Player stats, sales, and reception speculation thread

I suppose even the most stubborn nay-sayer would have to admit that the game has gotten better over the last few months.

I won't question whether the game has gotten better. I do, however, question whether the game has become good.

I mean, I bought the game on sale last week, but nothing I have seen in terms of gameplay videos on youtube has given me any desire to actually play it, so now I'm debating whether I should request a refund or hope that at some point I reach the point where I actually feel a desire to play it.

Maybe, at some point, you might just have to dive in and see how you like playing it for half an hour or so. You could still get a refund after that (and if you play online speed, you can even get to the age transition within in the refund period). Maybe you hate the idea of it more than the actual game, maybe your feelings are right after all. Who could know for sure without trying, and as you already have the game, it seems to rather easy to find out.

Yesterday was the first time we got more negative to positive reviews since the November patch.
There you go lol. I can keep the thread going.

It wasn't. That happened on the 7th. You mentioned the 7th previously too. 20 positive, 5 negative so far today. 80% positive.

We're still currently having the best 30 day, 4 week & 2 week review periods at 56.5% positive, 57.4% positive & 63.6% positive respectively. The 1 week positive % has fallen from a high of 68.9% positive to 61.4% positive. Another 11,000 peak day. First time that has happened on a Tuesday since the 1.2 update back on the 22nd April - 29 weeks ago.

You have to refund within 2 weeks so you might as well start it up and try it soon. Can refund as long as you have less than 2 hours played.

Yeah, that was sort of what I planned. Just haven't had the opportunity yet.
