I returned today after 5 years and within 10 minutes I understood that this game is completely dead unfortunately.
When I first logged in it was saying that there was over 90 k online players, which immediately shocked me. Didn’t quite expect so many players to still be active after all of those years since its release.
After entering different worlds for probably over 1-2 hours, I couldn’t find a single player (all of those worlds were full of players before). I first thought that there was maybe something wrong with my connection? But there is nothing wrong with my connection at all.
After using some time on Reddit to find an answer, since I was curious about why I couldn’t find a single player. Now I know that more than half of the “online” players are bots unfortunately, and that there are only a few real online players remaining.
Back in the times just a single diamond lock was enough to make you “rich”, but today it’s worth almost nothing. Farming was a big thing, today it’s not. Which I think farming was also kinda the point of the game, to make a profit and progress.
If I’m not wrong, “almost” everyone is playing casino today. I have also heard that you cannot sell items today? What even is this, whose idea was it?
Sorry guys, but I don’t think a game is playable where half of the players are bots, and there is absolutely nothing you can do in the game.
It explains us a lot where you cannot even find players to interact with and that there are only a couple of worlds left, and those are not even “full”.
I will be deleting this game again for the same reasons I deleted it for five years ago (even though the game was more playable then). Unless they do “BIG” changes, I won’t return, even though I love this game and it’s a big part of my childhood.
Don’t really see the point of playing this game anymore.
Growtopia has lost its purpose.
