This game is dead because of it becoming pay-to-win. Lets be real here.
Shame on the devs
I believe what he is saying is that the game developers haven't tried playing this game they created without pp, or at all. Im not sure if you're a developer or just a forum mod, but try playing this game with no premium points. Its lame. Because if they did, they would see why so many people are complaining and quitting because of pp.Because devs are supposed to play under the name you know them under? Or.. ? Please clarify how you detect a player account to be (non-)developer?
TW has been "dying" since long before the premium features were introduced, I think some of ya'll have causality backwards. The premium features are an attempt to squeeze blood from a stone.
Not like the numbers that left since pp was introduced. There is no doubt the the premium exchange single handily killed this game faster than anything. The deveopers and staff repeatedly turned a blind eye to a massive amount of people complaining about the premium points. Developers remained greedy or just plain ignorant and dumb. Now the game is dead.
People who complain stick around. The numbers you need to actually worry about are the ones you can't see (or don't pay attention to): world size (and revenue from premium across all sources). This thread was made in 2010. No hauls was introduced in ~2012, to bring some freshness into the game (based on player feedback!). The game was already losing players quickly then. Premium features took another 2-3 years to come into being.
You are misinformed, data does not lie.
You are wrong about them sticking around, for every person that complains about this on the forums. There are probably a thousand who quit because of it.
Look at player 'MeaningLess' on world 113. He has 4k points on the rim and is still under beginner's protection. People around him haven't even had to chance to reach 500 points! LAME. You think any new players will want to play with that garbage?
Most people that have been in the world since the start have less than half of those points!
Yes, that's why I referred to actual timelines.
I think new players probably don't pay attention to that.

Yet you're still here, oddly.
Quarantine got you coming back?
Same, since I can't imagine trying to log into skype now. Seems the answer is no. I'm really sad that no one competent ever got to lead a tribe with the new tribe features :/Oh, I'm not playing. I just logged into the forum to see if quarantining people had actually caused a bump in activity.
Polish non PP worlds are also in good condition. There're still many players.If people want to play non PP worlds, the Brazil/Polish/German servers still have non PP world. With the population in the brazil server being quite good.
Hmu if you want to join one of the next worlds
