It is that that actually concerns me the most. No one inside seems to be at the wheel, and no one outside can simply take over. Without an update from those who currently have the keys, Decal is indeed dead.



Unfortunately with Asheron's Call in critical condition and not too far behind it.

Here's the litmus test...


Open your minds...


Now everytime you click the "UPDATE" button on decal, you are charged $1.00.


In this theorectical, you had better bet your ass AND your farm that Decal would have been updated within the hour of the patch being completed--not only this time but everytime.


That said, it IS free. I have no problem for it taking an hour, a day, a week. Whatever.


My problem is the lack of communication from the "team". No one can take 1 minute to post and say blah, blah, blah and it will be done at so and so time? This is just flat out rude.


And I do think, that if no one from the team plays, pass on the code to someone who does, or let them in to help. It is that simple.

I'm not even going to try to figure out how it's "rude" for an unpaid development team to not make a post within 48 hours of a rushed through patch.


However, If X is posted once AND nochange is posted thereafter THEN one may assume that a stance remains the same...


From the Decal Development Team:


"We’re not paid to work on Decal, and most of us have jobs of our own. As such, we can’t give a guaranteed timeframe as to when we’ll be ready."


If I handed out candy for free and people started demanding that I do so in their timeframe, I might be tempted to put away the candy and bolt the door.


Many of us can and do play with or without Decal. But My thanks to the devs for what they do.

I'm surprised it's lasted this long. I can see the day when decal isn't around and just a few hardcore players play on a few servers.

If you can't figure out how it is rude when the "norm" is having it done in hours as opposed to days, and the Devs saying nothing about it, I can't help you.


The decal devs KNOW that some players need for decal to work in order to get the most out of the game for them. They know that those players are waiting. And they say nothing when the "norm" doesn't happen.


The fact that it is free, means nothing. Until they say, Decal is no more, it is implied (from 80 or so previous patches), that it will be up in a few hours. Yes there have a been a few patches where it has taken longer, but, they have always posted something to let us know what's up. Unless I have missed it, I don't see that post this time.
