short answer: it's been dead for years and the developer put it on life support rather than addressing its numerous core issues, it's just that trading bots and degenerates have been inflating player numbers and trying to keep the marketplace stable for personal gains.

Played a disgusting amount of Unturned back in the day and I can honestly attest to the RP servers being a large part of the downfall for Unturned as well. Largest part of responsibility falls for sure on the donor kit servers starting to get more and more popular but it was also the RP servers that were taking player base out of the proper servers. I miss semi-vanilla servers quite a bit, a simple kit or two with very basic gear and tpa access. It gave servers a slight bias towards pvp without tipping the scales too far into the madness, just enough to keep things active and competitive.

[@SwordyRBLX]

funny enough theres only currently 3-5 rp servers i know of that have above 10 to 80 players. (i have 2000+ hours on rp LMFAO)

[@zachgaines8349]

Last time I played was about a year ago and I could scroll through the server list and find less than 10 "vanilla" unturned servers while everything else has kits and vaults and TPA and all the stuff that completely negates the survival aspect of the game and turns it into a sort of BR game.

I remember that too, I haven’t played the game for years but I used to run a small private server with friends in unturned 2.0 and 3.0. I remember trying to get back into the game after a long break and I couldn’t find any populated vanilla servers which pretty much killed my desire to play the game on public servers

[@RoshGG]

No new maps with proper Lore, all new maps are curated maps centered on PvP ... Miss the old days of descovering what happend with this virus, how every country or state reacted to the outbreak. I thing that the map making community should start focusing on LORE much more.

[@dudukill1007]

There is new maps Buak,Polaris,Esclation

[@imRevenjo]

I agree, most of Unturned's Lore is still not fully known/complete, was really hoping for new maps to cover lore or more survival aspected maps.

[@VipGamesFPA]

It's the lack of game creator and his puppets lack of IQ, not new maps or lore. Lore is marginally appriciated in the community anyway, new maps are half good half bad - but management of the game and how it is ''sold for free'' to those curated content creators with no idea how to provide good content - it makes situation bad.

[@neisvestno2444]

​@@dudukill1007 all of them curated bruh.

[@noobplaye1218]

I quit because the new curated maps are so PVP Focused, the only maps i enjoyed would be Kuwait, Arid and the european town thing? They were unique, but in the end, its like a hotel. They had something new or unique, but in the end, it doesn't feel new or better. The zombies felt repetitive, there was little to no challenge at all and you didn't have the same feeling of the threat of death in games like Project Zomboid

[@zman1064]

Escalation is the best map we've gotten in a while, but at the same time, I wish Nelson would drop official updates and maps like he used to do back in the day. I also saw someone comment about how Unturned's lore was a more critical part of the game and how they miss "discovering what happened with this virus, how every country or state reacted to the outbreak." I agree; after Elver came out, Unturned got a lot more fantasy stories and maps. That's not a bad thing at all, and I like it, but I can see how it became too much of a departure from what Unturned was initially for some people. If Nelson tried, he could revive his franchise, but honestly, he doesn't have an incentive to do so. He makes enough money. I think the announcement of Unturned 4.0 killed this game; everyone left the community because they were waiting for Nelson's new game, which would eventually be postponed indefinitely.

[@inf3rnis984]

@@zman1064 no way the goat commented

[@inf3rnis984]

@@zman1064 I completely agree, a lot of the curated maps feel detached from the lore which nelson set out regarding the outbreak but also I feel that official support to the multiplayer such as dedicated official servers with no plugins and a complete redesign of the server browser would greatly help as in my 200 something hours I only just found out about how to sort by descending player sizes something which would definitely be hard for new players

For anyone here for information about why the game is dying and not boring information about it's mechanics: Starting from 2022 Nelson (dev) starting to make a lot of changes community didn't wanted. Here's some examples: Forced grass graphic parameter that destroyed fps for people on bad PCs (according to some of my folks). 3rd person nerf (everybody wanted maplestrike to be nerfed, not the 3rd person. Also, this change killed some modded maps balance, like France that had guns with pretty balanced guns (like herstal)) Besides all that, he also did anti pay to win policy and after a month completely abandoned it (I even made a huge list of p2w servers that I reported back in the days, and only thing I've got was the message saying "you've miss understood the rules" (Even though most of the servers were EVEN SELLING /ITEM AND /VEHICLE)) All these changes made people quit and helped p2w servers to become swarmed with kids willing to pay money for kits and chat commands to gain stuff. So, should you go and play unturned? No, not in its current state. I wish if there would be some independent project that would start developing this game starting from the movement update, because it was one of the last good updates we gained. I have more than 5k hours in this game, trust me, it's not worth it anymore.

