They can not offer free game play that gets close to being competetive with paid/subscription. That would remove the incentive to pay. I am afraid that their 14 hours per week for ever after one time payment of 15$ is an offer that is too good. That cat is out of the bag though, and taking it back would cause much anguish. A very good offer for casuals like me.

Thats why I said double both, silly. Those that paid get maby 21-28 hours a week. But any more and it would run to much on those that pay for the game and play 10+ hours a day or so. Yes jorb has told them to play less lol. But they are paying to play that much.

It be saying they should add some of the q speeding items as a token people could buy that upgrades there account weekly, just for a possible +2 to there farming random chance. Yes weekly so it cuts out even free players ect... Might as well drain every ounce ut of some of the players.

The game should honestly be a lot more popular than it is. I think the main problem is most people are probably unaware of it's existence.

Pretty much. Little bit of advertising here and there now they have some $$$ coming in wouldn't hurt Id guess. Game needs more people.

Theres reason why 166380 users have registered but so few still play it :lol:
But i do agree that no one knows about this game. Theres no advertisement or anything anywhere. Absolutely no way for people to find this.

My thinking has always been that either the game is good enough to spread by word of mouth, or it isn't good enough.

The thing is, the game is good enough. Its that most the people that play the game dont exactly spread it around on multiple forums that they may be apart of.

I've been watching the player numbers very closely. They went from 350-600 to 250-450 in a month or so. You are definitely bleeding players.

IMO the game isn't ready for advertising yet, because there is a crucial question that's been here since '09 and there hasn't been a hint of a good answer so far, and that question is siege. It's a cornerstone of the game, and as such sets the tone for the whole game. No sense in advertising if you don't know what you're advertising.

You cant compare amount of players on release. Of course MANY players will check game out at reelase if they know about it. Those amounts cant be compared to currently playing amounts. You cant say "hey, we have less players now than we had at first day after game was released, this menas we are going to bankrupt soon!"
People like you should just be banned from forums and all posts deleted. You dont even have proper arguments to support what you say. Its hard to make game that 100% of players that try it like.
