PoE 1 will technically still be around (servers still running ) for years to come but become less relevant with less updates over time. Pregnancy leagues will be more common (aka run for 9+ months).
Not only does PoE2 drains lots of ressources but they also lack people (project lead,devs, mentioned in a recent GGG interview (Jonathan?!)) to make PoE1 good/keep the relative good quality, which is confirmed by the fact that bunch of old OG lead devs left triple G in the recent years. So what will happen (i assume) is PoE1 will become a side project, Poe2 is the main game and both will have (different) problems mainly caused by the situation that GGG tries to keep both alive.

" That's good, PoE1 has so much content anyway Do whatever but just never close PoE1 servers Just hire more people and problem solved lol |

" That does raise an interesting question: How many people are actually on the development team, in total? In previous interviews, Jonathan had thrown around the term "over a hundred" when talking about developer staffing, and the implication was that that number was going to be increased to accommodate PoE Deuce. Are there still actually that many working at GGG? Because it sure comes across like they mebbe a few teacups short of a garden party over there. ='[.]'= =^[.]^= basic (happy/amused) cheetahmoticon: Whiskers/eye/tear-streak/nose/tear-streak/eye/

" That's what kept being reeled out when the devs started pouring out of Trion, then they sold out to Gamigo and all their games died a slow drawn out death. It's the whole reason I came to POE from Rift |

poe 1 has been done since 3.14
all downhill from there with #ad and #shill. They realized they can pay streamers and youtubers for success. and stealth nerfs we had to call ggg out for through gaslighting that they still haven't undone to this day. |

Im still skeptical about that, been hearing "GGG ded" for close to four years now. poe2 might be a good "complete" game in 2-3 years, they just have to hold it out till then.
Really sad about them hanging out poe1 to dry tho. Second-class poe gamer Last edited by pr13st#1040 on Apr 30, 2025, 4:26:12 AM

I'm still hoping that GGG will release a copy of PoE where you can play at any point in time, on your own servers, fully moddable. I would love to see what some folks could do with the game. Maybe come up with new "leagues".
I would pay a LOT of money for that. Game could go on for a long time. Just like D2. I saw Rory's post on Twitter but I don't know anything about the game he is developing yet. Censored.
