Sadly JC is always right, none of the massive chances ever got adjusted even slightly and now he's basically (minus a few weeks) inactive since 2015. That also goes for most serious players, this game once had. At this point we'd need a significant more interesting game-state than it was anno 2015. Its not for nothing that so many people have distanced themselves from this game and the dev-team, the feedback from, veterams has always been fully ignored by JC and they have done everything to dodge the balancing aspects of this game.
Instead they opted for a temporary cash-cow, so they would get maximum profit from the carebears and nuke the cool and unique features Salem had to the ground.
I strongly believe that they initially had a different purpose, but once they had eliminated their old group members (Candy Gang, MM tribe and some other people) JC slowly changed his attitude, into something his past self would absolutely would strongly condemn.
Mortal Moments Inc. is not here to cannibalize the community or piece out the code. We are not here because we wish to institute pay to win models or PvE servers. Quite the contrary.
Yet they have done exactly that, while completely failing in their obligations and promises to make Salem a better place. JC has single handedly ruined this game, while fully being aware of it and ignoring literally everyone. Hence not only ignoring them, also generally ***** them on purpose and heading to the opposite direction.
In my opinion the game still has potential if its going back to its roots and adding the content there, so drama and end-game events will be interesting again. Would the current dev-team be able to do this, I think most likely not, nor do I think JC will ever drop his pride and admit that he failed, so permanent silence might be the better option, while putting development on zero with still some monthly income from the game to cover up the initial development and take-over.
Hence, since Meow and Marp were not getting paid, he might have even made money at this point. We are talking about tops 6-7 months game-development and if I recall the top 10 pool payments from 2014-2016 must have netted in the 5 digit numbers.
Yes I am still sour on those cunts (mainly JC), for ruining this game for their personal gains/feelings. I know its amazing to become a developer of a game, you once loved and played. But ***** you very much for ruining it and ignoring literally everyone for nearly 5 years. Game was most likely better off under Jorb/Loftar at this point. (which was also bad, but at least they made slow and steady changes with regular tweaking and adapting)
