So this is probably a bad place to put this, but I don't think a thread on this would be approved. So my apologies in advance for hijacking your thread Display, although with your question/idea I actually agree with it.
I have to ask, why are we still playing .net? This server is on the decline, with pretty poor settings, poor player base and poor competition. W97 has been open for more than a week and the core cannot even fill up anymore. The player base has shrunk on .net, which is to be expected for being around as long as its been. I thought this game was dying back 7 years ago or so, and while yes it was in decline, I did not see the game being here in 2017 so I must give credit for that.
However .net is a shell of itself. I think most of us here can agree that .net is pretty bad for a variety of reasons. However, not all TW servers are bad. Some are still actually thriving and doing well for themselves with a bigger player base, more unique and different settings, and support English.
I'm talking about the Polish servers. The size of their newer worlds are bigger than .net's, the settings are different and unique. They still have no hauls, limited hauls, and even non flag and non p2w worlds, and actually create No Morale worlds, something I haven't seen here in years. Take a look at 2 newer worlds, first one is a .net world:
Sad! Low energy!
And here is PL 122:
What a beauty. More players, more competition. It's already been verified that the Polish servers support English as a language. They also have a night defense bonus from 0 st to 8 st which may not be ideal for some USA players, but the benefits of this server outnumber the negatives, by far. They just opened a new world 2 days ago and it's surpassed W97 already in size and # of players.
So here I am, advocating that we begin to migrate to this server. I think it would be interesting to make a .net tribe or tribes to invade a world over on the Polish servers even, go crazy with it.
I would have made my own thread advocating for this, but do not think it would be approved. Sorry again for hijacking, but Display, the Polish do have No Hauls so I'm sure you will be happy to hear this.
