Questions from a returning player

Jun 10, 2019 Capt. Bloody link
Hello. I am not sure if you care about my story but here it is:Some time ago, i used to play this game a lot, and i have met a lot of peapole, good and bad... For a long time, i was the member of VOID, and when it fell apart, i joined AQLA(hopefully that's the correct name), but i got bored really quickly and i left the game....

But now i decided to return, and i have a bunch of questions:

What is the current state with guilds as a whole?
What portion of a well-known peapole has stopped playing?
What are the major updates to the game since the collapse of VOID?
In general what has changed in the game in the past several years?

I have always known this community as a one that cares about the game and about its players, and i am sure that i will get a quick answer to all of this, as always. Thanks!

What is the current state with guilds as a whole?

You where expecting a change?

What portion of a well-known peapole has stopped playing?

All the ones except those that are still playing. The exact proportion is not commonly reported and is somewhat dependent on who you consider to be "well-known". Perhaps you will provide a list of names?

What are the major updates to the game since the collapse of VOID?

VOID collapsed? When? If you know the date, you can review the general forum yourself and review each update posted in detail. Alternatively, when you start the game, you may review the game updates.

In general what has changed in the game in the past several years?

How many is "several"? Again, you may review the general forum for posted updates.

...i am sure that i will get a quick answer to all of this, as always.

as always? ok. I hope this response was quick enough, but I otherwise suspect that your expectations may be on the overly optimistic side.

I am sorry for not being precise enough, it's hard for me to write long texts in English since it's not my first language. I'm just wondering how has game changed in,Let's say, last 2 years?

May i ask your Username while you were in VOID? It's very likely that i know you. A few of us VOID are around under different tags, or names, or both. Greenwall is still CO of VOID, and, well, everyone moved on to other things.

The game is "down" right now, but that's because of the time of year. Kids are getting off of school, work, etc. There is no ongoing wars asides Deneb. If your intentions are to stay around for a bit, i could use someone like you..er, whoever you are. Catch me in-game under the name "Saheeli Rai". We'll talk more then. Cheers.

It's same as my username here, Capt. Bloody. I am planning on creating a new alt to grind on, however i can help you, and will pm you when i see you in-game. Cheers!

Hey Capt. Blood, Dentek Collector here - I've missed you chasing me around wormholes. I have nobody to unload my swarms at :)

It's definitely feels quite quiet at the moment. I run into Ecka and Scorch occasionally or the usual suspects in cap ships. I've been so bored, I've been mapping asteroids and even helping noobs instead of shooting them.

I'm still in GREY but Golgo left and it's only a matter of time before it gets closed down because we have no commander.

Maybe we should form a new guild and coordinate our griefing / piracy / war on TGFT.

Or..instead of forming a new guild atm....just a thought..you P.M Saheeli Rai ;)

And Capt. Bloody sounds familiar. That may be Capt'N Blood that is ringing my bells though.

Either way, Welcome back to the soon-to-be chaos that is the Vendetta Online universe. Having older players come back is always a joy.

1. Guild activity is mostly down. TGFT and TRI seem to hold the highest amount of activity, but there's no real guild conflict going on, trader v pirate or Blue v Reds, and no new upcoming guilds that could change that.

2. I have been around since Jan 2017 and I think nearly every regular from then till like late 2018 have left the game, a few do show up for the free week though.

3. Since VOIDs collapse, quite a few things have changed. Since you were also AQLA, you would be aware of the goliath being made available and the capella being introduced in voys. They have introduced a lot of new weapons, buffed a few and nerfed some other stuff. They have also updated most outdated ships graphically, and also introduced NPC rats and some test sectors.

You can go through most of the major changes from the newsletters.

I'd have to say you're wrong on most of the regulars quitting, Aryko.

There is still many players around, even ones from before me, and you. I've only played since 4444. You came around 4445.. they are around. Just silent. It'll pick back up. I'm being optimistic.

I hope you are right... It would be nice to see a little bit more activity in the 'verse.
Jun 12, 2019 Aryko link
I didn't say anything about activity, though it's low right now but that's usual for this time of the year.

And I'm pretty sure about the regulars leaving, you might have been around since 4444 but you have only been in like 1-2 guilds? Nor have you been around for longer than a week or two since void died.

90-95% of the people on my buddy list haven't logged in in a long time, they moved on due to RL or to other games.

You just proved my point - i've been around for a good near 2 months now. I don't use the Knoxville name anymore though.
