| Author | Townhall Meeting: Ask the Admins |
|---|
| Are you planning to introduce magic school level 4 on this server and why didn't you introduce the second level 1 nature spell? | | Could admin specify the event start time and end time in all future announcement? | I have heard rumors of trouble with Ubisoft and am not surprised, given the similarities between certain aspects of this game and Heroes of Might and Magic V, especially as Ubisoft plans to release an online HoMM V soon.
Is this a thing to be concerned over, and could it force serious changes or even a shutdown here?
Secondly, if that were to happen, would it become possible to transfer our characters to the .ru server?
Thank you for your time. | I love this game and im sure that there are lots of players who love it as much as i do.. i dont want to start asking questions like "when there will be events" or "when will be this or that" all i want to ask of you is a chance to let us help you.
( by us i mean players who care about this game ).
dont get me wrong i dont mean getting more power in game or some sort of superiority, what im asking is giving me the chance to contribute to something i really like and want to see grow .
i hope my msg get translated, and by the way, thanks for letting us express what we have in mind to the admins of this great game. | Do you realise the potential of an international server, I mean seriously from a business aspect surely you see the potential.
I don't go to the russian server often because it upsets me to see how much they have that we dont have here but I hear you are peaking around 15,000 players online. Thats a russian server. English is one of the main world languages why cant you see what this server could become... | R we goin to have any minor tourneys ever?
Have u thought in introducin the option to transfer character to .ru? | Thank you for making a wonderful free game. Many people have donated money to help, many people have stopped donating money because they are scared this server will be shut down.
If you could do just one thing for this server it should be the *Enforcement of game rules*. To many people are cheating and nothing is done about it.
Here are some other things that would be a great benefit to this game and the community.
1. A sign that you (Admin) still care about us (LWM.com) once in awhile. Just posting Hello on the forum every couple months would be good. Even better would be a town hall meeting like this every 30, 60 or 90 days.
2. Keeping us up to date with .ru instead of throwing all their updates for the past year at us in one batch.
3. Multiple mini events, like the nightmare event on Halloween. Nice little surprises that are not much trouble make players very happy.
4. Maintenance warnings. Let us know if work is being done that might cause lag or other problems, players would be much more understanding and can decide if they want to risk getting disconnected from battles or card games.
5. If a big event (2nd birthday) is going to last less than 24 hours the start and end time should be posted prior to the event. If not posted all events should last a minimum of 24 hours since people from around the world play.
6. More things .ru gets, tournaments, events, artifacts, Admin attention.
LWM.com has much less players than .ru, but only the die hard, or very loyal, players are left here. Many people have quite because they do not want to invest time in a game they are unsure of admins commitment to. If you give us half the attention you give .ru this server will grow steady and can easily grow bigger than .ru
Many people here have the desire to see this happen and are willing to help in any way they can. We just need you to give the opportunity to make it happen. | Just posting a "The Minutes" commentary up till now: Players’ Questions seem to be within the following categories:
Punishing cheaters (3)
Aide from the community (3)
Improvements to the game or Server (15)
Better/More administration from the Admins (8)
Merging the servers (6)
If you have more questions, now is the time to ask them. ;) | Why cant u just split the admin group like 5 on .com and 5 on .ru (example)
and if they not can english its time to learn a litle in this age. | could you (the admins) generaly talk a bit about this servers futur? i'm sure you have some plans with it - even if that may be: "keep it as it is".
we might miss some important data if just questions are answered and we simply miss a critical question.
still: i have some specific questions:
1.
is arctic the only person that will ever directly tend to this server?
2.
what will happen if arctic stopps doing that job?
3.
why the secrecy: we aren't informed of comming updates or the server's futur (at least until now), arctic comes and leaves without a word, facilitys get refilled without note and so on. you - or at least someone - seems to be present from time to time, but there is never a information about this. why?
is it realy a language-problem? even a short word would give us the feeling that we still count for you.
3.b
do you realise that people fear for the server's futur because of this? that people left the game just because our officials rarely let us "feel" them?
3.c
do you know that we are generally not so happy with the progress on .com (compared to .ru)?
this is a serious question: i wonder if you realise that we often feel like the unloved child here - or do you just stopp by irregularely, fix a little thing and leave again without reading in the forum and get a feel for our situation.
4.
a lot of stuff already seems to be done at .ru. that would be easely implemented on .com (like elementals in hunts). why does it take so long? isn't there just a small amount of translation needed, something a dedicated person can do in a few hours, maybe even minutes? (i'm not familiar with the work needed).
5.
do you think about changing the entire situation? or will we always be the little unloved brother?
6.
a long time ago i heard (from valid sources) that there was a plan for an event that would span over both servers. is that plan still in your minds?
7.
why did you approve for the townhall meeting? what are your intentions with it? was it just a "payment" for Skunder?
