I would assume low thousands is less than 10,000. I would think he would have said low tens of thousands or low hundreds of thousands if the figures were that high.

low thousands seem quite obvious to me to be the low side of 1-9k range (below 5k would be a fair guess), while saying low tens of thousands would mean low side of 11-99k range (below 50k most likely);
so saying thousands seems to point at 1-9k bracket
saying low would point to below 5k, but more likely even below 4k (logically you would expect that if someone says low as description of part of wider range, he/she thinks about typical 3-way partitioning into low-medium-high; in our case low would be 1-3/4k, medium is 3/4-5/6k and high is 6/7-9k)

LOL you had the same experience I had was building my little sand and dirt house in the middle of no where for a couple days then one day I hear Atoobio! There was Kairoos and Whitlet hooked me up with some tools and grapples. They opened a portal to the EZPZ hub then showed me around a few places. Gave me some caustic chili and then to TNT. I found out what the game really had with malls and fantastic builds etc…

The discussion regarding BG3 and Larian has been moved to OT as James stated Boundless is independent of those entities. Therefore, it’s not a Boundless topic.

And the rest of the ocean is made of all the other un-wise things I say all the time?
'cause it would be fair to say. XD
But thanks for saying that.

Is there any way to decouple the meelee/shield update from the private universe update? Most of the drag-downer posts seem to be guffed about not having the meelee/shield stuff and not interested in the private universe part so much, and the latter seems like a huge update worthy of its own.

Their normal approach was to pull things that were not working and release the larger update to keep people waiting or try to if they could. Since they didn’t follow through with this for this update then likely it was feasible from a work or some other technical reason.

This makes no sense to me, I fell in love with the game by following the tutorial; people saying “it took me bla bla bla before I could get an AOE” make no sense–what would you have done if you were the first player and had to build up to making the AOE yourself but you wouldn’t even know it was a possibility until starting to forge yourself. That’s how to judge the pace of the game, not zomg I don’t have what that other person has yet,

oh right I forgot the whole update already runs on the test servers, i played it long enough to see the melee & shield, even.
I had a blast with the tutorial. Every day was a new thing and new discoveries. If I had it to easy, I would have lost interest and not stuck with the game as long as I have.
Those who can’t tough it out and learn the in and outs of the game, perhaps we’re better off without them.

Or perhaps if they had stayed we would have enough people playing that the game would actually be generating enough cash to pay for its running cost and maybe even continued development.

Ok, going to put this out here, because why not…
Is there a chance Sony might be willing to pick up all server costs (including the PC players’ as those would be a very small % of total players if they did this) as part of a deal to have Boundless as one of the initial games when Spartacus (Game Pass equivalent - Sony’s own Game Pass, called Spartacus, coming to PS4 and PS5 in 2022 - Polygon ) starts in the spring?
I started Game Pass not too long back, it really is an incredible deal and has me planning to play some games I otherwise wouldn’t. From this - https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-game-pass-is-a-new-paradigm/1100-6498307 - Game Pass is apparently very sustainable, and also, the deals they cut with game devs who join in are all over the place. Sony is going to need to compete with a very established Game Pass now… so they are going to need lots of offerings, with a diverse array of types of games. This is why I think Sony might go for it.It is a $40 game they could offer, a free MMO of a very unique mix of genres. They could be made to understand the game has never had a true ad push and launched before many current features were in place. Covering server costs as part of the compensation a little risky maybe but not a big risk for a company like that, they really need more than anything to get things on there that might encourage people to sign up, which pitched properly Boundless could easily do.
And even if we still lose most players, I think with being on and promoted by that service, still keep enough and get enough new ones trying regularly to have us at a higher average count than we’ve ever had.

That sounds like something that would be great. Fingers crossed!

I don’t know if Sony would want a game with no current development
