>>41181230I dunno why Season 4 ever happened because it was obvious by the end of Season 3 that either nothing new was happening OR good ideas were wasted due to lack of people - at least with Season 4 it was announced that it'll be the last one.
IIRC current pseudo-season happened only because Luna tried out several 3D farming / crafting games but eventually asked management to launch RUST server because hime really wanted to grow some pumpkins. Kanata also plays it because she always supports Luna plus she's also RUST autist. And Kaela really tried to play RUST like MC but every season it didn't work well and she just keep going back to MC instead. I also remember Anya saying "man, it's too bad RUST is over, but then Luna brought it back, maybe I should play it again" only for her to not play it (I think she played only once during this pseudo-season?)
Season 1 was great because everyone was new to it, nobody tried to minmax and people just did random stuff, from gambling to fishing to doing raids.
Season 2 was great because people actually started to make well-designed bases (like Polka's Cave or Pekora's Water Fortress) and started investing in research table, which eventually led to a lot of fun PvP and raids.
Season 3 was bad because map was garbage, like half of holomems stopped playing and almost every raid was bugged out and had no enemy NPCs. Plus new rule on "don't make too powerful bases" clearly killed Pekora's interest in playing RUST further - she even let her huge tall walls around her desert base deteriorate.
Season 4 was dead because, again, only like 6-7 people were playing (even with good map and non-bugged raids), so depending on holomem schedule they could easily play all alone for entire stream, and where the fun in that?
