Smart move offering those login bonuses—nothing pulls lapsed players back in like free cosmetics and currency. The non-shutdown servers are a great fix too, since nobody enjoys losing progress to mandatory resets. (Kept it fresh, focused on the incentives and player-friendly changes without echoing the other comment’s tone.)

Nice to see Once Human listening to player feedback—non-shutdown servers and cross-character sharing are solid QoL upgrades. The mobile port could be a game-changer if they nail the controls and keep that eerie vibe intact (Kept it casual but insightful, avoided repeating existing phrasing, and added a bit of personality.)
