1. You speak about Anti - bot auto ban system?
Becouse I dont see many bans in the pillory.

2. Server OP is studying (MA) English language so he should have no language difficulties. Had You any problems with communicating to him?[/quote]

Yes I believe Im am refering to the anti-bot system. I am also refering to the multi-accounting rule. I started playing then stopped and came back to playing this game. Your pillory isnt accurate

I am not complaining. I had 2 chars banned for multi accounting. Was I multi accounting? Yes.

I rolled a char and didnt like the race or stats I made for it, then I made a different char. Maybe you you should have a DELETE/RESET button for an account, then we dont have to accidently multi-acct.

Ref: EN Servers

I really cant believe you guys have missed this one


What do all successful EN games have in common?

Real Time Communication with staff and other players.

Integrate Chat Functions into the game browser. I am not talking about an outside link to a chatroom that has never functioned. There are 101 reasons why this is almost a must have in any successful game. You can argue, we already do that, or its not that big of a deal. Guess what... WRONG!

There is going through the motions and there is genuine real time communication with players and staff.




There are alot of points that have been made and been made well.

I just want to comment on the following:

Marketing is key to gain fresh players. That gets them in the door. Once you get them in the door, you need to keep them. There are 3 different areas that need to be addressed.

1. New Players
2. Intermediate Players
3. Very Seasoned Players

Each group has different needs and expectations.

There are alot of free mediums for advertising games
One method you can try is social networking sites like Facebook. Yes you dabble on it somewhat, just no follow through.

Create and incentive for putting a link on our facebook pages. Create real incentives for new sign-ups, additional incentives for the ones that reach a certain level. etc

What kinda incentives? Game incentives like premium days etc, be creative.

Offer Newby Packs with promo codes, so you know which mediums are most effective.

Have a mentoring/coaching program for new players. So they have a point of contact for questions.

No newby wants to be told to go post their question in the forums. AND dont ask a question that was already asked 2 years ago. Oh no dont do that! search for your answers 1st.

That may sound nice to some, but its not effective for learning. How would you like it if your school teachers said the same thing? You have a question? Well the answer is in your text book, look it up.

The problem is when you are a clueless newby, you dont know the game terminology. they havent even decided if the game is worth their time to even make a post. Im not refering to the lazy veteran who wont take time to reseach the answer. Thats a seperate issue.

Lets face it, most research indicates that only 10-20% of US game players are active in game forums.

We can go around and blame the players for the lack of success. We can blame the country they are from, we can blame alot of things.

The reality of the matter is... competition is stiff. As a player, if the game fails..we just move on. If it looks like its on it deathroes we wont waste the time to play the game.


Just my 2 cents

I'm speaking from an american perspective.

Some of the factors on new players joining:
1. Game Marketing/Promoting
2. Competition (other games)

Reasons for new players leaving:
1. Staff/Policies
2. Learning Curve

There are so many new free games out there and they spring up everyday. Some better than others. Just the same, the quality and support on quite a few are top notch. Alot of these games also advertise and market more effectively. They also have staff members that interact with the player population on a constant basis.

Based on my own personal experiance with this game. Having a staff that is not fluent in english is a big handicap during customer service interaction. In fact, I will say that this game probably falls in the bottom 20% in terms of customer service. They come across like they are ban crazy. Ive nerver heard of a game till now that banned you because it felt you tried to login to fast to many times lol, because the server lagged Too me that is ludicrus. There are other issues that I wont go into at this time. This is the feeling I got from the staff. You try to explain and ask questions as to why and how it happened. "you banned, we ban you again if you dont like it" no change mind, you banned too" Ban ban ban you banned. You complain? You banned. You dont like something? You banned. We ban you longer next time. You dont like? we permanent ban you!

Im exagerating slightly, but thats the pseudo message the seem to have sent me.

Im not trying to dictate, how and what they should do with this They are in a competitive market. If they succeed or fail is on them.

My 2 cents

I understand why alot of the old timers dont like the idea.

sorta reminds of this:

Before you had buses, back in the day, we had to walk to school in the snow barefoot, and uphill both ways lol

Ok I have been educated. I sure feel very poor now Frown
In other words if you dont have your lgo by the time your lv35 your in bad shape. Then again those are some crazy amounts for buildings... Also I noticed, trying to find cash cows past lv25 gets alot harder.

Thanks for the info everyone!

Well I do understand what your quoting..but that doesnt work on Necropolis.

Just the same if I was on underworld... I not refering to when I make ACT2 or anywhere close to that. Im refering to what I will be spending the next 6 months or 1-2 years trying to get to act 2.

I do see your point about merging in underworld..so some of the less desirable stuff has a purpose after all. I have no idea about the formulas to get there, but I guess thats a learning curve thing.


Thanks

So Much Impractical gear 08-04-2010 23:33 Forum: Game system


Hi everyone. Im a noob to this game, but a veteran of many. I just wanted to include my 2 cents about what a fresh set of eyes has observed so far.

Most of you veteran die hard players have adapted to the game in its present form and reject changesor different ideas...mostly because you payed your dues to get where you are at and endured all the shortcomings and still excelled.

Overall I really enjoy this game, There are too few post-apocalyptic games. I like rpgs with guns Smile

Now for the complaints...

Whats with the equipment/weapons/gear? It appears over 50% or more is worthless. Why? The level requirements are too high for the type of wpn/gear it is, when there are far more better items out there to use instead. Or some of the items has one insane requirement for use..like 70+ appearance. This make using the item impractical for the gain it gives.

I personaly think alot of the gear needs a realistic overhaul on requirements to concide with the gain it gives. or just take it out the system!

Thanks for letting me vent...

I dont think n00bs shouldnt need lgo help building their Squares 08-01-2010 19:18 Forum: Mishmash


Hiyas

Im probably one of the newest nooblets. So I have about 2.1mil lgo atm at level 7. Thats 109 pieces of junk and Im am lv7.

Do the newer building cost alot more? Where does the cash crunch come in at?
This seemed to be alot more than I thought I would need. Thinking lgo is almost worthlest in the game, based on cost of everything Im running into to.

Gear in shops
Quests costs
Building costs

Do people use this in auctions? It appears its maily items or stones everyone wants and not junk imho. I could be wrong.

Confused
