Is Settlers of Elyria a failure?

Honestly this has kind of surprised me. Is this a failure or are the masses just waiting to buy later?

My ignore list finally has one occupant after 12 years. I am the strongest supporter of free speech on here, but free speech does not mean forced listening. Have fun my friend. Hope you find a new stalking target.

....of course, they actually like, sold stuff that gave people things to do at home, unlike Chronicles of Elyria which can only (very) generously be called an investment since a product doesn't exist yet in any actual form, and that's not something that's going to sell well during a pandemic.
If not the warnings by the "aristocracy" threatening to punish random buyers who purchase within their borders without first getting permission might also have had a dampening effect.
The lack of discernable progress is probably dampening the enthusiasm of even some of the more faithful even if they won't openly say so for risk of jeopardizing their investment or shattering their dreams.

But I do agree, that if any company was going to have an uptick, it would need to be a company with an actual product to give their players.

Unless you are so eager to get it because you are almost out of toilet paper. In that case I understand.
His State of Elyria is just a hype tool to get the gullible to spend money.

In all seriousness, this is a flashing red danger signal for the project.

No state of Elyria, another failed Settlers of Elyria where many are reporting serious issues and even calling for old maps back....and Caspian has to wonder how anyone will give him one penny once the KSV is up...you can expect plenty of new stretch goals and new items in the cash shop.

Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.
Why, my good sir, not only is SoE a failure, but the entire project is.
Doesn’t matter tho. They still haven’t shown any reliable networking, nor database in action - not even in a web environment - and without that, quite frankly, there’s a zilch opportunity for a MMO here.
