ROFL - 11%
Wager most of that when everyone was fully committed to playing it. Rumor was one of the Statues was inside a town that wasn't friendly with Darworth or any T3 Witch.
Immaterial really... if the Witch wins only the Witch will get animals; but for the general population to win... at the currently play levels on that server... a decade is not unreasonable. Oiled boards aren't created in 12 hours!
JC will have to nerf drying times... ( like with a drying shed store item I suggested some months back ) or lower requirements, etc...
I still don't understand why he bothered with animal mechanics when it will never be realistically realized. I get some diehards will never jump ship for HnH wanna-be or clone games that are coming out... but getting more population?
I digress...
Running folks off on a whim as OP is suggesting is suicide for the game. Whatever population it has needs to be cherished... I suspect that's why JC made the changes he did to the raiding rules; purposely because of the all the other games coming out... knowing full well there's never been but a small population of raiders here and lots of carebears that spend money.
The raiders alone are not enough on their own to support the game (and development). JC did say the most robust players weren't spenders did he not?
And why would care bears who do spend money stick around with so many other games to play?
Think it over.
I'm still here b/c I played pre-wipe and I really like it. And it's still cheaper than starting from scatch elsewhere... b
ut not everyone [has an account that] started playing in 2013~
