How long will 2.5 last

[wreak]

I know it's way too early to even say this considering the game hasn't even came out yet. But I still wonder how long will people play pb2.5 before it gets inactive or completely dies.

Based on what eric is posting on twitter, general hype and being another pb2 project. It may not last as long as the original pb2 for certain reasons which I will not get into atm. I will admit it looks like a really good game though.

The current fan base who has stuck around since PB2's release will not last long on the game, I believe. We're all getting a bit too old for this.

However, a new fan base will take our place, and it may last about as long as PB2 has. This'll happen if the game is awesome and they remain loyal

Ok probably 10 years... or 15... im not sure... (JOKE MODE OFF) ok, this is gonna be an huge update, multiplayer needs to get out of beta state, then we need to wait, and once PB 2.5 comes out we will all come to the website and test it, if its bad, WE GO TO ERIC'S HOUSE AND WE KILL HIM! AND WE DRINK HE'S BLOOD, WE MAKE A HELMET WITH HIS HEAD AND WE DANCE IN HIS TOMB!!!!!!!

depends on how much money will eric put into the advertising

If the hitreg was fixed probably a little bit longer than pb2
If there are new trigger features implemented... Probably even further if map makers become more creative.

It could go either way. As a browser release, I doubt it will last as long as PB2 has, but only due to events beyond our control. Flash itself is dying, and online browser based gaming isn't exactly a great sector as smartphones have taken over most of the "lunchbreak gamer" crowd.

On the other hand, I think it'll do pretty well compared to other games released at the same time it comes out, and if PB2.5 has a Steam release, or sponsorship by much larger and more capable sites than Coolbuddy, it has the potential to go much further than PB2 did.

Honestly, I don't expect a lot of old players to return for the release of PB2.5, however, I do expect there to be a surge of new players, if the game can be advertised properly. The existing community around PB2, or whatever is left of it, is really waiting for PB2.5 to be released as they have been kept satisfied with the updates being made to PB2 itself. As you said, it's too early to tell, but I think it will perform fine for a while.

So far we have gotten 7 long years of eternal fun. The fanbase is still here. I believe the PB2 fanbase will last around 9 years, considering peoples' growth.
