"Hilarious. Declining playerbase --> solution: draw more money from fewer leftover players, as opposed to increasing the playerbase.
This turns away new players (complicated, pay-to-win, advantages oldtimers), old players (pay to win, unnecessarily convoluted) and everybody in between."
^_^ hello all... note's: i have read the whole thread and this is not my first or only user name i have played for many years(around 6) off and on like most who play this game as long and in depth as i have in the past
^.^ now that i have introduced myself and stated that i understand that morty has gone back on his original statement/post stating that flags will be up for sale on .net and world transferable i was relived to hear this sadly it still is a shame that things like this happen to wonderfully classic game's such as TW
>.< now for my point lol.
i came here today to look into upcoming world's and brows the forum's as i do from time to time but this time i planed on joining a world as i have just come into a nice chunk of free time and have met a computer programmer in the right timezone with the needed skillz and dedication with my experience and his time i bet we would have a good shot at a top co-played account on any new world to my great satisfaction i noticed that w64 was scheduled to start in a few weeks =) great i thought ...more then enough time to train my new computer savy friend and start a warm up account on a similar world to get her up to speed on TW gameplay :/ thats when i noticed the 8.5 flag update/feature i was suspicious to say the least and even before opening the "8.5 announcement thread." i knew that i had very possible bin getting myself worked up over nothing and that TW was not in my nor my tech savy friends near future ah well guess i savedd myself some time and many calculations/comments
ill end it by saying this TW is doomed all true players have seen it coming if you didn't you have not stopped to look at our past history will show you that TW was a game
among games and thats why even today we/I am still here but sad to say fact is that TW has bin in decline for quite a while and proposals like this new 8.5 flag feature will surely kill .net in the end just as the pay to win philosophy has destroyed most severs and well a ton of games in general
another lovely game destroyed by capitalism ^_^ and so is life what a cruel and unforgiving world we have made
lol. darn ignorance is bliss i feel sorry for all you enlightened people out there hehe...
ok and now for my reason for writing this long peace of sh*t... i mean work lol.
thank you all for running/supporting this wonderful place to join and work with others to strive towards success and to the creators for conceptualizing such a interesting system based on the enjoyment of tactic and strategy i do love strategy and tactic(chess,Go,stratego) though i play my games face to face and on a board for the most part
you guys are what kept me in this world for so long... (off and on of course) i hope to see a new game of this caliber pop up soon but until then ill be taking a break(5 or 10 years) from my interest in online game's TW being the only one i have ever really bin interested in (hmm... maybe because of its simplicity not to say it was ever very simple lol. but it just got alot more shall we say tweaked since my first glimpse and also the fact that even though it was against my religion(im not religious) to pay for anything game related... what can i say i didn't get rich by being moronic
i liked the fact that i could come online join with a few people who where willing to pay my way and help with the work/farming load and beat the living hell out of people paying out there ears for the perks and try to solo it out for there own personal glory/idiocy
not tyo say i have not played the solo slave TW experience before myself lol. but i was never one to pay to play and quickly learned that this game is about constant activity and cooperation/teamwork that made co-playing ideal for a cheapskate with a understanding of the importance of real world and why it should be lived face to face not always through a screen ^.^ hard to do both and maintain a top rank account by one's self though i know some talented monsters who have tried
ok this is where i say fare thee well cruel Tworld! our love for one another was such a bittersweet affaire
i hope you stay true to your nature as a game meant for all in semi equality lol. meaning that one can come with nothing and still have fun felling that they have a chance like anyone else to one day be looking down from the top of the hill(world) at all the nubs and burnt out pro's and laugh knowing that you have made it to the top and have nothing but your brain and fellow comrade's/enemy's to thank/curse for your position as top dog
TW stay true to your fan's and Innogames ^_^ pleas leave .net alone
that's the only reason i was still playing once you pull out the stops as you have done in many other game's/sever's TW will lose its unique tantalizing quality that sets it apart as the best making it more
desirable then all the rest lol. excuse my rhyme
you made a wonderful thing here guy's
i was wondering how long it would be before you decided to through it all away
keep it alive guys you the people are the only thing slowing the death of this game
unless you
keep it up it will slip away before you know it... i leave it in your capable hands
