I haven't been seeing too much deceptive rush lately.
Oddly, I've been running into a fair number of 80+ card decks, so it's hard to pin down what I'm seeing.
When I've run into 50-card decks, I have seen a number of Kadir-based decks, some Noble/Official decks, and the occasional Courtesan deck.

I just had 2 days break as my Internet vanished. When I played today I had 10 bonus games. So the theory about waiting a whole day without playing gives you bonus games appears to be true. What a lol bug though. Rewards players for not playing every day Would be nice if they made a competitive system that worked and I actually cared about.

Yay for my theory, then.
Boo for it apparently being correct.

Yeah, as I said in another post, they should just give all the bonus games for the season at Day 1 of the new season - this way it wouldn't matter if they want to play everyday or if they just want to play from time to time. But then again, they should just create a true competitive mode but I don't know when that will be available.

I'll defer to the mods on this one, but considering the last update was in September, my guess is yes. The ACR Facebook page hasn't been updated, and there have been no developer posts on this site since Hurdler left the project. We got updates just about every month before September. Just look at the Facebook page and see how much action there was prior to that last update. I may be wrong, but the complete lack of action makes me think the project has been shut down or has been severely limited. If they are still listening, I would really like it if they could fix the bugs for With Great Power and Ancestral Discovery. I'm getting real tired of losing to players who are knowingly exploiting these bugs--especially the surprise Doomsday/Ancestral Discovery decks that seem to be popping up like flies. I'll defend being able to make Doomsday a surprise, but I can never come back if my opponent pulls a Doomsday and an Ancestral Discovery every time they play AD. It's ridiculous.

Not to jump on the end days bandwagon, but I think that any further development of ACR by Ubisoft isn't happening.
JeremyAT's points about the Facebook page are good ones.
Also, I don't know if any of you played Ubisoft's AC Facebook game Project Legacy, but the same thing happened with it. It was getting pretty regular updates, people seemed to be enjoying it, future updates were being advertised (unlike ACR), and then... boom. Done. You can still bring up the game and see the ad for an upcoming update that is never going to happen. The whole thing just got dropped and never picked up again.
I fear that may have happened to ACR as well.

Player base (from leader boards): August - September 1600 October - November1800
So the good news is player base is growing. The bad news is we're super small. I wonder how much income 2000 players bring in?
Positive factors are the new server. Game connection is so much better now.
I'd love to see the AC III expansion, but I'm enjoying the game as is.

Not sure if we ever got a new server. Maybe people are simply playing less, so the server isn't as loaded as it used to be.
I did send a private e-mail to Marc Hernandez a couple of weeks ago about the status of the game but didn't get any feedback...

Like many others?
I checked the credits page on AC Recollection and anything I could find on LinkedIn on these persons. Looks like most have moved on to other jobs, but some are still there (or have not yet updated their profiles).
So I'm not sure they have enough manpower left to keep the ball rolling (and maybe do some bug-fixes), but they certainly do not have the manpower to develop any expansions.
I guess the only way we can get them back is by buying a huge amount of credits...

So now I'm wondering if an app can be developed that only takes the scores from Recollection and would give us a real competitive environment. I think if that would exist people will keep on playing even if no new expansions are released...

Add me to the list of people upset at other players exploiting AD's bug. Add me to that list, with a special note that I don't even own an AD so I have no chance of doing it back to the person. If anyone wants to list the people exploiting that bug here, or send their names in a PM, I'd be happy to play my Forgotten Temple deck against them and just spam AD recycles until they quit.