An aspect I find that disinterested me from playing Unturned much is the lack of Vanilla additions. Almost every new major update is a curated map that hardly uses any of the vanilla systems. Hell, the weapon skin system is no longer unique because half of the popular servers and curated maps don't even use the vanilla weapons. "Ooh I unboxed/crafted a cool weapon skin; I sure hope I find the weapon on the new map :)". I used to get really interested when a new vanilla map was coming out or new vanilla items, now I just see a new curated map and see if they make use of vanilla stuff. Also the heavy focus on PvP in this game really soured the original concept of being a Zombie Survival game. Oh I wish for an update that adds even more zombie types or even enhancing how the zombies work.

the thing imo is that it became a low budget robloxed 2019 fortnite, no one cares about the actual survival part which is the whole point of the game, the game itself IS fun, it is very good, it's just that the community ruins it i played yesterday with my friends (both new to unturned), gathering loot together, helping each other and slowly progressing is very fun, a lot of people say that "Unturned isn't fun the way it is supposed to play, PvP is much better", idk about that, because coordinating your friends to explore the tunnels on Russia and having everyone turning the lights off by accident and shooting pistols blindly for a couple of seconds was one of the most fun moments i've had in my 20 years of gaming, the game itself is good (in fact, we are going to play tomorrow with 4 more friends) you just gotta play it right btw PvP in this game is also very fun on PvP oriented servers, but the way PvE is underapreciated is just unfair

[@yesiam7481]

Its dying because unturned ISNT a survival game at all, atleast not on most servers. Hunger and thirst are not a concern, because food is everywhere. All of the servers feature cheap shit like /teleport to friends, are on easy mode, and the loot is so abundant you are never in need of anything... I dont see any hardcore servers... But however you tweak the game, i think the issue is just with its design. With time this game has devolved into a watered down hybrid of Day-Z and Rust, when it should've just tried to be unique on it's own right. Its not a survival game in its current state, its more of an arcade or "lite" version of the two aformentioned games; But everything is SO so much faster... You can go from naked on the shore to full spec-ops gear in 30 minutes if you know what to do... Its too easy and its just stale. Needs more beefy progression, you can "beat" unturned and see everything there is to see in a matter of hours. You can experience low end, mid, and high end PvP gunfights all in that short time, that it hardly feels like an accomplishment to reach those peaks.

Ty for bringing back a memory. I used to play it with my friends when I was younger and man, it was fun. I tried to come back but the game was full of RP servers, pvp, creative and the most vanilla thing were servers with x5 or just straight pvp kits, when I finally find one of course the server was dominated by a ten man clan always online camping military base, we manage to raid their base but it was pointless some of them had donator kits so we decided just to quit the game. I loved playing on vanilla or semivanilla with starter kits and tp, but right now it is almost impossible to find a server like this with active players. At least I have good memories, I miss the earlier unturned days but sadly its over I dont want to come back.

Current game owner is disabled for now, so it is pointless to await any progresses in the near time.

[@antimnaftan4755]

well the game is just flawed in general, normally losing progress in games is actually a fun mechanic because it gives tension to every fight but in here its just stress. Its fun to lose minutes to an hour of progress in a roguelike but its not fun to lose days or even weeks worth of progress no matter what so any fights are just super stressful and not fun and that coupled with the VERY small time to kill in this game AND the fact there is no where on the map you can put your items where they will be safe because offline raiding is a thing and you get a recipe for disaster, I dont know how you never saw any exploiters during your playtime but anytime I tried to play it it was completelly infested with cheaters. The only time I ever had fun with this game was when modders put in a battle royale gamemode but that gamemode is completelly dead now so I cant even play it anymore...

