Is steam Knight online dieing???

**kurtis** · 07-31-2016, 04:02 PM

Player base is currently 4700 users. About 3 months ago it was over 20000!!! What is happening to the game? Now they are merging servers!!! Was the hacking that bad people were finally quitting? Or was it the outrages prices for Knight cash on a 15 year old game????

all of the above.

prices were insane yes,but people got tired of paying those insane prices and still have alot of k0xpers and also,they rushed everything,83 and rebirth in less than 2 months not talking about ardream that took them 5 months to release,just stupid.

Yes to all of it. So many people were on for the drop of Ardream and stuff, but when they figured out it was shit also they quit.

It's just another private server. Obviously it was going to die eventually.

I'm not even joking. New USKO servers are literally just private servers for most of the player base. People like jumping from server to server and enjoy the first months. Only a very small percentage likes sticking to the same server for a long period of time. If anybody actually thought things were going to be different because of Steam, then I pity the fool. Having hope in this rotten game is a fool's errand, which is why the PSKO scene is as large as it is.

i think everyone tought on steam things could be different,since its fucking steam,we tought ntt wouldn't mess around but yea they did,actually that was the best possible opportunity for KO to get new players and stuff,since steam is huge,but like u said they made us fool once again.

All about the $$$

Yes. The game is dead. There is little hope for Knight Online. Only hope for this game now is for someone to buy it and make it monthly sub no power up store.

Monthly sub is an outdated business model. All you need is either proper anti-cheat, proper server-side measures or just a bunch of GM's patrolling 24/7.

Or sure, why not all of those? If only these chimpanzees knew that satisfied customers are less likely to quit = more money, they would get on it.

Cheats aren't what ruins this game. Babashoppers are what ruins the game. They get instant gratification by buying their way to overpower other players which in turn causes most players to quit. Babashoppers then get bored and quit themselves. There is no sense of unity or accomplishment in a game where you can win with your wallet.

Monthly subs are the only way. This game isn't good enough to be sustainable with a system like GW2.

Happens to every server, just because it's a different platform doesn't make any difference. Massively active for about 6 months, then people start selling out and activity drops.

Nothing new here. Thought you'd all have figured that out by now...

Babashoppers mostly buy their gold from cheaters.

idk i still think they don't ban people because those k0xpers are probabbly the ''official resellers'' selling the gbs they made by using k0xp,because what would be the reason for the gms not to ban people ? because i see alot people getting ban everyday yea,but i have no clue where this people are,because if you walk around after those massive bans,you will find k0xpers doing the chtiin quest,apes,cz,chaos stone...
