Firstly, lets not exaggerate a bit and keep this a 100% honest conversation... The game sits at about 800-1000 players, which is indeed horrible to where it was standing prior. I 110% agree with you. The content that has been worked on seems like its cosmetics, cosmetics and some more darn cosmetics. However Classic has massive amounts of projects that are so close to completion and they just lack the help of developers of all types. If your interested in really helping classic, then do something about it. Apply for a position, I'm pretty sure there hiring for all types of positions. You can check out the discord discord.gg/graalians and help make those changes and make a difference in general.

We're sitting at 800-1000 only because of the frog event, which happens every year and is usually advertised on social media.
Give people time to complete the event and get their cosmetics, then they'll leave again for a while until something opens or another event happens. When nothing is going on, it'll drop back down to around 500. This has happened every time an event happens, even when we still had 4500 players on a normal day an event would bring it up to 5000-5500.
So, I shouldn't have to, as a consumer, be forced to participate in the development of a game if I want something to change. At this point that's entirely the manager's fault for not being able to retain employees/volunteers, further showcases the disjunction at that level, and is the reason nothing gets done on time/ever.
I don't have the time, skills, or experience in graphical or technical development, and to ask a consumer to spend their time trying to learn the skills necessary to make the game better is comical.
The forum and discord is there for us to relay our feedback and share the problems we face. I shouldn't have to be forced to help make a difference if I find something wrong. If I were to play CoD and said I didn't like something I would hope never to be asked to help make a difference by physically becoming a part of the development.
My point is the development team is the problem with their lack of transparency, and I don't want to be a part of a team that only tends to focus on things that don't matter.
We would like to know what these projects actually are so we can look forward to something. Hopefully giveaway and event streams aren't the only streams
you want to do in the future.
