care about a game where the devs don't.
Nonetheless, I keep my eye on NA and the forums from time to time. I think most of us still care to some degree.
