Attention: Abundant Activities has begun!
1 year ago

I just don't spend enough time on the site for it to be worth it. I check in daily to do my little tasks, but there's nothing here that makes me feel....immersed? Excited?

If Lorwolf had more features/more activity/more going for it then maybe I'd be able to focus on this place long enough to care about getting extras. But as of right now, I just don't really care outside of the 5 minutes I spend clicking on professions every morning.

Right now there's not much to recommend it, to be polite.

Even if Lorwolf started getting unrealistically large, very frequent content updates starting Tomorrow, Sharp, it still wouldn't be worth it until it was proven to the userbase that they could do it consistently for like... at least a year? But given the morale is pretty low, I think they'd have to keep that up for more than a year to convince me, personally. :P

I think offering a subscription service at all was a mistake, but doubly so as early as they did. Especially when you should be getting half of their offering for free with an adblocker. Not because of anything against Lorwolf, but it is unwise to go on our modern internet without an adblocker with all of the malware out there. You really can't trust any ad company (as in, the ones disseminating the ads) to be ethical, and a lot of websites have 0 say in the actual ads run on them. There are a handful of sites I might have whitelisted to support in a perfect world, but in ours the risk will never be worth it to me.

I've been subscribed because I have a little slush fund to spend on frivolous things and I really, really wanted this site to succeed. With a ms shard cap, getting an automatic 3ms per day is already more than your cap, and you don't have to do activities for it, so as someone who wanted to deal in moonstones it was very useful for me to more than double my daily moonstones.

I started playing LW right before I moved across the world, and in my (too long) unemployed time I've spent a lot of it on lorwolf. The site is good at keeping you here with activities, the art is so pretty, and I just really love canines. I missed the kickstarter, as I always seem to do, so I really wanted to jump in early with lorwolf and get myself established early. Get the kickstarter items before they skyrocket, have something of value to trade later. But now I know I wasted my ms. The best time to trade was when the site first launched. It has simply plummetted since then. Since I can't trade much, due to moonstones being the only currency worth anything, the site is kinda pointless to me.

I've felt my interest drop sharply the past couple weeks. The "do 10 activities" activity for a ticket usually doesn't get finished until a few hours before rollover. I had the entirety of halloween to campaign for wild wolves and spent it playing Stardew Valley instead, because at this point playing LW makes me very, very aware of how much time I'm wasting on this site. It feels like I was holding out for halloween to spend my 600 kb tokens for wild wolves, and now that not a single hunt gave me something I (or anyone else) liked, I just want to let this site go.

I'm gonna give through November for an update that actually has legitimate content. Because I'm just a fool who really wants to see lorwolf succeed. If there's no update, then I'll treat the game the same as the devs and leave.

Frankly I'm embarrassed and ashamed for having spent real money on this site at all. If I could turn off that subscriber badge, I would.

ETA: Cancelled my subscription.

I was honestly really excited about this site because it seemed a lot like FR. It doesn't need to be exactly like it, but, having another petsite with that Cool Vibe was really neat to me. I did not subscribe because I wanted to see how the game played normally. Could I earn currency just fine without it?


My big thing with free games that offer a payment tier is if I suddenly get the urge to spend money so I can get ahead, I leave, because that is a sign the game was not designed to be playable unless you spend money. When I first started, Pebbles were really slow to earn, selling wolves didn't always net money (I stopped breeding ages ago because my pups just wouldn't sell even cheaply), and moonstones, oh man. Forget about them. I created an account on launch and still only have six. To be fair there, though, I am currently returning from a long hiatus because I figured I'd give the site time to develop.


Now it seems like the pebble market has crashed and Moonstones are hard to come by still unless you pay for them, and I'm uh. I'm not going to subscribe. I *am* going to go back on hiatus, though, lol.


Sometimes these things have a rocky start. Who knows. I'll be checking back in a month or two.

I used to subscribe, but my interest in the site ran out, so I cancelled it. I'm prepared to subscribe again in the future, but right now there really isn't much here for me to do.

I was close to subscribing but then the updates on the site just stopped. I don't regret the upfront moonstones I bought when I first started, but there is no justification to buy more, let alone subscribe. I would love to have the site resurge and make it worthwhile

I was subscribed but I wasn't a fan of the referral system update so I decided to not resubcribe. If I see the site get good and consistent updates, or at the very least communication, I might subscribe again in the future but for now its not in the books.

I was subscribed. The price is negligible. I don't mind paying for games I enjoy.


I quit because of the orthus. 5 companions you can only get for referrals, after we all already did everything we could to hype this game. It was such an insult. I'm glad they backtracked and let us retroactively add one referral, I did get them all. But it soured me. How do they see us, as players?

I'm not opposed to subbing again. I need more good will, but there's been less of it. Maybe they're burnt out, that's fair I guess. One feature I'd pay to access is a lab-ray (from neopets) analogy. Let me zap a wolf and have either their colour, species, gender, or genes randomly change. With 4 colour slots and a huge colour wheel there's so many ugly wolf's. I want to roll the dice.

I may sub in the future but I don't think it's worth it in the sites current state. I've already given them quite a bit of money and to be frank I'm kind of wary to give them more with how things have been lately. I think its decent value for what you get, on par with most mobile game subscriptions, but the game is just too young and underdeveloped for it to be super beneficial right now. I'm kind of surprised they have it as an option this early on in the games life tbh.