Unturned is just too easy imho. I can just go onto servers and easily get the materials I need to raid the majority of the bases on the server (not actually have enough to raid them all but most bases can be raided with the equipment) in a few hours of playing. Getting a full metal base that is well defended is so difficult. The only way to guarantee your base not being raided is to be online when it happens but then they will just gather their supplies and come back when you are offline as they know who you are now. This applies to vanilla as I don't enjoy modded servers. Tldr: too easy to get raiding supplies and too difficult to make a strong base

Problem with unturned is that it attracts a few new players and even after they decide to try it out there's a huge chance they'll just bail because the game has a fuckton of quit moments for example seeing the atrocious UI in which a new player has million ways to lose where tf are they. that's a part in which almost any survival game bests unturned in cuz if you open rust or dayz let alone minecraft you will be able to navigate the ui smoothly after like 4-10 hours and the ui doesn't overwhelm you, also the graphic style doesn't appeal to everyone because it's a weird hybrid of minecraft and idk

Quick answer is that, the game was much better on literal release, by adding so many weird stuff, including those giant zombies that run at you with the speed of flash, if ur online, people just fight each other, it's like Rust but worse becauase everything is blocky and weird, servers aren't exactly high quality and it's just overall messy.

[@RA-yq5ch]

My 2 cents are these: It died because of the server admins and the pvp focused community As for the server, admin abuse was rampant in the few servers i used to play, and things got to a point where that limited the fun. Only being able to have one base, unable to build on vehicles, which used to be so fun as people would have vehicle base pvp. The fact that the owner of a server liked a group made it so they could teleport into places and ignore rules. Fun fact, the admin turned out to cheat on his wife with a minor he had recluited as an admin. And then the pvp. The game i feel like is best without hypercompetitive players wiping the entire place just because they feel like it. The game is so focused into pvp in fact you'll won't find a server where you can't start playing at all. Back when a group of mine had dominance on server, we wouldn't raid anyone until they had a certain progress, like metal bases, helis. Now you can't even make a wooden base larger than 1x1 because it WILL get raided. In short, s**t admins, and the community focusing on pvp. I'll forever miss the times where me and my peeps would try to loot a city on a rainy night irl and in game, or host pvps and talks in our makeshift gun store

[@axtra9561]

There's still a decent playerbase that still active though. Sure it wasn't like the previous years, but there's more than enough vanilla servers still active

I remember playing this game in 2016 with a outdated laptop that barely run windows 10

[@user-lk2bd9lx4u]

i believe what led to this is the game losing its identity, catering more to pubby kids who dont know anything about advanced game mechanics who's main focus is PVP rather than being an actual survival game where you need to fight against hordes of zombies luckily though since the game is free and can be played offline its still quite fun solo and you can create your own server for free that caters to the survival aspect of it one thing I would love to be added here is AI Bot Bandits

[@mutantstandard348]

main issue are community commucation, there's quite a lots of good project/mod didn't get a good way to being noticed. plus the main game has content support issue(kinda) so things are not going totally ok sofar

[@mutantstandard348]

but again, nelson tried to makes some features for creators. and some a bit of game tweak. if he didn't turns back in 2019 the this game gonna died earlier than today

[@LoveMyDog521]

[@shanksthenoob2071]

Nelson yesterday updated the pyshics of all cars, helicopters and planes

[@joshuapace7562]

Unturned was my childhood and my start to PC gaming and survival games

[@sircuffington]

I think a major issue overall is the reliance of the "survival" tag. The only thing separating it from a zombie shooter is the durability system that no one uses because it's annoying, the food & hunger system which is bypassed super easily, and the "lose things on death" mechanic that is more annoying than anything to at least myself. I think it would be very neat to go into a single-player-Tarkov style game, or at least introduce some maps with it in mind.

[@shipmate8008]

I would play it if I could make my own servers with friends without having to port forward, the current servers are terrible for me and my friends.

[@mrivanov1527]

I just wish Unturned had an easier way to host servers to play with my friends and stuff, idk about now but 2 - 3 ish years ago when I was trying to make a server it was hard as heck and I didn't understand how everything worked, like commands, settings and other stuff like that

[@nxrbix]

definetly one of the most fun parts of unturned is the modding community, all of the mods are so well made ( well most of them ) and actually fun, servers can litteraly do anything with the plugins and mods

[@miguelsousa4737]

I used to play a lot of unturned back in the days with my mates when it was actually a survival game. Now, i feel like ita only fun to play after a new nap vomes out and people actually populate vanila servers. Lately i have been aching to play it again, but i feel like the maps, even tough are mich more intricate and have a lot more work on them, are simply too big for the avtive players. Therea no pvp, bases are only on the corner of the mapa etc I have been talking about giving it another try with my mates and we will do that. I hope it goes well and that we have fun, especially since we dont play together that much anymore. Anyway, dont let this game die, fellas. Its a true gem

[@pink_guy8476]

Glad to see another unturned enjoyer.

