Yet again you tiptoe around things and aren't honest in a way that expresses what your wanting to say and what you are saying comes off as completely irrelevant or not what is being asked . Its always two different things.
You've defended the decision against why the chat was taken away-- people have listened to that and understood it to an extent. There are the users still who want it back and still feel bothered by it. You can't help but to expect these responses.
Whether or not the communication issue is going to be addressed is yet to be seen. Because that still seems to sit in the back of your minds as is. A lot of collected opinions that say the same thing does some time mean something.
It should also be thrown out there that most of these users are NOT trying to attack you-- they care about this game just as much as you do otherwise they wouldn't even bother voicing their opinions.
Personally I could care one or two ways about the general chat being gone-- but the lack of communication, the avoidance of these issues, and the way you guys handle things are per usual leave some to be desired.
And your reaction to this will be the one about how the staff are working with a stagnant game? For this very reason you guys are held to a more higher pedestal. I know your frustrated with the "give, give" mindset but you have to realize if you plan on making decisions that are going to impact such a large portion of what the game is based around that people are going to question and look to you for answers more than ever-- and on more than just why it is taken away.
The way its phrased makes me believe that myself and many others are missing something here that is being held away from us. In this case-- why isn't communication being so stressed now? The community events that used to be held? Like the movie nights? Or the stuff i threw out as examples in my other post. These are ones that keep a community together. Your involvement whether you like to accept it or not is what a lot of people rely on without the game creator.
I think it should also be stated by myself that I dont think Feral Heart has a bad community. Just one that needs improvements much like any other. And part of fixing that and making it better is having the gonads to accept criticism with a grain of rice instead of brushing it off just because your ego or your set ways say so. Maybe even if it goes against what the system says, trying new things with this can only do better and if does bad can be reverted to what it was.
But maybe these general thing isn't the only thing that needs to be considered, and maybe the users arent the only ones who need to learn to adapt to some change.
