I have been sending out my explorers as a dutiful and
member. This does not take a lot of time but its is also not the most exhilarating experience I have ever had.
Currently I am ranked nr 61 but to be honest I have no clue how many people are actually playing. There is a top 100 ranking but not much else on how you are doing overall. There are some of the bigger accounts that are indeed taking a jump on others. If that will have a detrimental effect on playing I do not know. There was the bunker poll 4 weeks ago but since then nothing much of official updates from the account.
seems to be still giving out his tips which are useful though. (maybe a resteem of those on the main account?)
It would be nice to find out a bit more on how players will be able to earn some of that sweet Steem loot and how the wonders will be built...
I did find some useful websites that cater to just the kind of information that seems to be missing from the main site and game. Just thinking that if others can do this it should not be so hard to at least integrate a minimum of stats in the main page?

But the bright light is that this is still early days. We are playing a game that is totally new and the blockchain aspect gives this whole thing a totally new dimension. So I for one am patient and am looking to see where all this is headed.
Another piece of better news is that I have now discovered my 3rd planet with only 58 explorations. There are some like that had to wait over 100 to get one
The game seems to be still running and there is a steady trickle of new players coming in but I would dare to say that some new development is needed to put the spark back...
would you agree or do you not play?
