| Author | [Q]server dead again? |
|---|
| Hehe...the game is only free to play because of the Donors that pay for it. |
Well I don't know what is the arrangement with ubisoft, but maybe the mods are advised to keep .com version of this game below the radar. Because, maybe, ubisoft is planing to release a world wide browser game based on homm. And, maybe, this game is already developed. And, maybe, it is already released in France as beta. And, maybe, this new game is more like travian then like lords, but I don't know about this (if it is then there shouldn't be a problem, because they are two different games).
Maybe this is the reason why this game is still considered as a non-commercial project, and all the payment are donations.
And no, this game is not dead. |
but maybe the creators of the game are advised to keep .com version of this game below the radar.
Sorry for the double post. |
if its the problem with law or with ubisoft then why dont they mention it? and if it would be true then we would got no update cause of law problems
and once again i will say, we are not whining, not complaining or attacking admins or Arctic, its a discussion, about game and future, what we expect.
Maybe i did bad name of topic, but there is many great posts, and thats what i wanted
still if someone can, then lets try to organise, debate with admins and Arctic, and if its possible then lets type in forum some ppl who will talk for Us |
There has been another thread running alongside this one with similar topics. However I feel that it (the other) has become another useless and biased rant against mods. However, some of the information there is useful for what you are asking. Consider my posts in the thread given below. Posts #49 or 50, I believe.

Beyond that I think the issue is moot. |
| it looks like, ppl started to talk, and good maybe its the chance for better future of the server |
for dziadu:
Players talking with other players give about nothing. What we need is the administration to move down and come talk with the population, us. :) |
i think 1 of the greatest problem for high lvl is: What should i do now?Enroll and then?
TGI:Impossible caravans so it's like 40 defeats and 1 victory...then 50 defeats and 1 victory
Hunts:did so many that now they are impossible
MG:same as hunts
PvP:only possible choice but not rewarding...only exp and fsp...what should a lvl 14 guy do with exp and fsp?lvl 15 and such are really far far far in the future...no pvp torunaments(and btw some factions would rule and others would suck)no pve events(dwarf war)...
This has been my concern too. I'm Level 11 and I've been slowing down on Hunts, Ambushes & Mercenary Quests because I see many higher level players quitting because the battles get impossible. Maybe the developers should increase the Talent points for higher level players so they can have a chance of winning some of those impossible battles. |
| or create stronger arts? i still think some longterm event is very needed, and like 7hg lvl should increase not 1atk but 2, same as 6 mercenary not 1 primary skill but 2 |

it' not 4-5 atk bonus that will allow you to defeat 1000+ angels or stuff like that XD |
Torrim there is 9 arts, if one of them got 1 atk then believe me 9 atk is rly strong and gives much power and will get us some time to kill impossible hunts nowadays, waiting for some next levels or upgrades
btw, how many hunts U did that 4-5atk isnt much for You? i think its rly good to have it, and example with angels isnt good, btw now high lvl arts give some melee power now its 7%, maybe new arts could have 15? or super hunter set which will give us more power for hunts |

Still so many ppl with hope...
So naive...:) |
I'd like to add my side of story here... a single player. Nobody really important.
I started as someone of you guys gave me his ref. and said please make it to first level so I can get some gold. Well as I really enjoyed HOMM I stayed here. Did enrolls, hunts, PvP... leveled up. Started merc quests, rented TGI and a couple months passed. I got to 1000th enroll. That is probably the time when I got bored. A friend of mine quit. And another. I thought turn came to me. Instead I stayed a bit an it was amazing. I played thru nightmares and christmass events which were awesome. On long term workaholics, thieving and enchanting updates made future not so bright. They promised us dwarf and clan wars and this is the only reason I stay here. My bonds with other people here are not so strong to prevent me from leaving.
So how long should I wait. Another month? Maybe. Maybe I'll leave before that.
What makes this game not so fantastic? As I played travian a lot I can compare those two.
First... this game does not end. When there is no end there is no goal and dynamics get slowed to minimum. What if we would get 2-3 wars and 5-10 events within one or two years and then server would restart? What if somebody started late or was complete noob and wants another chance? A chance where his/hers name is on top of best players list, how is that possible here?
Second... Clans suck big time. What is the point? It makes 2-3 people per clan miserable as they try their best to keep people in... honest players. Motivate them. Train them... and for what? There are no between clan activities... no wars. In another game people want to get into clans for protection. Clans are made even before server start so a group of people dominate part of map from the start.
Third... if enough of high level players leave and mid level players stop with donation server will close. An exclusive .ru server will not survive too long after that since even there new players don't join in mass numbers and old players start to leave out of boredom. Not listening to gamers backfires... sure. All that it takes for both servers to shut down is a new game to rise which provides more fun. So far this is the best thing next to orig. HOMM pvp sessions. I hope for the sake of us all here... that both servers keep running... that admins find a way to please us and keep us here. |
as I said in another topic:

grrrrrrr......
nwm - as I said in another topic:
as I see this problem:
enjoy the ride as long as it last as much as you can....
this is online service without legal obligations to anyone, so take it or leave it...
for now I still enjoy it, for how long dunno... but it's worth my spare time (so far) |
So much have been said. I don't feel good about that all. It's sad to see administrators of this beautiful game making business mistakes. This project still has a great potential. Just enlarge the staff, so many volunteers.
Another thing is, players need a goal. For now, I don't really know what to do in the game and I don't think it's just my problem. Why would I do hundreds of merc quests in order to get elements and use them for what? For better hunting records? 1000 zombies, 2000 zombies, 3000 zombies? Why? Hunts, quests, thieving should be just supplement activities in the shadow of game events. But today, many players are making them their goal. PvP is practically dead. Maybe I slow down a pace again, same as last year, I wasn't here more than half of it. I really don't envy lvl 14 people, I regret them. The game should be prepared minimally two levels ahead of the best player. That, plus more communication and attention(events) and players will be willing to donate again. |
