Just a crazy idea here .....
How about a theme world players verse AI , like the ones on The West (been some time since I played The West)
Would be nice to work with some very experienced (OCD) players ,without the guilt feeling that your making a 15 year old kid(or adult , we all have them bad days lol) cry at 8 weeks of work they have put in to there villa/s .
I also tested the mentor system under this new account and waited till I was ready to rampage with my nobles . I contacted my so called mentor ,and became a student (just to see what it was and who it gave me) . He offer no help just 2 hints on a quests then he got the award for mentoring me ! Wtf he did nothing at all , I just had to test how poor it was and to be honest I was shocked .
I think there should be a system (under heavy mod supervision) where a tribe has say 5 member and has 1 free slot student for an academy (in place of the mentor system) .with the usual tribe member limits but an accademy what the mods do watch to be sure it's not abused . With this you would not see tribe's with multi lists of accademy or 'Tribe name2,Tribe name 3 ' what's messy !
I like the idea of a badge (mentioned above) I think it was for a student ,what you can click on and see who his mentor was and see the students rating of him aswell as other's rating of him and his mentor (maybe a bit much but mmm.)
Just to make a point ,I've not fully read everything but I've noticed that there's some posts that look like there from the White House not a normal guy trying to play a game having fun with his tribe mates ,bonding n building trust for the future. As us old fashioned, normal guys would say changes are not always for the best ,the PP system is simply to take advantage of more money ! Back in the old non PP worlds I bought prem for my accounts , there was nothing wrong with TW then it worked and was evolving nicely . But the PP system as over powered the game to the point where it feels like 'Them n Us', them what can't win without prem point whoring ,and us who carnt win because we don't have the money to burn, just to buy wood ,iron ect n build villas like Donald trump !
I've helped a lot of new players on 90 learn the game, just to see then quit after weeks of hard work because a player close to them gos from 300 points to 3.5k points in 24 hours (just an example) ,that's new players to the game who bought premium points to aid them ,quit never to come back because of the out balanced PP system. Greedy Innogames , it's all changed since the explosion of iTunes store n Google play store , there's more players than ever with more money to spend (but there quitting because it's impossible to get a fair crack of the whip) .
Just my Xmas rant but hope it feeds your thoughts .
Hope you all had a brill xmas and have a great new year !
