Hello guys, i'm Deryn Sharp and i started playing in July, then i took a big pause. Now i want to play again, but i wonder if a significant number of people left during my break. I played 30 mn today and i didn't saw much of lobbies, so... Ye, before taking the game seriously again i wanted to know that. I mean, i know good games don't have that much of popularity nowadays... And i'm used to be heartbroken seeing my new hobbies getting deserted.  :-\

I hope it was the right section to post that, and please, excuse me if it wasn't. I don't remember to have posted yet.

Sorry for my bad english, its a little rusty, 20 century-ish... Y'know... Anyway, thanks in advance for your answers, and i hope we'll meet in game soon :)

The summer crowd went back to school is one big reason. But theres likely a myriad of others. GOIO does this. We see huge boom periods and then huge down periods. Honestly I'm not surprised. This has been the routine for the last year. I wouldn't expect things to really pick up till COOP hits. The PVE element brings in another crowd which often leaks into the PVP area.

...Hell, just pair up a large or medium-large youtube/streamer and a steam sale, and you'll see Crap loads of people...  However, not all of them are the kind of people that this community will tolerate. Only a fraction of the people from the sales are the kind of people who stick with the game and contribute positively to this community.






(Personally, it is such a chore keeping things civil when the small but vocal crowd of mysogynistic 12-year olds come in. Or those idiots who are like "Hail Hitler", or the trolls. I, as a reasonably sane, responsible human being frown upon those people, and can relate to those who take offense to those kinds of people.)

Offtopic, but it's kind of odd that this is the first reference to westerfeld's leviathan I've seen on the forum. As obsessed with skywhales as we are, someone should have noticed a book with a giant honking skywhale right in the name. Plus it has steampunk zepellins and mecha, so it should appeal a lot to the GOIO crowd.

Canon Whitecandle:
Not only have the summer crowd gone back to school, but there seems to have been an odd rash of computer mess-ups amongst the people I usually play with as well as a myriad of Youtubers, (Star, Minicorn, etc.). That's why I'm gone currently, can't play GoIO on my crap laptop.
