I wouldn't be shocked if this game dies in 3-4 years. It's a slow death, but if someone gets popular on social media like Tiktok, or YouTube. The game can get a kick of activity like it use to.
However, gamers gonna be different than how they use to be. Instead of just finding a game, finding a community, and etc. Game size isn't an issue. The lbs, and stuff are gonna have to be
more intense because of how gamers are now a days. There is however is a roblox version of NW that gets good traction of players so I can say that the idea isn't dead.
Here are my tips on how to make the game gain popularity:
1. Good premade maps
2. Social media traction by using Tiktok, Youtube, and Twitch
3. A return to NWL/TNWL
