see i thought this was supposed to be the whole point of the eldemore twitter account on the news page (which STILL claims to be where they'll post more frequent updates, yet the only updates there appear to be the same ones available here).
i'm pretty annoyed and increasingly skeptical that the site is even coming back in any capacity. it's been down since december *2017* - we're pushing 3.5 years now of downtime - and i think a better option would have been to keep the site going while they did the recode, like flight rising has done.
i feel pretty let down by the lack of more frequent updates and the continued downtime, to the point where i won't be staying even if the site does come back up. just gonna stay long enough to trade my pets for elsewhere and then be done with it. :/
To be honest I am feeling the same way myself. I tried to be nice and patient but after so long and not even a token pet now and then to adopt I find that I am wondering if this site will ever be running again. Sadly I have seen many scenarios -similar to this one- being played out in regards to other sites. It follows similar patterns "We're redesigning" or "We're taking a hiatus 'cuz no one except us knows how to run the site and/or we're SO sick/poor/don't know how to code/can't find anyone to code/etc" .
Naturally there are occasions where these excuses are legit but I have been a member of many sites and they all fell to the wayside via the same exact script. Some will try to entice you by saying "Oh..it's just a couple more weeks or months then we'll be back" to keep members from leaving entirely.
Now, don't misunderstand, I understand that creating a website like this is not exactly easy-peasy and it can take a lot of work but with no updates (and I refuse to use discord or other social media) I wonder what is really happening.
Is it posible to have a site where one can do stuff even if it is playing some HTML5 games and just update as the work gets completed?
I really liked this site however when the RPG thing ended so abruptly and in a rather cheap way it was the first warning sign that something was up.
I'll keep checking in now and then but after four years I hope it is understood why some of us are a bit concerned about what fate holds for this place. If the project has been abandoned so more lucrative ventures could be pursued then at least let us know.
Not trying to be mean or impatient but with no new anything, even a pet or a game, I just wonder if everything is ok.