8.
why didn't YOU come up a long time ago with the idea of a townhall meeting? | | | Where is roulette password? This year no password? | I'd like first to thanks the creators of this game which is one of the best browser game I've ever played.
I however have a question about game dynamics :
from lvl 1-8, there are ever more things to do : you discover hunts, group battles, talents, magic, new units, thief guild, etc. You can switch (quite) easily from faction, learn bits of smithing and enchanting, do quite plenty of things.
From lvl 9 and further, things to do tend to be scarcer : switching faction is more difficult (more expensive and opponents have high FSP), hunts tend to become impossible, you reach a point were 1/4 ambush is possible, you understand you'll hardly ever become a good smith/enchanter due to price, talent points are rare,there are fewer group battles and they can easily last for over an hour.
Hence the question : is there anything planned to give higher-lvl player some more things to do ? Much things are possible, besides events, like managing production facilities, creating their own merc guild, defending territories against thief, etc ?
Thx for holding this townhall meeting ! | Topic: Raising the limits on secondary characters.
After playing so many games, I dared say that LWM has a very good game concept compared to some other games that I played before. However, I would like the game administrator to consider raising the limits on secondary characters from the current 2 to 3. (excluding the main)(Actually, I wanted more, like 1 account for each faction. However, you know what they say, you must never be greedy.)
You see, certain faction has a certain pattern of parameter points allocation, like orc tends to focus their parameters points on attack and wizard tends to focus on spell power and knowledge. Even though we are allowed to change faction, we are not allowed to reset and change the parameters points according to what is best for our new faction.
There quite a number of factions here and I want to try playing all of them without having to go through the process of changing the faction and also to abandon my previous faction after training the character so much to accumulate so many faction skills points and build so many structures.
Even if the reset of the parameter skills points after changing faction is implemented, not many people would like to abandon their hard work and start anew. Therefore, raising the limits on secondary characters is very much appreciated. | Errors in previous post:

Pardon me for being clumsy in my spelling and grammer. | 1. Most mods are inactive. The only mod hub that can recruit more if needed is the forums mods. How and when are you going to deal with this problem as well as certain mods over stepping their authority ?
2. What are your plans for the jury members who have been idle since they were recruited ?
3. I am sure alot of people would like this question answered. Why not have certain people designated as assistant admins to help with blocking cheaters and scammers which have plagued our server greatly in the last few months?
4. Only one active Keeper . Are you planning on selecting more ?
5. The rules ( forum, chat, general ) are broad in their definition. Do you plan on revising said rules with more clarification ? ( some rules are self explanatory).
There have been many complaints that " mailing secretary, insults ) do no good. How to you plan do deal with this problem so that issues are taken care of quickly ? | | When .com is a server that can serve the whole world (English) then why do you prefer RU where only russians can be served? | | Is it not much to ask for a simple "Hello" from you admins. | Personally I feel there are two main issues on this server. The first is lack of information and involvement from the admins which only you can deal with. The second is the increased activity by Cheats:
In October last year you/Arctic set up special "juries" teams to deal with this. One of these teams consisting of myself (DEATHisNEAR), Modi, Halvspak, Zarebrant & God5end successfully dealt with quite a few hundred cheats during October and November 2009. This was done by many hours of investigation and preparation of reports which were then passed to Arctic for fines and/or blocks to be imposed. Arctic told me the other team was basically inactive as their contact, cepruyc, was not online. All this "juries" work was put on hold at the end of November as Arctic also became unavailable.
Question 1) Will you be resuming action to stop these cheats (who gain an unfair advantage due to access to the best artifacts and enchanments funded by their cheating) and Scammer (who do the same but are also worse as they steal accounts, gold, resources, artifacts, etc from other honest players)?
On 18th December you created a new admin clan: #591 LWM - Juries - https://www.lordswm.com/clan_info.php?id=7591 - Currently only myself and Halvspak are still active.
Question 2) Will you allow the juries to resume this work and either have Arctic resume his duties or assign a new admin contact to forward reports to for actions to be taken?
The only real problem the "juries" had in doing these reports was that they needed frequent input from Arctic to run IP checks to indentify which were additional characters and which were financial assistance. I was told by Arctic that IP checking was not allowed directly to "juries" because of the privacy and confidentially issues of keeping players IP addresses private. I asked if a "new" utility could be created which would show which users shared an IP address but WITHOUT displaying the actual IP.
Question 3) Is it possible that this could be done?
I also had a mail translated into Russain and sent to all admin characters on .com & .ru. This was sent on around 8th April. This contained much more information on this issue and a few requests/possible solutions.
Question 4) Would it be possible for me to have a response to this mail? | You gave us one big update in November 2009 and a few minor updates in the following months including this last one.
On the russian server the events we were looking forward (e.g. war against dwarves) took place BEFORE the november update. Is it technically still possible to implement all these events on .com server or would they first need a recoding or reprogramming (apart from translation russian -> english) because of all the newer updates? |
