| Author | 50 days without news: new record or this server is dead? |
|---|
| what's the adress for the .ru server? i tried lordswm.ru but didn't get there... | | heroeswm.ru | After checking the russian server i understand now...
Just the map is so much bigger. think about the possibilities!
too bad i don't speak russien or i wouldn't have come back here. Is it so difficult to use the setting of the russian server, translate a bit and copy it to this one? | 123
It is impossible to copy simply because there will be no unexpectedness in game events either here, or there. | Ive Been Waiting My Clan Approval For 1 Month Now
Still No Response From The Admins | for Scorpeao:
Yeahh and many more arts .. :) Like dwarven shield with durabs 100 with price 1M gold .. :) OMG .. That is cool :)
Do not worry, coz our server is growing and growing .. :) wait the time to be bigger than the russian one .. :) | for RandhyTheDarks
The server isnt growing, thats the problems, and probably why admins dont care much about this server. They had expectations before starting it and we didnt make it. Thats all. | for Dan-Panic:
feeling guilty for server's lethargy is your own choice but please, speak only for yourself because i certainly do not. | | From the beginning this server got much less attention than the Russian one. If admins had a vision for this server than they should work harder for it. Without their effort they won't get much success.. | whining and whining..
Incredible how one person starting to complain can always pull others who had few doubts into a state of complete panic and hopelessness..
Does anybody realize that as long as we have so little active players updates cannot be done?
It is not a matter of profit, it is not that they aren't worthwile, it is all about leaving a chance to new players and future groups..
Want a bigger map, with war clans and dwarves invasion?
FINE!
And who will profit of this, since there are so little high level players in the game?
If dwarves are so powerful, then are you expecting to have kusika & kianue fight them for everybody? (if they are not, what on earth would we care? Rather fight a bunch of goblins..)
And how many clan are there today that can really afford the clan wars for control of territory? 3? 5?
The truth is that if these and other features were implemented today, we would go for a monarchy or at best an oligarchy; a few people, probably united in a single clan (or a few clans), who would control and enjoy the world, and all the other players who.. just stand there.
And since it would grow exponentially, after a few month no way to compete with those, it would be join them or quit the game.
Has anybody realized this?
More and more powerful new arts are the best way to increase the distance between low levels and high levels. If 10 lvl 15 will control the world in 2 months time, how many chance will a 3 lvl player have to, one day, hope to fight them and win?
Yes, we need more players, not to have admins make a profit, but to have an enjoyable game.
And on top of that, we need more high level players to give a real challenge to each other.
And this *BEFORE* we get mass updates as everybody on this thread seems to think they fully deserve.
So, instead of staying here whining that the server isn't as big as the russian one, go fightin' and hunting and get your chars up, and this *will* speed up the updates. | | oh, and last thing: if you still seek a proof of admins' work, do check the shop and the factories, that are getting refilled constantly.. | for telca :)
This isnt really a proof of admin presence as it can be easily automated :)
Anyways, you are not wrong in the fact that we miss high level players, but also the fact that high players leaves cause of admins arent present doesnt help at all. If they want player to stay, they need to be here. Tourneys are good event to keep people playing, but since we need admins for approval on every tourney and Arctic is off sicne more then a month now, Alexander and Maxim doesnt speak much english, its quite hard to organise anything.
Also tourneys are a good way to get players advance in level faster, more tourney, more high level players.
They should care a bit more at this server.
And for Georgia,
I do not feel guilty at all that this server isnt what they were expecting, Expectation is the root of all trouble. Ive done my share to give this site some presence on the web with voting and talking to my friends around. I was just stating the fact that 1500 online at max during rush hours for more then 3 months means the server isnt growing! | This isnt really a proof of admin presence as it can be easily automated :)
There is an old post in the announcement section that explains that the shop is refilled manually. So yes, it can be automated, but no, it hasn't been done yet.
As for tourneys, they are also a good way to get advanced level player to advance even more, since they win automatically (you did see that there are only 2 lvl 13, right?).. Thus increasing the depth of the chasm separating them from the "common of mortals".
Indeed, the best way to get things leveled up, is to have everybody play as we are now: The lower level go up faster because the higher you go, the more XP you need to level up, and without better arts nor special events that give more experience according to the difficulty (as was last tourney), it is a simple matter of maths to demonstrate that it takes far longer to get from lvl 13 to 14 than from 11 to 13, and so on (assuming regular players).
Then, since keeping this pace all the time would be boring, yes, from time to time admins do add something. But they have to do it a little at time, else the updates would kill the game (or make it reserved to the elite that began it first). I guess this is not really what is wanted.. | I wasn't talking anything about dwarf invasion. Of course this server isn't far enough. But do we have what .ru had when it was as old as this server is now? - far from it I'm afraid...
If regular tournaments are so bad why are there so many on .ru? We had 3 official tournaments here while on .ru there were way more than 30!
I don't know how much older that server is but I'm pretty sure that in its first year there were more than 3 tournaments there...
I'm not whining I'm just saying that this server doesn't have less events because it has fewer players, but it has fewer players because it has less events ;) | telca, thanks for another view on things, really enlightening.
And maybe you're right: This major updates could destroy the game more then benefit it.
But... Without any updates this server will slowly die and if it's just for me.
It becomes more and more boring to me to have a level 11 character. There are no challenges anymore. Group battles with the same 5 - 10 players, Thieves Guild 5, Mercenaries Guild 6, for what? Reaching level 12? I don't want to insult Top 20 players, but I have other things to do then do hunting, thiefing and questing all the day to reach a new level in months.
I really don't want to whine, it's simple: No updates, no fun for me, no presence from me here. Just my personal view, I know that no one would say "LordSchniesel, pleeeeease, don't quit!!!" :)
And sorry, typing a few numbers in the facilities isn't really an sign of administrative activity. My 10 year old sister could do it, if I had one.
Still no single word from admins. And there are still people who want to explain this with admin's bad English skills... That really makes me laugh.
If I were a bad guy I would say: They let this server die on purpose, take as much donations as they can and head totally to russian server. Just imagine the spam on russian server, if they quit this one from one day to another. Every second kid, who has spent weeks and months in this game would registrate there and insult the admins. That's just the better way to end this experiment: Let it fade out slowly and quiet. Who cares about that bunch of international high level players?
No, I won't spend my time to level up to end up as a level 13 character on a server with 300 other players. And I wouldn't encourage anyone to this. Beside of this I wouldn't invite friends to this game, because it more and more seems like a waste of time to put anything in it. | | I hope they can move accounts from this server to russian in case this server dies. :) | | LordSchniesel, pleease don't go! =) | | :') | There back my clan has just been accpeted.
Everyone join my clan :) | LordSchniesel's theory holds water - greed as a motivator, and a good deal of cynicism.
Obviously, .ru server gets most (all?) of admins' love.
Obviously, .com has been developed in hope of getting more money in admins' pockets. Since it allows us to play, I don't think we should complain either.
Obviously, .com has not been up to expectations, but I guess the server pays itself, otherwise admins would not bother maintaining it.
So perhaps - perhaps - that current situation is just... The average deals lordswm.com will have for months and years to come. No news from admins, token updates in form of clan approval, restock of mines and artifact shop once in a while, cheaters running wild, and... That's all.
People enjoying the game as it stands now may be happy (how many updates on chess recently?) but others, like LordSchniesel, have a different feeling. I can understand them completely: they are interested enough in the game to have seen it all, but not to race the pointless race to top 10 players.
But of course we can all hope for a better future of our beloved game =) |
