We've been very busy with our other games and it seems as if this game and community was ignored and has suffered quite a bit due to what some may consider a bit of "neglect". I take full responsibility and I'm very sorry to those who have shown support for this game and who have been hopeful for the community.
I just took some time to read reviews, feedback and suggestions that I must admit, some of it is somewhat surprising and unexpected. After our last game bundle for this game we've been contacted privately with concerns for this game's future, with suggestions and hopeful optimism, some negative out lash but all around it shows that players still care about this game and it's future.
We assumed there was a lack of interest for this title is why we haven't given it a lot of our attention (not a good excuse) and opened it up for bundles to give more players an opportunity to have access to experience the game if they wanted. Bundles are great in many ways and the support from some bundles are amazing but in other ways, it can have it's draw backs as well.
It is our responsibility to make sure your support is recognized, appreciated and that we see to the needs of all of our players especially those who silently have continued to have expectations in our progress and development.
We have a very productive plan in the works for the community in general that we believe everyone will come to like so we ask that you continue to be patient with us. We are still working things out for our company structure for '16 but our all around plan should keep us actively involved with AoF World Online. We have not abandoned nor will we abandon this game contrary to some belief.
We will be giving more time to building the support base for this community while working hard on continued improvements on the game itself. AoF World Online uses a discontinued game engine that is no longer supported so our modifications and updates will always be with the general structure of the game's original design (no major over haul).
We would like to open discussions now for community suggestions and feedback on what we could do better for the game and community. This is the first open forum I've invited for this game in quite some time so I do ask that everyone feel free to engage in the discussions and be open to give suggestions (keep in mind forum rules, no flaming, trolling or bating will be allowed).
We don't really ask for any further support or contribution than what has already been given us. We just would like your feedback so we can know what else we can implement to make you all who have already shown support happier players/customers.