[@Dontmindmeisnotoriginal]

I started playing Unturned again a few days ago because of Buak, which add enough content to make it a unique experience, but as a PvE player who plays with friends on private servers, it might be the last time I play it, because the game is just dead. There is nothing new except random fixes. Even Buak - which I feel is a more PvE oriented map - is way too easy (I died like once, and it's because I ate explosive candies), food isn't a threat, water isn't a threat, zombies are even less of a threat and even mega are easy to deal with because zombies can't leave an area since 3.0. The game has a lots of issues since 3.0/its release that won't ever get fixed (the terrible inventory system which is just confusing with big inventories since you can't sort it, the crafting interface that gets cluttered a lot when you play with mods and the search feature is pretty much useless, and the vehicles physics - especially they have 2 wheels). I've also seen some people criticize its optimisation, but I've had no problem with it (my integrated gpu is around a GTX 1050 Ti / GTX 1060, which is quite old and with almost everything ultra it's not quite 60 fps but it still feels smooth). But for PvE, you're better off playing Project Zomboid (which may not be free but it's really worth it, even though it as its flaws it has better gameplay and mods)

[@MatuGamesYY]

i play it a bunch, i usually play it with friends or by myself, my steam pfp is actually the game icon 😄

[@Chorcles]

This might be wierd but I never really touched the PVP aspect of Unturned and it was all just on PvE got about 100-ish hours on it.

[@rowanweaver3241]

the problem with vanilla is the skill system It needs to be completely re-hauled or removed entirely, it ruins the game and the feeling If he did that, and then maybe made progression feel a bit more fun, it would work out

[@VibeNumber9467]

I remember watching a lot of unturned. I couldn’t play it back then though..

[@dylanyea4910]

Man I always try to get one but sadly I don't have PC

[@darthtempest4722]

I was thinking about getting this on Xbox but now I see what it looks like I just might do so

[@goodlifer_exe]

In my opinion, its because there arent any good servers anymore (most of them are ultra modded russian only servers) and 2 rediculous game mechanics.1. the mechanic where when you leave the server ur body with all your loot disappears and 2. THE GOD DAMN BED SYSTEM, I cant even count anymore how many times Ive had to restart a skybase build because of me accidentally unclaiming a bed.

[@VipGamesFPA]

Finally, someone with a brain here. Yeah, it's the lack of good servers, but also mods and game management itself.

[@AMX_12t_God]

Unturned gameplay: Spawn in, loot, die from a player out of nowhere, respawn. Loot, build a base, log off for a few hours, log back on into your raided base, repeat

[@Vormaz]

I just hosted a server. A6 Polaris as the map and its semi-vanilla. (Tpa, Home,Kits)

[@inf3rnis984]

sounds great always wanted to play polaris will check it out for sure

[@stmcbd12]

the recent update made it even worse for me, cuz they made more complicate the hosting of small servers to play with friends, it was way easier a few months ago

[@lemonjuice.]

my personal opinion on the matter is that pvp games suck and nelson turned it from what i believe was meant to be a survival game (possibly with team aspects) into another shooter clone. like if people wanted to shoot kids in video games for a couple hours, just play cod. maybe even rust if you really still want the survival aspects. don't say they can't because i can see the mythicals these kids wear so we all know damn well they can afford to play other games. like you said, elver is a great map because the progression is inherently difficult and to fully 100% the map, even just in singleplayer, will take hours of effort and grinding to complete the just the face-value material. there is a lot of secret work put into the map, world-building, and supposedly universe-building (see kuwait) and having the game be a simple loop of "find gun, kill person, repeat" is a major downside for the game in my opinion. there is a lot of effort put into these maps, their story and their mechanics and all of them are brushed over and the secret achievements are listed in guides (often as instructions on how to cheat them) tl;dr people play this game for the wrong reasons, pvp sucks

[@eelx]

I’m a 500 hour played a lot on vanilla-vanilla+ servers was good at pvp, enjoyed the farming and it all. I recommend.

[@lupe323]

i js wish the TTK in unturned wasn’t so wacky
