XDRP has been inactive for 546 days, placing it firmly in the zombie category. The development history shows a period of activity in early 2024 followed by a single update in early 2025, but no further engagement or maintenance has been observed since. The lack of updates for over a year and a half indicates that the project is no longer receiving active development support.

Key takeaways for XDRP
Where is it heading?
The social roleplay market is consolidating around titles with active live-ops and robust communication features. XDRP's current maintenance-mode posture leaves it exposed to rivals that can offer a more stable and social experience, which will likely accelerate churn through the next two quarters.
- The 18-month release gap signals a shift to maintenance mode, which erodes user trust in the app's long-term viability.
- Persistent technical instability prevents users from engaging with the core home-hosting feature, directly suppressing monetization potential.
The SWOT
- Avatar customization increases session frequency via personal identity expression
- Restoring moderated chat could recover lost social network effects
Next best moves
Pivot engineering to restore moderated chat because its removal is the primary driver of negative sentiment → recover user retention.

The app's biggest risk is not its technical bugs…
Read the full takeSince the last report: XDRP has entered a confirmed zombie state with an 18-month development gap, while the user base has shrunk significantly, shifting from a high-volume community to a small, highly frustrated cohort.
Bottom line
Restoring the social foundation is the only path to reversing the current churn, as the app's value proposition currently fails without communication tools. Prioritizing stability and chat restoration will unlock the retention loop that the current maintenance-mode cadence has effectively broken.
