is lljk dead

I feel a lot of the issues stem from one core concept. A lack of communication between staff members and players.

Something as simple as a "this is what were working on" post or a more detailed development roadmap goes a long way to allowing the players to feel more involved and forming an actual community that keeps people coming back while generating anticipation of cool new things.

Scheduled events can also draw in numerous players, people like to be a part of something

That aside, I also feel that we lose a lot of players via early round deaths. Giving dead people more things to do will go a long way towards keeping them online until the next round starts. Ghost drones were a great addition, but we should try to expand upon it with other low round impact things (personal ai I still think could be quite fun, even as a purely textual role with no other abilities - new players could certainly benefit from an experienced player that they can keep in their pocket. Hivemind seems to work pretty well for lings afterall)
