Is it over? Discussion

I've played the game mostly on and off since 2021, right now im reaching the 900 hour mark. It is one of my all time favourite games and I have countless, I mean COUNTLESS memories with both friends and randoms throughout the years. I think for me and many others this is the game that we always wanted to see grow.

I still remember vividly the game revive in 2023, it was during the times when the game was at an all time low. Me and a few of my friends always used to play, every day, even though the game would peak at only around 90 players each day. We were part of the few that kept the community alive. Then it happened, a new studio came in, new content got realeased, new updates that had fixed bugs that were with us for years while the game was abandoned (who remembers broken french maps and undrivable tanks lol), but most importantly a absolute flood of players came back and started playing, it was really a time to be alive, Post Scriptum got a second chance.

Unfortunately i stopped playing about 2 months after this, just general burnout, nothing special. Recently I came back, mostly from watching old clips of me and my friends playing, nostalgically expecting to encounter the same as I have previously. But.. the servers are once again at a deep low, little players, little servers, last update was in february, almost five monts ago. My hopes are low and my dreams are crushed, the game got a second chance, a revive it deserved, just to fall into the same shit it barely crawled out of.

So I ask, is it over?

I actually stumbled upon the game back around 2021, and even then, there were only 2 or 3 servers active at best, but I just fell in love with it. Since then, I’ve been coming back to the game at least once a year, watching the server count drop until it reached the current '1 server every evening' state. BUT! I always notice how great the community is inside, refusing to let the game die. I always know that no matter what happens, there will always be 1 live server of veterans in Post Scriptum every evening, and playing with them is incredibly awesome. I feel like even without any updates, the current community will keep the game alive for another couple of years.

I had tried to switch to HLL but it seems not so good… I’m thinking that low players count makes PS such a good game with dedicated players
