I think a playerworld could gain a good playerbase with good development, then keep it by forming a community. |
Mithica's levels were utter **** in 2001 and it "attracted" and "kept" players because of it's community. The community itself was just a bunch of people rushing to see Mithica after it went non-p2p.

Besides, no community can survive unless new members are added to it... otherwise people slowly leave, and the playercount slowly goes down.
(sadly that's how N-Pulse has been for the past few years)

Your logic with motivation isn't right... you need to be motivated to MAKE a good playerworld, to attract a good community. How can a good playerworld be created without motivated development staff? (Though maybe that's the point?)

I'm saying that some people such as myself have no motivation to develope or maybe KEEP the motivation. Why? Because at first im drawn into the project but then find no reason to take a step.
