| I dunno if it's just a temp thingy, but there seems to be about 100-200 (from about 1200 to 1400) peps online during peak hours. |
1400 people on an international scale is a joke. i know a relatively new german browsergame, thats open for 2 month now and already gathered 65000 players. just for the sake of it, lets assume half of them are multis. that still leaves around 30000 players.
i dont know, if im allowed to post the link here, but if you would see it, you would understand why. even though, the gamplay is quasi non existent. but the creators put alot of personal effort into the game. the graphics are detailed and pretty, there are updates nearly evrery 2-4 days. even though there are often minor changes most of them take wishes of players into accout. there is a good comunication between developers and the community.
(to be fair, it might help that the game is based on a comic about wow. but still, that cant be the only reason. you dont stay at a browsergame, just because it has something to do with another game you like.) |
for Cassaria:
+1.
A lot of ppl around here really dont understand what's the goal of admins with this site... |
I am not sure a lot of updates bring more players
I know a few games (OGame, Travian, Hattrick, ... - I hope I can write them here, otherwise moderator please delete) that have undergone very very few updates in their now 5+ year long career .. and still at any new server 10-15000 players enroll (and this is only in Italy, but there havee some hundreds servers all around the globe)
I don't think it's all related to the game as well, since I think this game has already a lot more variety than those I mentioned ... It can be there is not a lot/not enough advertisement (I actually started to play because I saw an ad on one of the main page of the games mentioned before)
Probably the worst thing here is that at high level (12+) there is very very little new to try .. and even at lev 8+ you feel a little monothony ... that's why I agree that we would need more "events", and of course new updates will be great...
The nice things about the games I mentioned above is that you can actually destroy your enemies, founds empires, really collaborate with your clan mates, etc. ... here it is what is missing here ... I am not sure, but think if you fight a duel and then you can take 1 or 2 of the arts from your enemy ... do a 3 vs 3 with all 3's on one side from a Clan and the others from another clan ... and the Clan that wins get XXX gold from the other one ... etc. etc. This will really spice the game, make reason for the clan to exist, give duels some chance (nowadys duels are practically never done at high levels) ...
Sorry for the length ... my 2p to the discussion ... |
| if they really want donations? they must allow people to create custom heroes( cost 500 diamonds or more ) like .ru server having. |
500 diamonds = 500 euros!
Really, do you think that pay 500 euros in a free game is a good way to spend your gold? If the answer is yes, maybe you don't know that even in europe, 500 euros is 1 month pay for millions of people.
Well supported games are asking less than 5 euros every month to be played. 500 euros is just crazy! |
for Vonemar:
remember there are more ways to get diamonds besides real money. those who get the custom thingys are the people who are either rich (and play too many games) and those who won a some tournaments |
to Vonemar:
yes its crazy.. i know,but it is true!( according to some threads which i read earlier) |
and those who won a some tournaments ...
When you have 26 tournament in 2 year this could be possible, but here we had 4 tounaments and the last 2 were without diamond prize.
for DarthMall: I have a character on .ru, it's true. But it is not a ways to bring ppl in[7quote] |

I tend to think that's part of the problem. On .ru, 1 diamond is 1$, not 1ˆ. And those days it makes quite a difference. A custom avatar on .ru is 500$ = 350ˆ here. 30% cheaper. And what is true for customs avatar is true for everything - from early unit upgrades to Thieves' Guild invitation. The Russian server is simply more affordable.
I can't tell that it's problem #1, of course. But it contributes for sure to limit the donation here. Call it a psychological factor if you want, but I'm keener on giving $10 twice than ˆ10 once. |
| Still, would you spend 350ˆ for a nice avatar?????????? |
Still, would you spend 350ˆ for a nice avatar??????????
Not you, obviously ^_^
But there are LOTS of people around paying for work of art or fashion items, and of far less use than a custom game avatar... Considering the time one spends on LoWM, it's not even that impressive. Finally, it's another way of saying "thank you" to Admins for this great game. |
| many ppl doesnt rly know about this great game, and thats the problem, game has great potencial, admins should help Us to promote Lords, we can do nothing alone... |
| Yea this game is definitely among the best in free online browser games. It's just that (if you seen our ads before) we seriously need to reach out more. |

| fun game but once u get higher levels nobody plays. im lvl 7 and cant get a fair match because everybody has max ap. i say no more than 20 and peeps with 40 join. ruins game. im not gonna pay for diamond upgrades like some other tools. fun while it lasted but im gone. |
| and other game servers have 20000 on slow days. shoulod tell you something |
| i have seen an ad for lordswm before |
| all we need to do is advertise the game somehow to show the admins that we dont want the game to fail and that this server is worth paying attention too |
...soo, thats it? the solution to the economic problem was refilling the mines with gold and lowering the wages, so it takes longer until the system will brake down again, so that the admins dont have to visit this server for a longer time?
why wasnt there a correction to the new factory? shurely it cant be intended, that its offering just three work spaces. or are the overall workspaces dependant on the number of players on this server and if more players join, new places will automaticly generated in the facility?
whats going on? it looked like there is finally something happening, but it seems like the admins just baught themselves more time with the new wagues, so that they have to pay even less attention to this server.
is there anything planned for the future? if thats the case, just a small announcement would be nice. |
