| Author | Why .com is not successful? |
|---|
I would like to understand what are your thoughts about this.
I mean, on .ru there >10000 players (and practically only russian-speakers play there), on an english server we are barely >1000 (ten times less for a language that is spoken alnost everywhere!!!).
I do not think that the lack of event is the only cause, not even the major one ... especially new-comers will have plenty of things to do before getting bored.
If I compare this game with all the others I played so far (and are many I can tell you), there is only one that I still play after more than a year (I cannot tell the name but I restart a new server every about 10 months), and especially thereare very few that are so well structured and so nice to play ...
so again my initial question:
why do you think .com is not successful? |
| maybe, when people see the the battle grid they think it's very boring..that's what happened to me... |
i got the same thinkings like you, its the only game im still playing after long long time
why is not successful?
-no advertise
-no events [if only event even little one is ON then players online grow]
-we had more players but no attention from admins, total zero
-supermods are punishing in a bad way using emotions |
the thing is new players join and enjoy but old players leave because not many events and getting bored because nothing new 2 do
U see when ever there is event going on no of online increases as people enjoy new things so there is need of events lets hope there is 1 in X'mas |
This is very simple:
1) No advertisment at all = very few people will found this game(friends advices, random link on some forum for gamers, etc)
2) No administration activity(no updates, PvP tournaments, events, wars) = those few newcomers will leave this game after few month of boring routine. |
Imo this game is by far the best game Ive played.
Why is not successful? good question.
Maybe ( Im not sure ) there are less games in russian language and too much in english, so there is a big rivalry.
Maybe creating languages specific forums could help.
I mean create subforums with French, Spanish, German, Portuguese etc forums where players not well skilled in english ( as myself ) can post his question and receive help in his own language.
it's a shame that this game does not have the success you deserve.
Why I think this is the best game?
- Is almost cheater free due to the transfer log system.
- If you want to stop playing 1 or 2 months you can retun in the same point you previously leave. ( in other games if you leave the game 3 days when you return your account is annihilated )
- You can play the time you have / you want. ( It is not necessary play 8 hours daily to be a good player )
- and many many more reasons. |
-we had more players but no attention from admins, total zero
-supermods are punishing in a bad way using emotions |
Must agree with dziadu but order for me is different:
1) Attention from admins is total zero - so if player stays here for lets 1-2 months and sees that admins don t post here they will leave.
2) Supermods who ban you by their belif(invent rules on their own) - they can do it again cause of admins who can t speak English. And when you even look at some of their profiles you will understand how arrogant they are...
3) Bad advertise
4) No events |
why do you think .com is not successful?
the answer is simple. the game is boring!!
not coz of lack of events but coz of lack of participation!! -_-' |

| I went afk for about three months because there was nothing to do, i loved them necromancer things. A way this is losing members is adverts. |

I think money is the main reason.for an avrage gamer..he neeeds a game to realx and give him thrill..I agree that money is an imp. aspect of any RPG.but most of the game depending on money is not good.there shld be more innovative,quicker ways of earning money..i mean in the current system we can earn money easily by writing a code,but it is boring for any new player.and the multiplier for LG have become worse (though the admin said it was for a greater good..there has been no action).I am not whining..just expressing my opinion |
Boring...

| On .ru there have been 4 official announcements from admins with game changes in the last 8 days. On .com the last time we heard from admins was October 31. In the last 1 month on .ru there have been 2 doubles tournaments,A major Cooperative PVE event (similar to demon or undead event here) and 4x4 auto group battles event in addition to the survival tournaments. On .com we have had nothing but survival tourneys for months. Its clear why .com is not successfull. It is not for lack of potential. For some reason the game creators/Admins just are not that interested in .com. If .com had half the attention that .ru had it would be my favorite game ever. Even with out admin attention I still love and play the game. I have accepted that .com is what it is and will continue playing it and having fun with what I can for now. I have also started playing on .ru and had alot of fun especially with the knights of the sun event, but even with all the activity on .ru there is still a language barrier to work through so .com is my server of choice. |
I agree with the ideas mentioned above
What reaally 'grinds my gears' on this game is:
Apparanent idiocy of administrating staff, this game could be so much better and draw in huge revenue but it appears the admins are just not interested
No adverts this is a big deal for drawing in new players
Lack of variety, everyday on LWM is essentially the same, we don't get nice little surprises such as increased fsp day or double enroll gold day etc, kill a certain monster day and so on
Levels 1 and 2 need to be more exciting, as we know 90% of players take one look at this game and think whoaa this is definitely not for me and scarper off to play WoW, mafia wars or just play on their xbox
Lack of events is not as apparent as it once was but is recieveing more attention than ever because as a collective community we are just growing tired of this over time. I myself am reaching the borders of my tolerance but just have to put on a brave face and get on with it. The typical 'oh your fed up eh?' 'so why don't you leave and quit whining?' is most certainly not the answer
'Supermods' - For me this is definitely a problem and I feel that rules in chat and forums are very negatively enforced rather than offering guidance to most cases who just break rules because they don't know otherwise. (ignorance is not a valid excuse however) But I feel the moderating staff have been behaving themselves a lot better over the last few months and we have not had too many forum flare ups. I think this is especially unnaceptable when people report cheaters and are BANNED for not following obligotary complaint form and layout, I consider this outrageous.
To add to this there must be a new way to report cheaters which allows players to submit a simple report from a list of drop down options that can be reviewed easily by admnistration. I'm fed up with the aggro I recieve for reporting players without an anonymous alias and having to justify myself to them.
The LG cuts well we all know they hit hard and it can make saving up appear very daunting indeed. I have spent the last 2 years saving for castles and such but such is life.
I think this game should offer more of an incentive for PvP and commander's guild to make it seem more attractive and accesible to all.
This game has so much potential and it is a dire, dire shame to see most of that go to waste. |
| tbh no one can afford there to be more then 3 tournaments a year. |
| umm i meant events... |
