The MMORPG The Black Death is in crisis. The few players on the server have led the developers to rethink their strategy and now they have released a major update.
With the update The Long Knight, the developer studio Syrin Studios aims to herald a turning point for the MMORPG The Black Death. So far, the game has not been particularly well received. Only a handful of players were online at the same time via Steam. Many buyers believe that the developers released the Early Access version too early. However, with the major update, this is supposed to change.
Day and Night and many other innovations
The Long Night introduces a day and night cycle, which also impacts the gameplay. Each day that a player spends in the dark, plague-ridden medieval world brings bonuses and gold.
Additionally, you can craft torches and light campfires, which especially benefits you at night when enemies are nearby. Furthermore, the game’s performance has been optimized, and it is now possible to start Dedicated Servers. There are also further changes to loot, respawning, the combat system, crafting, and skills.
Overall, a lot of revisions and improvements are on their way to The Black, making The Long Night the biggest update yet for the MMORPG. The release of the update has led to a doubling of player numbers. However, this only means that instead of around 30 players, currently about 65 are online at peak times according to Steamcharts.
Players are still disappointed
The update has had little impact on players’ previous opinions about the MMO. Although many have given the game another chance, they still do not seem very enthusiastic.
The update is just a drop in the bucket. Server issues, crashes, and a reset of housing are just a few of the problems currently frustrating players. The developer studio still has a long way to go to make The Black Death a good game. Let’s hope that the fans can hold on for as long…
