Haven't been impressed with it either. The beta -> release was way too short. There's too much drama. The staff is a bit annoying at times. Glad .net didn't merge with that hot mess.

Drama is basically a feature of Dodian, it's famous for its drama
But yeah, .com might be a bit too ambitious for how much time has gone into it, how quickly it was put out, and how few people are actually working on it.
I also offered to put in some help to get things progressing a bit faster, but Plasma never took me up on the offer for whatever reason. So I guess that's that.
Now, I don't know what happens at all on .com, was nothing for me there so I left it and stopped paying attention to it.

It's a lot of work to pump out enough well planned content that actually retains players. Also most players are only hooked on the idea of the nostalgic feeling, and that won't last long.

.com lasted all of 2 months and that's being nice. The owner abandoned it 3 weeks in. Arch has been picking up the pieces since then and it held atleast 15 players until around 2 months.
The players didn't gradually stop playing because the hype of the nostalgic feeling faded away... it was because of the management style of Plasma...or lack thereof.

Why throw away .net?s reputation of being a stable dodian community?
Why throw away a community driven, open source project in favor of a closed source, premium membership model.
Don?t get me wrong, I?m just as excited as anyone that the original Uber 3.0 data will be available soon, but I like what we have here too

I understand your concerns, and it's clear that you value the existing .net community and the open-source model. Decisions about domain ownership, project direction, and community involvement can be complex and depend on various factors, including the goals and preferences of those leading the projects.

Can you further elaborate on that?

It's encouraging to see efforts being made to strengthen the Dodian community.

It sounds like there?s a lot of mixed feelings about how Dodian.com has developed, especially given the quick transition from beta to release. Rushing a project can often lead to issues, and it seems like the ambition behind .com may have outpaced the available resources and time, leading to some dissatisfaction within the community. Drama is something that seems to follow any big project, especially one that?s community-driven like Dodian, but it?s understandable that too much of it can become frustrating.
It's disappointing to hear that your offer to help wasn?t taken up, especially when a fresh perspective and extra hands could have made a difference in moving things forward. Sometimes, it?s hard to understand why certain decisions are made, particularly when there?s a clear need for additional support. Walking away from something that isn?t meeting your expectations is a tough call, but sometimes it?s the best move for your own peace of mind.
Hopefully, the team behind Dodian.com can learn from the feedback they?re receiving and make improvements that address these concerns. A project like this has the potential to be great, but it requires careful planning, enough time, and a collaborative effort from everyone involved.

I think the owner of .com would have to sell at this point. All trust is lost. The server hasn't even been online in 2024 iirc. No transparency or updates to the community in 2024.
If .com's server were to go up today with the same owner, it would be hard to see it be successful. There's been too many burned bridges in this small community imo.

I lost trust in Plasma some time ago. From what I've heard, he invested a fair amount into .com, so I doubt he'll sell it. Why he won't at least make a post or some type of update makes it seem like he's just letting it fade away.
I have more confidence in Dodian.net and would prefer to focus my efforts there. With the IO being revamped, I'm hoping maybe we will pick up some more users
