Basically this. And I think I already said that vanilla MP is worse than installing the Epic Games LauncherWithout Taleworld supporting the multiplayer, it will die. Without updates and patches people will leave and stop paying attention. Someone could make the best mod in the universe for multiplayer and most players wouldnt know about it, because they either dont look at forums or stop paying attention to the game in general. How many games do you pay attention to once you've stopped playing it?
People saying mods will save the multiplayer are wrong. It just keeps us alive for a while longer.
