The update was announced December of 2020. I’m willing to wait until the end of 2023. Three years that I could be doing other things is quite a lot of patience.
I stopped waiting just a few months in. Yes, I was hopeful a lot longer than that, but not waiting.

I don’t expect anything to be honest, I’m sure there won’t be any more updates (hopefully I’m wrong) and the only news that will come is not good. I’m on the Boundless forum out of curiosity and to see if a miracle has happened.
I’m also waiting for Hytale although in my case I expect it for consoles, so it will take a long time to see that. Currently I only play Genshin Impact or No Man’s Sky and some other story games.

I am looking forward to many games but I just don’t think they will fill the niche that Boundless has for me. I am hopeful some game comes along and I am sure it will and while I look forward to Hytale it won’t be the game to “dethrone” or fill that niche Boundless has for me.
I also think there are the same 30-40 players in Boundless I’d venture a guess more around 150-200ish players as peak players for PC hover between 75-100.

I suppose it would be possible to make me forget about Boundless if a new game managed to beat it in the aspects that I think it dominates the field. It’s all visuals and capacity for unique works, plus the fact that it’s a public online game. Any additional feature is 50/50 on helping/hurting its score for me.
If it has fantasy and magic- forget it… that rules out just about every other game in existence.
I’d need a game with more shapes and some extremely impressive textures and lighting, then some kinds of activities to keep completed builds interesting. Most other features are fluff where I’m concerned and fail to sell me on those games.
The number of concurrent PC players is low (30-100+/-). The number of monthly active PC players is around 579. I have no data from Playstation.
This would be correct currently back up to a 50 average. I stated that I’d venture there are more around 75-150 peak PC players when its actually 123. With PS players I still would venture to guess its at last twice that much give or take pushing the base around 150-200ish. Could be as high as 250-300 depending on the actual PS numbers. Seems there are lot more PS players lately.

Hope getting more Players into the Game in the future.
I’m waiting for nightingale to come out before I bounce unless updates start back up before this beautiful game gets released. https://youtu.be/wVzai6zZM6A
I keep following this forum on a weekly basis to see if there is any new information coming, as I really enjoyed playing this game. However, as I have been playing Minecraft for quite a while now, I don’t really see how I could come back anyway. This game has some really nice things, but compared to Minecraft it really is lacking a lot. Chiseling is like the only thing I really wish I had in MC.
And the problem is the more I play on my MC world, the less chance it is for me to swap away from it as more and more time is put into it.
I also find the lack of communication very worrysome. This is supposed to be a professional company and there are paying customers here, yet that is just completely ignored. The customer service here is worse than in World of Warcraft - and it’s dogsh1t there. Now if this project was to get back on track again, nothing says they won’t go on a hiatus again and another 2-3 years of silence.
So as what goes for waiting time for updates, idc. I want answers, whether it is worth coming back or not.

Thing is, I’m more and more convinced that they simply moved on and are not talking to us to keep us hoping, to avoid all of those who are still hoping for more updates to leave in mass. I’m expecting that if they spoke to us, they’d likely have to admit that there has been no progress on Update 249 at all. All that makes sense to me is that they’re using the money made from Sovereign world creations and world fuel sales to pay for maintenance updates, the bug fixes and such, but they don’t make enough money from that to keep people working on 249 proper.
I mean, if someone has a better guess, go ahead.
For example, @Leahlemoncakes is now Cinematic Animation Producer at Larian Studios (and I mean, congratulations to her, that’s a nice promotion). I’m sure it’s similar for all of those who worked on Boundless. They’re all busy with new objectives, new occupations, new responsabilities.
They may not all still be at Larian Guildford, I don’t know, but hey, if James managed to get a job at Larian for most of them, I guess it’s at least nice for them. They sure seem to be looking to expand, though.
I don’t know.
Pretty sure it sucks for us, tho.

Without more evidence either way, this just feels like where we’re at to me too.
That being said, I’d definitely recommend that nobody waits for the update. While there are some nice things in it, I don’t think it’s going to make a big enough difference to change the way we actually play or enjoy the game. Either we enjoy it as is and continue to play, or maybe we just want to dip in and out now and again (or even just check in on the forums every once in a while to see how things are doing).
I think the only thing that’s really a big deal in 249 update is the ability for players to host planets themselves, because that really changes the prospects for Boundless’ future. It means that even if Boundless Official servers go away at some point, we’ll still be able to carry on playing. From that sense, there’s little point for me in playing again until 249 hits, because it’s not like we’ll be able to transfer between Official and unofficial anyway.

These statements seem contradictory. Unless I am missing the point

Players who don’t have fun now won’t most likely have fun after next update

Agreed. But I think he meant the second statement with a far different time-table in mind. If Hytale ends-up being what I hope/think it will be, I’m gonna be on it for many many years.
But it’s true, every game, every activity, is bound to stop being fun after a various amount of time, which depends on many things.
That holds true for me. The main things I was hoping from Boundless’ future updates were more furniture items. That’s what I would need to bring my builds to the next level. I’ve never been satisfied with ‘furniture made out of blocks’, like how people make beds with sand blocks and such. Not my thing. Never was, never will.
The melee weapons or the skillset changes would not be enough to sate my hunger.

what i was hoping for was also something like furniture art stuff we can make but also sell i wish we had stuff selfmade to sell to others
i sugested it to the dev’s but they just put your name under forged weapons and crossed the checkmark on the sugestion 
kinda like you told you wonna do on that other game i wanted here
thats why i came up with the micro cubes chisel
imagine a chisel to really dig into a single block chopping out minicubes then saving it as an item
