| Author | We desperately need more Admins |
|---|
Obviously, we need more admins for the visible problems:
Ban cheaters
But we also need them for another problem I raised somewhere else and had hoped would receive support from the Mods (but most did not lend that support, some did, thankfully):
To help stimulate multi-player activities (Group battles)
---
What I propose is that the admins give the people that care about this aspect of the game access to an account that has every level/non-diamond-building-advantage so that they can stimulate multi-player efforts. We would need the most active GB players to sign up for this new position since it clearly is not in a moderator's job descriptoin to promote this aspect of the game.
I get complaints all the time about the lack of PvP available for people, and many compliments from spectators about "how great" my battles are and how they wish they could have the same thing.
Whenever things go awry, you can go with the flow and let them fall to pieces. Or you do something about it. The Lake is running out of fishes? Bring in some more, hope that they'll mate, and replenish. Doesn't work? Then bring in some more, and change the rules of the trade, so they have a chance to replenish...etc.
What should our objective be? To keep this server alive, and with plenty of folks interested. Contrary to what many folks say about "self-play" being great, data shows that all games with a rich multi-player environment/content retain larger audiences for longer periods of time. Those that do not, are popular for a while, and then flop.
I can name a handful of game titles that are still being played heavily because their multiplayer features are so awesome, and they are really old games, the graphics are not so great--but the gameplay and social interaction just keeps them coming back.
It would be great to add this game to that list. But in order for that to happen, someone has to care, and this new position must be created for the long-term success of this game. Lots of potential with inadaquete support that can easily be remedied with a little effort. |
| Not going to happen |
| we need one,but no one will show up in time ! |
| Actually, your problem might be the lack of pvp? For that you don't need admins. For that you don't need more than the clan where you are the leader. Why don't you organize in-clan pvp's? No prizes, no reward but the pvp's themselves. Your clan has enough members to set it for few pvp's a week at least. Why don't you take the initiative and create in-clan GBs? And if your clan doesn't have enough members and you cannot recruit more, you can write to some other clans to establish an appointment on the battle field. |
| I guess you are right, pvp should be an important game part. I started to play this game as a quick and funny heroes for 3 vs 3. Frustrated by afkers, but still good enough. Quick and funny battles are for low levels only. *sigh* |

1. I have plenty of PvP :) This is not my problem, this is a problem of the server for all levels (I'd argue) level 10 and under. I am quite happy with my level of PvP, but I am not a selfish person...I wish for ALL to have access to my quality/level of multi-player game-play.
2. Inter-clan or intra-clan battles are fine and dandy...but, once again, they do not solve the level 10 and below problem. Most of my active mates are already level 9+. It is the newer folks that complain to me...but there is little I can do with a level 12 character :)
Further, I do not have the time to make a 2nd/3rd account to level. I am a busy person. I would gladly make time to play lower level gbs with such characters IF I had access to them--as I am sure many other people that like this game would too, just to keep it moving.
If everyone is getting burned at levels 1-9 with PvP--how many people are not simply quitting the game immediately due to that fact? We need to do more to create an environment where this does not happen so much. My only solution is simply to pump 'serious' players into the lower end spectrum of things, to "raise everyone else up" to a consistent standard of enjoyment. |
litmus:
As i said before, atm there is no benefit to pvp but to have fun ONLY in GBs.
When clanwars get introduced, there is an aim/reason to crush opponents and you would not need to promote pvp (if there is no opposition LOL prepare to have Empire under Elite Warrior's control lol). Clan war is PVP and will sustain itself with great battles.
AND that is why we need an UPDATE as opposed to people who STILL (sigh) believe that our server is too small or does not need one(idiots...).

| Yes, we need updates... But I think the point in what limus said, is that while we don't have them, we mustn't lose the faith. It seems now, that many abandon this game, because there are no updates. They get demoralized by reading the forum. Somehow we should encourage players to stay, play GB-s, and not to cheat... Well. If anyone reads this, and wants a GB with me.. just Pm. :) |
| I think the only thinh we really and desperately need is a link between us an the russian speaking admins, like the good artic was. Or something like a local admin. |
| yes we need some link - at least someone who will make some announcments or bring some news - like (in this month nothing will happen), or in next month are planned update (that and that) |
Finally someone noticed that PvP would keep this game alive.
And I know THE BEST way to do it. :)

In short, give the option to "fight in PvP without combat experience (but with fsp)" and you will surely see a big activity (in all levels), I promise.
Just give it for one month and there will be at least 10 times more battles in PvP (I'm sure). |
| yeah..winning the admin's trust is just a child's play.. |

Robai, Robai... Still trying to find a way to play this game without reaching level 7 ?? XD |
No winning admin trust is a difficult task. And to be a local admin would be even more difficult. But we desperately need a local admin that can translate and implement the developements used in .ru, organise tournament, approve clans and keep under control cheaters. It has been months since the last improve.

Sorry i've postet with my add popponia.
:( |
| The main thing a new Admin would be most helpful here is getting rid of all the cheaters and there are hundreds of them,and they just keep doing it because no one cares enough to stop them.It is ruining the economy for the rest of us that play honestly.All the cheaters are funneling all the money to their main accounts and then going back to work in the good paying jobs to make even more money for the main accounts.If Half the cheaters were gone more money would be avaliable to the rest of us |
i dont understand this - you cannot call nyone for a idiot in forum - you get ban, but cheating is OK in this server... (by allowing to others cheat all honest ppl who donate real money are really disapointed...) why i need to spend real money if i can cheat and NOTHING will happen to me??/
That`s really sucs...
We dont need so many formum admins - get lost. better do somthing usefull!!! Like ban - block real cheaters!!!! |
for Mr_eee:
There are no forum admin. Only forum Moderators. All moderators can only ban, not block. The closest is the Keepers, which can fine for battle violations.
Only the admin can block and stop cheaters.
And please be nice. Thank You |
So did Keepers can fine players?
then easy - ppl report and he will fine 2xcheated money amount?
soory did not mean insult moderators, did not know your options...
but please do somthing with cheaters!!! |
for Mr_eee:
Only for battle violations... And nothing else.
Only admin can do anything with cheaters, so please stay on topic. |
