On the player feedback I am sure it is a good idea to get it. But use it as inspiration and maybe some kind of guideline but never give in to pressure or give up your view on where you want things to go. The problem is that we players probably don’t know that much about what makes us play a game and what makes us stick around.

That being said, devs do sometimes overlook things. My suggestion would be longer testing periods, and probably less complicated games. And most importantly NEVER try to reinvent your game after it’s released. The more changes you make, the more you will alienate the people that were pleased with what you originally gave them. Have massive changes ever really resulted in a large subscriber increase? I find it pretty doubtful, myself.

Regarding game admins listening to players, to me it seems very similar to the concept of ‘innovation drives’ that you see in corporations. The basic idea is that usually decisions are made at the top and roll down. Lower-level workers will have loads of ideas about how things could be better or different. Many of the ideas will range from impractical to ridiculous, but a few will be really insightful and promising.

So should game admins listen to players? Of course, maybe, sometimes ;).

Glad to know the muckbeast still has a pulse.

“We demand player housing!”

“We demand space rockets in this game!”

you get me.
