Without undermining the updates that HAVE been given to the game, I must respond to these:
>Larkinor, in fact, has received much more attention from us than it should 'deserve' based on popularity.
Popularity based on what? The 2011 active subscriber count? The lack of updates and interest is what mutilated that in the first place, so using that as an explanation doesn't sit that well with me.
Yes, Larkinor has always had a small, focused, community, but that is what the game truly thrives for; everything from the balloon to splat squares support a small, competitive gathering.
>Actually, there is some work going on even now and then, but we are lacking available resources.
I think one of the greatest assets to helping the game would not necessarily be updates, but developer participation within the community. Update logs on development, community competitions, etc, are nonexistent within the forum unless they are posted by a fellow community member using their own silvers. The last 'staff' competition, for example, was in August 2010, for a diamond shovel based on a writing sample; Veriac never posted again, and the diamond shovel was never delivered. I don't think I'm alone in stating that much of the community feels abandoned, and that some simple attention - contests, for example - will go a long way, if you feel the game doesn't deserve updates.
>Also, some volunteer, time to time, to help us translating missions, but they just vanish after.
My original offer stands; I don't speak Hungarian, but even some text bits sliced by Google Translate or something similar are an opportunity for me to assist with translation. As I understand, the Hungarian version has 10 new, untranslated missions.
My offer does not stop there; if you are lacking 'resources', please don't hesitate to request my help in any way we can. I will do it without pay if it means improving the game. I have been here years and I have no intention of leaving. (Also, I'm a bored student not enrolling in College until next year, so I have lots of free time.)
