Sabcat Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 3 hours ago, Monster said: Yeah, this is what it comes down to. People warned about this 5 years ago and it's been a slow bleed. admin's response was "I didn't expect this to last six months and we still have 20k players, so don't worry and have fun." People can talk all about how it's due to the current political situation, but frankly that's not the case at all and even Disorder War was basically the inactive olympics and we could see how little people already cared by then. This. The state of the game isn't a result of the current political situation, the current political situation is a result of the state of the game. There's no other way to play it and it sucks for the hegemonic alliances as much as it does for the revisionist alliances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a game has such a limited number of active alliances, it's an indictment of its ability to retain interest and you have a very liberal definition of active of here. I would say it's a single digit number of alliances that are active and not on the high end of single digits. The point is, the game was going in this direction independently of any political set-up and every major war including the biggest ones usually saw massive declines in player count, which contradicts the whole narrative. I'm sorry people aren't as willing to spend hours on end marshaling coalitions of inactives as in the past in a game where most veteran players stopped caring years ago and there was no one to replace them, which is the bigger issue. Most alliances have skeleton crews in gov now. The entitlement people have here to dynamic politics when there is barely any general activity in the game is puzzling.

This is a good point in itself. Wars are a big investment in time and resources, and most players have other things to do with their lives. There's a line between a politically necessary war, and a conflict started for idiotic reasons only relevant to the feelings of a handful of people. There comes a point when many players will chose to just quit rather than deal with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believland Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 It's honestly surprising enough that people are still registering for the game. I couldn't imagine ever selling tech for a year just to get a FAC and a DRA. The only real shot at nation growth in this game is to spend $60-120 in donations a month and just get 9 mil and 100 tech delivered to you every round.

There's lots of new people still playing, but it takes alot of energy to keep them safe from predatory bullies who grief them with upper tier wonder and improvement builds. One way to help is to pay people good rates for tech, like 6/100. Edited April 10, 2017 by Immortan Junka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Zigur Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 We have known that the game is heading towards the abyss for some time now.

Perhaps if people are in alliances with no guidance, selling tech at crap rates, then they can do far better than that. I average 1 wonder every 24.5 days, even with a slow start, I have spent a bit of my own money on the game, but no great amount, and I have received $2.265 million per package of technology sent (on top of this I have sent out a not insignificant amount of cash).

I didn't buy a wonder 30 days in, in fact I think I was like 80 days in (slow start as I said), so it was actually 200 days. 2. By and large weren't my $30's.
