Author | 50 days without news: new record or this server is dead? |
lol :P didn't seen that XD |
I really don't understand why .com is hard to grow compared to .ru?
did heroeswm.ru get more people because they had more events and more updates?
or did they get more events and more updates because they were with more people? |
Couldn't the main problem be for .com's slower event progress that the admins/designers lack translators.
If they design something like that dwarf war for .ru, all they would need to do is get it translated and insert the code (or whatever, I have no knowledge about programming at all :p) in .com. |
It's the usual chicken and egg question, but the answer is clear: heroeswm.ru get more people because they had more events and more updates. How could it possibly be any other way around???
And if you want to know why, I give you my explanation: because administrators are not at ease in English.
Now, on to the topic: there has been some admin activity in the last weeks, even if it was just a few (too few!) blockings of cheaters. |
There won't be any updates. That's for sure, want to know why?
"Recent problems with server latency made us look for an alternative host. We are delighted to inform you that our quest has been crowned with success."
Sorry I don't know how to quote
but do you realise the 'alternative' host? it's signing that they are lack of money to do some updates. Well, maybe our efforts of donating is not too much after all. I mean just look at .ru, They donated 0.5k for an avatar. And still, the .ru just got plain update. If they donated 0.5k (but there's about 10+ players do this!) for those few updates, how can we hope that this server will be updated here.
For sure, new updates will be implemented on .ru and then this server
P.S: Don't ban me i dont flood! |

No one would understand a thing if they use translators. |
I meant translating people :P (sorry for bad english) |
You complain about server not growing because admins don't do much. That maybe is true. But what did YOU do about it ? Do you vote every day here?
http://67.220.205.82/forum_messages.php?tid=16020
Or how about the "Building a house thread" ( also on off-game forum ).
Did you spend a precious amount of 5-10 seconds per day to click?
Everyone of us has the power to help bring more people to the game without much effort, however very few try. Before you start complaining about anything you should first wonder: "Did i do whatever i could , before i blame others about the very same thing? "
And that does not only refer to this game only, it's a very big part of real life too..
Good morning! |
think a bit.In the evening of server time the server goes lag most pages aren't accesable and there's the page is curently unavailable.It's obvious that the admins are doing work for real!They r doing some little work/day so they won't lose population. |
29=
I never experience those, Iknow cuz i play this game for up to 8+ hours, and that's enough for me to go for your evening ;) and read my previous post.it will explain some or more |
Lot of ideas, lot of confusion, I want to put a little confusion too. ^__^
In my opinion the main problem of this servere is the lack of comunication. This is a comunity and there is a need for public relations between the owners of the game (admins) and their dedicated players.
The great part of the complains are caused by this incomprehensible (for me) way in dealing with PR. There is a long scary silence here on this server.
With few words, like: "we are working on a big development, be patient", the admin would have avoided the born of posts like that. |
You complain about server not growing because admins don't do much. That maybe is true. But what did YOU do about it ? Do you vote every day here?
Well, I don't think these sites bring much traffic here. Did you discover LoWM this way? They exist only to generate ad revenues through the help of people like you, trying to place their daily click.
I've come to think that if .com customer base is bigger, so is competition: there are literally hundreds of quality online games here, certainly more than what is available to Russian. And although it has resounding success for Russian people, it's perhaps not doing too well in other environments. Too competitive? Too long? Too hard? Too many cheaters? I can't really tell. But the number of registered users vs. number of people actually playing the game surely tells something. |
Yes, there are not much advertisements for this game
If you google for a browsergame you ll never find this one
I found this game by accident when i was reading (the battlefield heroes fansite) forums
There was that banner on top of the forums, linking to this site.
Normally i dont click on banners, but for some reason i did :P
But I think that many people that like the Heroes of Might and Magic series and strategy games, dont know about the existence of this game =( |
for Kotrin:
Have you ever checked the other games posted in omgspider top 20? That site pops up on browser games search engines and i can assure you many people try those games... I knew of that site long before i came on Lordswm. And i have tried a lot of the games there and most of them are complete crap compared to this one... That "Lords" game feels like 1990s game yet it has 50 times more people than this one here. Don't you think those people that play there could be interested in checking LordsWM if it was on a decent place on standings?
And of course i am not suggesting that clicking is a remedy... but it helps. It definitely helps more than posting 1k similar threads on the forum. Advertisement is everything that matters. |
Advertisement could help, but I don't think it's the core issue at hand. If this game was so incredible, word of mouth / buzz would be enough to provide a sustainable growth, even without advertisement.
I am more worried by the fact that we are beyond 251'000 + registered players, and only 1100 online daily. THAT's the problem. If you have only 0.4% of returning customers in your business, you should ask yourself if you aren't doing something wrong. |
I am not questioning the fact that admins should do more here. I am just saying this topic will not really add anything to help alleviate the issue at hand. I believe admins already know about everything said here ( since it is the 100th time being written on forums ) but so far didn't do anything to react to this situation ( at least not anything that is apparent to us ). The reasons for this i cannot tell, maybe some of the staff people would know more than me.
Even if they dont have the time to release something serious soon, what Vonemar said ( post 31 ) would be more than enough. |
Relax, take it eeeeeaaaaassyyyyy))) because there is nothing that you can do.. |
On Russian server now it is a lot of problems with changes of rules. There is a preparation for war between clans for the right to own territories on a card. When there all will make, here there will be a war with gnomes |
for Svetochek:
And where did you get that from?! |

I play for a long time Russian server |
