I’m that person that is in the middle here. On one hand, I love Boundless. I want Boundless to be successful. I desperately want to pour my heart and soul into this game by continuing into the 4000+ hours range, building a website that consolidates BUTT and Boundlexx into one while being really quick and easy to use and by writing mining guides for this forum while maintaining sovereigns of each gem type.
That said, Monumental has made it REALLY hard to be passionate about the game. It’s just:
“There is nothing new to report”
“We are still transferring the game over”
“We are committed to Boundless and keeping it alive”
Over and over again with no end in sight. No roadmap. No plan. No rough, finger-to-the-wind date or expectation on when we might possibly see development resume. It’s equal parts frustrating and disheartening. I don’t blame those like @SWProzee1 and @Turrican2006 who have moved on. I want to as well but, as I said, I’m kinda stuck in limbo here.
I’ve said this before and I will stand by it:
Boundless has the potential to be bigger than Minecraft. I know why Monumental sought it out and bought it. It has a better foundation and better upside than Minecraft and it has a certain “charm” that Minecraft can’t come close to. It simply needs a big marketing push and some QoL updates (with many of those centered around the player onboarding/leveling/tutorial experience).
No one really does I guess.
I left before too (and came back).
But all the “I’m not giving you any of my money anymore, you monumental thieves” does come across as a bit childish and pretentious.
I am disappointed with Monumental lack of transparency. For sure.
So what? I’d rather keep playing, GC or not, if that’s the last thing that helps keep the servers going. If existing of something I love doing is up to me, I say yes.
no on is whinning from what i see i see players voicing there diapoitant with the siuation but you can call it whinnign since you dont have anything construtive to add to the convosation good shamming though
Yeah, I agree that that sounds really childish and pretentious BUT nobody ever made that statement !!!
Want to quote people, fine, but please do it correctly.
Also:
‘moved on’ ?
So far @Turrican2006 and myself stated not to support Monumental anymore.
For me that means that I will not renew all my Sov. Worlds and that I won’t make more videos on Boundless.
