Looks and sounds great.
I have 3 problems here:
1. I really like all the news stuff, but there doesn't seem to be any servers on the experimental branch.
2. It's good that new features are being put in, but i really can't be arsed to play anymore if nothing is being done about all the hacking. There's so many leaks and bugs in the game that it's just too easy....
3. You're really taking too long with all of this, like i said, fix the bugs first, then start adding more stuff. The game really is unplayable right now.
In all: it's no miracle that the player base is dropping rapidly, if you don't fix what needs to be fixed and work on new stuff instead... you won't get people to stick with the game....
It probably should be dropping rapidly and that's okay. It's not a finished game, in fact it's barely developed, as they create something better over the coming months people will play it. As the game changes it may attract new and different players, this is all fine.
