to me it seems devs work on this project during vacations and free time. They are probably busy in RL so they do not work on project. If they created this project for their hobby, we should not expect instant progress.

1. This game being free doesn't mean it won't get blown up for being bad and/or unplayable. Video games are cheap, none of the people here are or were playing FOnline because they couldn't afford other titles.
2. The same principle as in #1 applies to the lack of really simple and necessary patches/bugfixes.
3. Even free games live and die by their playerbase.
4. When a game goes down, it starts losing players - a lot of them simply don't bother to come back. 2238 has an extremely low playerbase and the gameworld works best with 300+ online, so it sort of adds to the quality problems creating a vicious circle resulting in more players opting to quit.

Basically yeah, if they want to kill this game they should go on a vacation.

I do not antagonise developers, i do not defy them real life and do not bitch all the day on forums.
I must be an asslicker.  8)

Hololasima, so what's wrong with announcing it for public that the project will be frozen for a certain amount of time?

Nice_boat, i can see your point, especially the pos.4. Allow me to ask, which players is the game are going to lose? Those who beat on the "dead" horse in forums or those who will make a pause to return back after announced amount of time, in which the devs are working on solutions?
Because let's face it. When the trollbacks are gone, the server population will return to 50-80 players from 10 like now. I admit the game as unplayable now, but forums complaining and thanatologic posts won't solve them.

Feel free to call me desilusional, but i'm sure the trollback problem is worked upon, even if not in great haste or motivation, partly because of the, allow me some sarcasm, "thankful members of the player community".
As i don't know what else is distracting them, i won't even mention it.
I just want a significant sign, like taking the server offline, so the broken gameplay won't give fuel to forum trolls every day and a statement like "We're working upon it and we'll be back in 3 months", so the comeback will be anticipated by the playerbase.
Also, for everyone who don't even like this game, why do you even bother?

50-80 players is a sign the game is doing badly not something to strive for.

This is most hilarious. I don't think the developers would work on this if they dislike doing so.

you imagine that FOnline 2238 "is" vacation for devs, right?

is something "fun" "productive" "interesting" to do on summer vacation, just like what your mom tells you to do when school is over

This suggestion could be interresting, to remind all that it is irrellevant to troll the dev...
But it could be kind of hard for those who did nothing wrong...

Giving negative feedback isn't trolling when its deserved, this suggestion much like its creator isn't worth considering.

You could feedback saying that one thing is interresting but cause some bad consequences, and that it maybe better if some fix are done.

When someone says that those guys who are working on their free time, on a free game, that they are doing nothing but shit, and that they are purposelly breaking the server, is closer to troll, than feedback and advices.

I am maybe to focused on the way things are said, but if i were working on this, i'll bet it would influence my work...
