[POLL] Do you want to play on a new server?

[Claeyt]

If player numbers head further down the drain, there is nothing stopping the devs from wiping everything. Preferably there will be only one server and new servers added only if the first one gets too crowded.

200 people and 30,000 accounts (or whatever the hell it's up to) is too many for one server. We're still bigger or equal to when they split the servers.

You forget that 100+ pros created many accounts... one for farming, few for trading, few more for spying, some for transporting and alt storage and one to rule them all... I mean few for murder alts
of course you should make x3 for everything I wrote.

I was def not saying there was 30,000 people who had ever made accounts. I'd say the average player has at least 3 accounts. so maybe 10,000 people have tried it and there are maybe 200 people on every day, and another 300 casuals who play more on the weekend. Maybe more.

Maybe more.

Maybe less.

Zero interest in a restart. Our faction would quit the game with a restart/wipe and I'm sure many ACTIVE players (not idiot trolls like staxjax/colesie/dallane who have not been a factor in Salem for 5 months) would quit the game as well.

Why do you ask?

Changes are coming so slowly, the game went back months in development with the purity nerf. Anyone that has actively raided in the last two months knows how overpowered defenses are. With the current system 20 braziers HV's will become impregnable fortresses for years to come. You can make a character off 0% purity foods to 150 biles in a couple of weeks. Or you can spend hundreds and hundreds, probably thousand+ hours grinding this crap with 0% humus on a fresh server for a 200 bile character. There are NO game motivations to try out ANY of this backwards nonsense industry additions. A wipe in the games current state will be a bunch of un-raidable towns and claims with an un-fun piece of **** farming/industry system. People don't understand, NO ONE will be able to dominate the server there will be NO PvP or sieges because NO ONE will have characters able to tank more than 3 braziers.

Yeah Candy Gang has 'titan' characters but it's the only reason we are still playing. Production facilities have been untouched for almost a month now, no one plays the game outside of making raid food and rangering. The worst thing is, most of the people crying about a server restart are terribad forum posters that suck at the game to begin with and just troll on the forums. They wouldn't even play on a server restart.

Yeah losing titans characters on two servers would be a bit detrimental. I however would still continue to play. Nice try on a troll chief

We need new server...

I'm pretty much new to the game and only reading the forum, so I don't know who you are.
but too me you sound like the fat ugly three-year-old that was ordered to share his chocolate with the other kids.


as for the topic:
the combination of 'ever lasting' progression and perma death makes it rather hard and frustrating for new players.
now of course that's what we are here for.

but imagine a new player who gets killed by a raider, he may think "wow i want to become as strong as him" maybe to defend, maybe to go raiding himself.
yet if he clicks the forum he will pretty soon find out that he actually can't ever reach this point.
now I'm pretty sure he won't be very motivated anymore, for this status is as far away from skill-based or strategy-based as it could possibly ever get.

I don't think the problem is newbies being unable to catch up with the big guys. I think it is quite possible now, with enough skill and effort.
The bigger problem, imo, is starting playing when "big guys" are already present, ruling factions are crystalized, very high purities have been reached and most of the world is mapped. It's hard to play when the big guys can raze your place within minutes, and due to the lack of challenges - they will do it out of boredom.

Give it a try. There is no catching up lol

Who cares if the titans quit, you will be replaced... its funny you think that just because you have been playing this game so long, that no other players will replace you. This game has 0 advertising and I see new players joining everyday. How many ppl do you think you have made quit the game from "charging players to play", to "all your base humus belong to us"?

People who have put this much time into a game, and now are saying "waaaa we will quit if we are not overpowered or players dont join our server, because they can play on "even" playing fields by joining a new server, are just as important as the players making posts saying " I quit.." and expect ppl to say Oh no! please dont go, we need your delusional opinions to keep our lives going.

You are NOT going to quit anything.. If a new server popped up you will still play, you will still think that having overpowered characters is something "cool" and that you somehow deserve some kind of respect because you started the game before other players. From what I can tell the titans dont offer much of a benefit to keeping them around... the mechanics they used to create those characters are not viable and most of the time they do more overall harm to the general community than good.

Oh well we lose 10 15 ppl combined from two servers, I would imagine that they cause WAY more grief to new players, forcing them to quit before they have a chance to test the game. Titans seem to think that this is a good thing because it shows how "stronk" they are.. but its just ruining the game before new players get a chance to enjoy themselves.

Case in point: The player named Mcgovern was under the assumption that other players were cheating because his base defenses did absolutely nothing to a titan character, and said character had no problem trolling this player hard enough to get banned and the quit the game. I admit the guy was retarded but this shows what kind of "help" these ppl are giving to the community.. I hope you all quit, I think playing a game with a huge advantage over other players, makes you a ***** (not a tight one either, very loose), but hey if you cant get it in real life, might as well act like one on the interwebz.. Epeen is so important these days!

lol "We will quit your beta test.. rawrrr!" <-------------thats some funny **** right there.

Yeah you got that booming player population to back that crying tldr post up.
