I think Arkadia is died already, look at the official info on the forum. David dobson is not online since 2017 June which is 3 years ago. Mr. Lars posted on forum in 5 years ago , he should have left A-team long ago. According to McComik on the other forum Mathias joined Mindark 2 years ago. The only 2 are still log in and post is Dylan and Liviu( didn't post anything since April 2019 but still log in) So I doubt Arkadia is being developed anymore, I think only a couple of guys left to maintain the minimum requirement while Dobson pursuiting his crypto coin dreams in gametester.co
But why would anyone buy into his crypto coin dream given his inability to deliver on previous promises (Arkadia)? Maybe we can hope he'll find a way to leverage Gametester to drive players to and develop Ark.
it isn't as complicated as it looks like, really. arkadia - is dead gametester - a stillborn noone cares about anyways mindark - the best "partner" one can imagine in their longtime tradition of both swedish engineering and excellence too sad that all partners seem to fail over time, must be their fault!
Arkadia is dead! Long live Arkadia. one of these days the place will be sold to a new sucker, er Planet Partner and then...
I came to forum to see if there was something about the today's VU + possible Codex -> nothing? Arkadia Dead? -> Yes Edit: Dead? Not completely: http://arkadiaforum.com/threads/planet-arkadia-release-notes-17-8-0.15410/
Agree with you. Had been hoping that this pandemic might breathe some life into the game as the developers capitalized on people looking for something that might help while away the lock down hours. Was thinking that it was something that with very little effort/cost could have helped put some life back in the player base. An intern (or a niece/nephew looking for some experience/$$$) could have updated the social media and the planets home page. That simple act could have brought back "old" players to see what was new and might have brought in some new players to liven things up. Currently a new player's going to hit Arkadia's home page and see the news hasn't been updated in years and keep on going. No new income for the Devs and no new interest for the players.
