will this game last?
Any one have any insight to this? Costs of running the game/servers vs. profit made? When the profit will run out? When the game will have a mass die off of current active players as it grows more boring with not many challenges left?
Do you think that once the smell of death is in the air many $$ spenders will stop spending as much money as their wont be much to gain?

Re: How much longer
to be fair people have been saying it's dead or dying for probably 4+ yrs now, game is still here, admin is still (i assume) making a living, the only real challenge for him is how to get new players involved in a cost effective way now that sg-1 is not showing on TV so much. I can see it lasting 4+ more years though quite easily.

Re: How much longer
Servers are relatively cheap to maintain, we're talking a few kW and then just operational costs, which I think Jason does himself now.
With a new SG-1 app coming out...there's a possibility the world of stargate is planning on making a come back.
So I said 2-4 years. Cos I'm right.

Re: How much longer
The people playing this game have been doing it for a very long time. It's like we are stuck in a way. I've left and I have come back many times. I don't know what I would do on the internet if it wasn't for this game. ( I do know what I would do, but I do not want to be censored

I voted for 6 months before it becomes pointless to play.
Realistically? Many years, probably, due to stubborn people.
