And as much as I agree with many of your points, if you truly loved playing haypi for what it is, updates would not determine the potential future of your gaming. Now yes, people grow older and people move on--that's the way things go; that part in itself is inevitable. With that fact in mind though, it seems silly that you called it out of date. From what I gathered, the general description of your definition of "out of date" is merely a phrase you use to tell people that its not what you use to love. Now that's completely understandable--especially because we agreed on people moving on from things in life. So correct me if I'm wrong, but, this opinion of your's, like the first post in this thread, is also opinionated.
I myself have played Haypi for a considerable amount of time, two years+ I believe. So I think it's fair for me to say I really like Haypi as a game. So why would I, someone who invested so much time and really enjoys the game quit? Well that's a boring story and subjective to my experience.
GENERALIZATION TIME
You can decide if you agree with this and of course prove me wrong.
Updates DO determine the future of playing for a majority of players. If you can play a game that came out in 2010 CONSECUTIVELY for three years with no major updates and without even an itch of boredom, I applaud you. I just can't wrap my head around that and I think that goes for a lot of other players as well. If Haypi took the top 30 most requested, most popular suggestions I would tell Thomas "Yeah man, you've made your contribution to the world enjoy your ride to Valhalla". I don't think there are enough adjectives to describe how happy the community, myself included, would be. Haypi Kingdom would enjoy a boost of activity from the veterans returning and the regulars getting a boost in interest and drive to play.
Lets make an example. Say someone gets bored with Haypi and leaves. Now this player isn't quiting, he is just bored and wants a break. Then suddenly, BAM, an update rolls out with new features and bug fixes that improve the game tremendously. The player who got bored and left now has reason to start playing again. Now if that player returns and there has been no update, then his feeling of boredom will return much quicker and will eventually come to a time where he has no desire to return.
The inevitable can be delayed. Haypi was in its prime maybe 1 and a half years ago, where servers where being made several times a week. If Haypi updated during and after its prime Haypi Kingdom would still have a large player base that would dwindle down only because of time, not because of lack of support.
Now, again, I am just rambling, so don't take my posts as 100% accurate. Oh and I spent a good thirty minutes typing a response only to have my session time out, making me retype my thoughts, so sorry if there are some unfinished ideas. Those might be fixed (no they wont).
To address my use of out of date. I guess I should have used a different word, but I still think I got my point "No updates for three years hurts Haypi as a game" across pretty well in my original post. Take these posts with a grain of salt, I am usually trying to tie in with the bigger picture, but I think I utterly fail most of the time.
