MODERATORS
TL;DR: The game only has two developers, who are also married. Unfortunately, one of them has been diagnosed with cancer, and coupled with the usual 2020 struggles, they don't have enough money left to pay for active developers.
From the story and their words, they seem really passionate about the project - they are former developers from another MMORPG game. It seems like they are putting the game on "life support", hoping to see some improvements in the sales. If things don't change, the project will ultimately be halted.
It makes me sad. I don't have any interest in MMO games, but they seem genuinely good people who tried their best. And cancer sucks, and seems like it's late stage too.
