What keeps you away from playing Salem?

It has always been the desire of the devs to provide a place where even those that would otherwise be unwelcome elsewhere, would be welcome here. Those that rage, grief, and cause heartbreak to others may find a home in SeaTribe games. =)

Aw ****. That sounded nice. We try.

I would be very surprised if it were more than two months away.

Now you've done it...

I guess you have to have a green name to get a response. Albeit a bad one.

From me? Not at all. What is it you want a response to?

The same thing I have for a while. What do you guys plan to do with the game and what about the player base? Jorb this game is awesome. But you have a lot of empty servers. Is there any plan to get new people in game and at least give em a chance before the titan guys kill em off?

Can we get some musings on gluttony reimplementation to tide us over until it's implemented? Do you have concrete ideas yet, or is everything still up in air? What do you consider to be the main issues? How will you fix the UI in regards to gluttony? Project Mayhem update really messed that up, time pressure AND items that look exactly the same yet have totally different stats? No, thanks.

Fix the gluttony system first and foremost. The other details I'm not actually entirely sure about myself. Consolidating the servers in one way or another -- through implementing server migration, for example -- is certainly a development priority that we could consider.

Honestly we have very loose ideas ourselves, apart from the fundamental dictum to keep developing. Once the gluttony thing is out of the way we should eventually be able to resume a schedule of more regular updates, and also please remember that we had a pretty hard run of about 2.5 years where we basically did nothing but work on Salem under at least some amount of pressure, so these past couple of months of seeming inactivity have been a very welcome respite.

I don't think getting new people into the game is really something I should be focusing on other than indirectly through building as good a game as I can.

Wow this even brought out Stax.

lol. That was actually an aspect I hadn't considered. Thanks.

I might post something when I have a clearer vision. Right now I still mostly see the problems and a thousand ideas I don't like.

I absolutely agree you need your time. I just wanted to know what the plan is. What about these titan guys? Any plans to wipe and get a fresh start going? I am sure there are a lot of people who not mind a do over Oh and thank you very much for responding to me.
