Prepared to state how long the game will go on for?? Doubt it.
The game isn't shutting down soon, it still has a wide player base. There does seem to be a handful of bloggers who come here to constantly slam it. They are the equivilent of the boy who cried wolf, if your on the forum much you ignore them. Take off the tin foil hats, Gree has too much invested in MW to fold up shop.
Gree is developing a serious PR problem. If you go to the App Store and look at the reviews of the game - it's bad. Very bad. I doubt too many new players are coming aboard. Most new games are minis of current players, trying to fill the void. A lot of people are leaving the game, I'd say they lost 10-20% since the start of the year. But there are still a lot of players.
But Gree has to keep them interested. RB is doing just the opposite. People have to think they can win before they will participate. If you want people to buy gold you have to give them something in return. The last few events was more like Gree demanding you empty your pockets. When our gold players start complaining, it's an issue. And they've been complaining a lot lately.
I think you far overestimate how many players are actually left.
But its not grees call, its apples. If gree cant get a 64bit version past apple then no more app store.(though who knows if apple will really go through with it?)
Now as.easy as the 64bit fix is meant to be, has gree demonstrated any programing know how recently that would let you sleep easy knowing the update was in safe hands?
p.s. if you'd like to see more of their pr problems have a read of their fb page
It is obvious you have already dismissed any capable programmers you may have had so no fix is possible. All new rollouts are riddled with defects. Old problems remain unresolved as new glitches are introduced. The game has changed in such a way that new players have no chance of meaningful participation so therefore no new players will be introduced to the game. All downloads now are current players desperately trying to get the game to work.
I don't understand. Why isn't Modern War shutting down?
Of course I remember the Iraq war when Bagdad Bob would have regular news conferences to tell the world how they were beating the Americans even as American tanks were entering the city.
Relic did you work in Iraq once upon a time?
In Canada a Vault of Gold on Android is $100.00 and on iOS it is $140.00
I'm sad the game is shutting down, I thought it was fun last year when there were people in charge that knew what they were doing. Now it seems like nobody cares about it. I guess they want the game to go down in flames with SUP still spending money on a broken game. Fix the game or tell us that this is the end. Dont lie to us and say everything is fine, when you know damn well its not.
Just have your marshmallows ready
At no point last year did anyone at GREE have any idea of what the hell they were doing.
I think you guys would be the last to know
No, it's not what you think. It's much, much worse!
One thing that always seems to be overlooked is that GREE as we know it is not all there is to the company. These games and these copy-cat titles are only one part of the machine, and may not be one that is all that important or lucrative overall. It would be very interesting to see just how the part we know compares with the rest.
I'm about 6 weeks free of modern war, looks like I made the decision. As for the mod saying the game isn't shutting down... The people who pay for this BS game decides when it shuts down. No revenue, no game. And with the current trend, perhaps the mods should start interviewing elsewhere...������������
During the last fl I missed day one. After I started hitting I checked my rank, I was about 12,500 after the first battle. So we have at least that manyplayers left. I know how many have left my faction and the ones I visit. I think I have a pretty good idea how many have left the middle ranks. Maybe they are leaving the top 50 faster, don't really know and don't really care as I don't fight in that crowd anymore., it's too demanding.
It's funny just a few months ago we were estimating between 120k and 150k players. Now we are looking at only having maybe 35% of those numbers? Pretty pathetic. I think I'll test it out next FL by sitting out with the exception of one hit to just get ranked.
Did you notice last 2 FLs, they were only handing out Indy rewards for the first 10k, not 40k? Don't think there is 40k players left, closer to 20-25K, maybe.
That's closer to the number I believe it actually is. However given that it seems the average faction number is about 40, that would mean 40k in the top 1000. Overall I believe it to be between 25k on the low end and 50k on the high end. Either way, it's drastically lower than it was a few months ago and merely a drop in the bucket from a year ago.
