Thing is, and I'm not criticising, you guys missed a big opportunity here. Sure, season 2 might be awesome and all as you put it, but it's a small community, we already read what you said. What about the people that don't play the game or even heard of it at all?
You missed the opportunity of creating HYPE. And no, you don't create hype by having the voice of the dev team give hints to the internal forum of the community. We already know the wipe is coming, at least all the people that stop by even once a week or a month.
But anyone who even enjoyed Fallout 1 or 2 and has no idea this exists might never will if not for the players sharing it from time to time. Not to put any pressure, but hell, you can try having a social media page to try and expand. Have an official youtube where you could have posted mini "Update" videos before wipe.
Things like that just generate hype and will make releasing it so much more interesting than it would be if you released it tomorrow.
Let's be honest, if you release it tomorrow, all the people that once played or continues to play Reloaded will be back, and new people will come slowly with time.
Having generated hype, it would have been mostly new people and some veterans.
Just some suggestions, nothing else. I know you guys are really bussy with all the work and I personally am still waiting for the new season with high hopes.
Good luck.
