i’m kind of curious how current players are feeling about this

i think the wait list for apps is a good idea. but I think it’s a bad idea to place the burden of invites on players when there’s been an intense amount of interest in this game.

they could have accomplished the same thing just by having a wait list.

from what i've seen on the plurk linked there is a lot of positive reaction?? although it's just a select few atm so the current playerbase might not have seen it yet. i still think the mods could have either raised the player cap or done a wait list like what you mentioned. either one could have worked better than making the game player invite only. especially when the mods are aware that many people want to join

nfn but i don't think a lot of people are going to be overly neg in a game plurk where they know their opinion won't change the mods' decision.

yeah, especially with anon mods when you don't know if you're not potentially having a go at a friend, people tend to be much more sedate in their responses to official plurks unless they're responding to something egregious.

Hate it. Now it'll become friend clique central.

i too hate it when people /checks notes/ have friends they enjoy playing with

there's nothing wrong with playing with your friends*

* so long as it's something i also enjoy playing and your friends are not people i don't like and/or neckbeards

It isn't what I would've done, or perhaps not how I would've done it, but given the amount of interest and work the game needs, I understand it. I think the six month mark and the tightening AC constraints will open more slots soon, and being active on the TDM will become a more tenable way to get an invite.

It's a good sign the mods are taking into account the potential longevity of the game, and that's a good thing at the end of the day.

it sounds as though they've had issues with people joining the game just to join it and squatting or doing the minimal amount to stay in, so anything that makes that less likely is good for the game overall.

i'm willing to wait and see how it works in action. i think they're probably trying to cut down on getting a really long wait list by putting in an extra step to get on there.

Love it. It’s pretty clear that they don’t want to be the next big public game and that’s fine. Someone else can open a sex game and relish in the popularity.
