Game Development: World 16, with Steam

[springyb]

Okay, I'm a little confused. I keep seeing posts suggesting that there will be two servers running concurrently. Are they both going to run off the Steam platform, or will one be running as it is now?

On November 1st, We will release one, and only one, server, running World 16, equally accessible via both the normal client, and the Steam launcher.

We plan, however, to release another new world before we reset World 16, and at that point we would have two separate servers, which will be a new experiment.

This is a really good idea

it's not funny, it's disgusting.

The one, does, in fact, not exclude the other. ^^

But please drop that communist shit, it's not funny, it's disgusting.

Yeah, The Russian Revolution of 1917 is way too soon jorb. Give people some time to heal.

Anything russian is disgusting

Russians are the same people as everyone else, speaking of disgust, and Europeans in this case are not disgusting when they began to colonize North and South America while destroying a large number of the indigenous population. And the fact that the United States dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, destroying many ordinary people, is it not disgusting? You can write a lot about how many things only the United States, which in fact are former Europeans, has done. And many other nations did all sorts of shit at the time, isn't it disgusting. Even now, people still haven't gotten smarter... Instead of uniting into one human empire in which there will be no people with great power. Conflicts will continue until each person decides for himself that it's time for humanity to step over all this shit

Is the cash shop going to be more expensive on Steam? (since they take a cut)

good question

Some screenshots from W15. Not sure if larpy enough for you >_>

Instead of uniting into one human empire in which there will be no people with great power

If there is no external Enemy, how would ultra-rich continue fooling the rest of the people into giving up 90+% of the planet's riches to them?

If it wasn't for Russia, even today most of EU administration would have been without a job (in the mildest of outcomes) for what they've done to economy.

What kind of "addressing", more precisely, is it that you'd like to see?

My main issue, personally, and I think what you're going to hear a lot of after launching to steam, is that knowing that there are players who are getting the same rewards as you (or, generally, better rewards because you can time/optimize things better with automation,) basically without Playing The Game cheapens much of the sense of accomplishment/progression, leaving larping as roughly the only gratifying thing left.

I play this game on my own pace since W7, and this is the first time I 100% sympathize with someone's idea. This game has 2 strong aspects: Combat and Larping; you need to have some sort of knowledge of the combat system in order to progress in the game, and its really interesting to be honest, but when you start to think that everyone else will eventually surpass you because they have automated everything and its just a matter of time until they character is 100x stronger than yours and you have zero chance to actually be competitive you start to lose interest in the combat system at all and the only thing left to find some contentment is the larping system.

I know a lot of people only play this game because its very beautiful and ''eye candy'' on its own way, that's the reason we often see people repeatedly asking for non pvp servers or private servers, so they can enjoy the good part of the game without the unfair bullshit you have to endure if you want to play it.

I myself will be playing next world with the same idea I always had, I endure the disgusting part of the game where I have to fight for my own survival in order to after a couple months enjoy some larping and eye candy on my village, why? I don't know but gives me a litle bit of joy and sense of satisfaction, but to be honest I doubt that someone new, especially steam players will have that same will.

This game already has so much things that you need to learn in order to simply keep playing that the person needs to be really motivated to keep going, and veterans that have 15 years of experience PLUS their automation bots that are solely playing this to kill noobs to satisfy their own desires? aint helping. I don't see this game prevailing on steam for a long time because every new player will just give up and flood with bad reviews regarding this, but yet somehow the devs clearly find it ''funny'' and even stated that on their last stream ''it is what it is''.

I booked my leave from work, hopefully the servers don't constantly crash with all the new Steam players joining
