There's been a disappointing amount of silence about the status of the game for awhile now. For many, including those that have been playing for 20+ years, theres an overwhelming sense that we're in a death spiral. And no one cares.

Every TEC administration has had it's struggles with communication, but it seems like we're further into apathy then ever before. This forum is a great example-- half the time it doesn't even load. Posts from the owner are bi-monthly other than to chime in about those mean, griefing bandits. 

We spin up with plans than then don't happen. We get excited by the planned events that fizzle. It just feels different this time.

We shouldn't have to beg the one taking subscription fees for insight. Be real with us, we're obviously all adults here and already given way too much of our lives to TEC. Manage our expectations. Shoot us straight for once. Give us a meaningful update. Where are we?

So is TEC dead?
