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?

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.

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.

No. Some development studio has developed an official app. See http://gateworld.net for details.

This game will last years... old players are still here... new comming... the golden era is over I bet, but we all are still here. And honestly... how many of you quit already? And did you rejoin?... I did one hour after I sold account... created new one and played again from ground...

My bet on 4+

have u ever herd about addiction????

it is a sickness....like those u u usually see ...alcohol , drugs, gamble etc....the last that is added is game addiction....its the modern form to take ppl from reality and its doing a good job.
only 5% of world population is down to earth mentality the rest are addicted to smth ..that take them good part of their brain activity......these tools are used to control humanity cuz theres no other way out unless giving up this method.

I keep saying it.

Let's all put some $, buy another game and close it - and transfer the members to SGW.

SGW - eating up other games since 2013.

lies... it's not addicting

Yesterday i wanted to quit, today i wanna mass (all that at one PPT time)

it's fine game, if you play it for fun

2-4 years.

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 )

string

I'll stay for as long as it goes, regardless.

jason should really think to make a gatewars FB game with soem grafics and not a fast game like this....many ar emaking lot of cash with those games

I voted for 6 months before it becomes pointless to play.

Realistically? Many years, probably, due to stubborn people.
