Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see more players, but I can easily see Softnyx ignoring our petition.
Softnyx right now is able to squeeze out a lot of profit from hardcore Rakion players. Even though there aren't many of these players, the amount these players spend is satisfying enough. It's the 80/20 rule working wonders for Softnyx, where they can rely solely on 20% of their gamers to make bundles of cash.
Until Softnyx starts to lose these high spending players - which isn't going to happen anytime soon due to the actual increase in these playas - Softnyx will continue to rely on viral marketing. If you are wondering how I knew about this fact, some players and I put together a timeline of all things Rakion and we can conclude from Softnyx's apparent business plan that for every new generation of Rakion players, satisfaction for cash items/events grow.
Thus, for a company like Softnyx that focuses more on generating profits than making a fun game for everyone to play, it would be a fault for them to try to find more players that probably won't spend much money on their game.
Softnyx will fail because they focus on the short-term (making profit), then retaining loyal players who may not spend as much but which, in the long-term, will hold greater benefits for everybody.
