    Apparently, there was some discussion about decay on the livestream today but I missed it. Can anyone tell me what was said?

    They said they are planning on removing it for R59 but replacing it with something else.

    It'll probably be ultimately worse.

    I am sure it will be an equally painful replacement :)

    Honestly, I don't mind either way. I hardly ever die. I actually trust Chris more than ever.

    I would rather it be xp decay that anymore hits to durability though. Gear is painful enough to obtain/maintain as it is if you adventure any.

    Yeah, now whenever you die, you are flagged Open PvP for +10 minutes each time.

    Now when you die your credit card is charged $39.99, it's bank account decay!

    They just gave us more gold in loots, they'll find some wording to take it back. ;)

    Yeah I found the comment about removing decay and replacing it with "something else that will achieve the same thing" VERY ominous.
    Because decay wasn't really achieving anything....so I'm curious if we're talking a "replacement punishment" that could potentially be worse? Or a whole new way to try and limit player growth?

    And imagine if it's caps?;) Many have been asking for at least some of this. What ever it is I hope it has an interesting twist to it maybe with reasons to choose and be prepared. Decay was so abrasive. It really got to some good people so much as to being one reason they left. We can take some abuse but interesting choices imo are always easier to take. Decay was just forced onto us one day and then long discussions for and against it forever and here we are. So here's hoping for the perfect solution. Go Chris Go! ;)

    Decay causes the player population to decrease dramatically. Since decay was implemented the active SOTA population has decreased and decay has been very effective at achieving this goal.

    So what new feature, replacing decay, will cause more people to leave?
