As you all noticed, The Exiled did not live up to the expectations we had for it, leading to a very small players base and little player interaction. Our efforts during the last months did not have a significant impact on this. Survival Mode was interesting but not good enough. So here is what has to happen: 1. We decided to remove the three-hour-time-window we introduced with Survival Mode. This did not lead to more engaging play sessions and it prevented you from playing - so it had to go. 2. We are extending the free trial to an unlimited duration for everybody. That means that you can play The Exiled for free as long as you want without having to pay for it - as long as you do not want the goodies in our Supporter Packs like multiple character slots or extra skins. 3. We will go back to the drawing board with our plans to re-set the game. Expect smaller bug fixes from us in the coming seasons but no major changes. We are still supporting the game, keeping the servers running and answering your support tickets but as long as we have no convincing plan for the future of the game we will not make any further major changes to it. Yes, we have read multiple suggestions to "just get a publisher", to "just spend some money on marketing" or "just make the game free-to-play". We can assure you that if there was a "silver bullet" to make the game work out then we'd go that route in an instant. We have spent the last four years of our lives living and breathing The Exiled and we are fully aware of the options we have. Thank you for supporting The Exiled so far - do not hesitate to share your feedback with us! We'll keep you posted. Sincerely, Alex and Sebi Your The Exiled team
