I may not be playing right now but I have put my time in. It is not a matter of breaking down a wall it is the matter of ONCE that wall is broken having some person come in and ruin all you worked for destroy it and having to start over completely. I am just curious, do you expect to bring in new players? And if so what do you think you have to offer? If it is nothing more than to work up a plot and a character to have them destroyed while you are offline then hehe I reckon we will be where we are today with the number of players playing.
Dude, I've been playing for over two months. I'm a newbie in all regards, and let me just say: if you play smart, your chances of getting killed are very, very slim (though the fact that it could happen makes the game pretty tense and fun

). Now, I was once not too crazy about the PK system myself, but that's only because I wish people were making warfare more, but while some things about the game sound bad in theory, in practice, they actually work quite well. I can tell you're getting a little worked up because this game is almost what you want it to be, but it's easy to let a lot of the negativity that goes on in the forum get to your head. I'm not trying to hurt your feelings or anything, but play the game nowadays and you'll find it's actually quite enjoyable.
Well spoken. It is a shame more people can not speak on these forums with an ounce of maturity. This game does have a lot of good things going it's way. But it also has a ton of flaws too. Just because I have not played for a while does not mean I am ill informed. Sure I may not know the ins and outs as I did back when I played, but that should not automatically throw out what I have to say as just gibberish either.
Well, if I were in John's shoes I'd be reacting the same way. If he was just some money-hungry jackass, he wouldn't be in here defending his game with such ferver. The reason he does is because he actually gives a ****, the game is his baby, which is why I respect him more than almost every single other game developer out there. Just try to be a little more sensitive to that

. Again, I'm speaking as a neutral party; not trying to insult you or anything, just clear the air.
