the worst thing is that one morning we all gonna wake up type lordswm.com and see error 404
that's more likely than
the admins are planning a merge between .com and .ru some time in the spring |
the game as it is, but just refill the artifact shop please :P
and some PvP tourneys won't hurt too
+1
My problem is that I want to fight vs players in GBs and there's
nobody to join, I dont care about events as much as others do. |

Or most likely, only players with CGI will be transferred 'FREELY' (lolz...) to .ru
With current admins behavior, this makes much more sense. |
CG1? what does that have to do with anything.
But #21 sums it up nicely lol |
It is more and more clear to all of us (including admins) that this game can not remain like this for a long time.
So they can either close the server, merge it somehow with .ru (although I doubt this will ever happen) or pay someone (maybe Artic? ) to administrate this server and grow to it's true potential. |
| I have two characters on the Russian Server but I seldom play over there because the Russian players are very rude and uncivil to English speaking (and writing) players, especially Americans. I have just had it with their boorish, bullying behavior. |

I meant Unique Character Image (UCI)
How best to extor... I mean to encourage people to donate real money to this very well maintained server with rewarding role-play, story and gameplay... 500 diamonds lolz.. how many months can a Russian live on that 'donation' from players of English-speaking (usually richer) countries... lolz |

For Zephyranna:
It's natural that people who don't know another language may be rude to you. There are different people both in Russia and US (good and evil).
Though by the rules of com and ru it is forbidden and punished any signs of abuse according to national, religious or racial reasons.
But I think on ru and on com there are enough decent people to play with and those rude and uncivil are more exceptions than rule. Don't pay attention to some barbarian (not racial but moral:) behaviour of some people... |
I registered on ru around 2009 and allthough i play not much there i ve never met a rude person. Of course some people that dont understand english but nothing google translate cant manage for both of us.
In fact i even got some really nice help from high level players in form of infos, character builds and learning some tactics.
Also i dont know how hard it could be to merge these servers. I mean our characters have how many digital infos on the data base? Dont know, perhaps 30? Even when its 50 how hard could it be to read them out and write them in ru data base?!
And most of the translations of english language we have allready here. The missing can easily made with volunteers which i bet are alot here and on ru.
Dont get me wrong, i m no programmer in any way so perhaps there are other difficulties i dont see.
Besides i love it here and will play here till the doors are shut. And this is probably not another ru thread.
Just my 2 cents |
Sure that merge the servers could be done but I see two tecnical problems.
Transfer data character is not a problem but whar about...
1- Duplicate character names. Sure that .ru and .com have players with exact nickname so what will have priority? Maybe add a .com to the end of the name ?
2- Duplicate battles. Here we have milions of battles war.php id=xxxxxx but sure in .ru exist the same id so if we loose our flash battles and we try to review a battle our id will point to the .ru battle id not the right .com id.
But sure these are minor problems and if merge is done we will have a huge potential. |
The game has no updates, no events, no tournaments.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing. I stopped playing for over a year and I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't miss out on a lot of things when I came back. While some people would make a big deal out of this, I personally wouldn't complain about it. I find it somewhat comforting that you could remain competitive on this game even if you take a long vacation from the Empire for whatever reason. I'll just find something else to do when I get bored again and pick it up later when I get bored with the other thing that I do.
Also, updates on this game aren't always welcome. Man, I remember the time they introduced the AP rule...
Questioning: Do we need the game as it is?
Change and variety is always (?) a good thing but the game already has a solid foundation that guarantees players coming. The only thing that would probably close down this game is if someone else would start another game based on the Heroes universe. |
For Grusharaburas: in one word what you've said is STAGNATION of the game.
Stagnation led to the collapse of the Soviet Union if you know history a little bit:) |

This isn't a country where real people starve and die. It's just one of the many diversions out there. Players come and go. Some go quietly while others make a huge drama production before quitting. You are not going to die if the admins don't do another tournament or event. That just leaves you more time to do something else. In a way, a "stagnant" game is actually conducive to healthy living. XD |

Sounds like a fairy tale to me though. |

A bit out of context
A merge will both have pro and cons, dunno if it will be good or not. Depends a lot on how it is done.
and for this thread, the question you ask is personal not colletive.
Find out if you need the game and then quit or stay depending on your result.
Cannot see what you wanna accomplish with this thread. Let does of us that are enjoying the game, enjoy it |
Let's forgot one minute about us who played actively the game. Let's think about what newcomers think when they create accounte here (com) and play for a while.
If they see more news on the login page they will be intrigued and read about it. Then he will join event/tourney/whatever new is in game and be captivated slowly by game. If there were no news for weeks the player will be bored soon and leave. I'm sure there are plenty of free incitant free games out there. Unless is a fan of HoMM series he didn't have too much reasons to stay here (as it is now).
If somehow the player finds out that another 'mirror' of this game exists (ru) and there admins are very active (and they are same admins for com too!) the player either migrate on ru or become inactive here.
What motive i have to bring more people to a game as it is now? They'll find almost no reason to stay and i'll be blamed for their lost time.
Some of you have right, is a good thing for us, because we have time for personal life too, but in terms of game it could be much better than now.
PS: my stats from #4 post was for the last 7 months |
As for me it is strange that people say: I was not in the game for a year or several months - then returned. Wow, I did not miss anything important. I understand this as this game is so unimportant that one can be out a huge period of time and not miss anything important - So the question should arise: what is the sense to return to game if nothing important takes place here?
It is the evaluation of the admins' work - they did not do anything important for this period! Or as I've said evaluation of their attitude (maybe, repeat maybe - this server is so unimportant for them that they don't bother doing anything here).
Actually i would like to see the post of administration representative who would confirm or deny my own opinion of their work at this server. |

Not really a problem if you think it's strange. What's "important" to you may not be "important" to the some and some players set goals that the rest of community may not understand or appreciate. Hell, I've seen some players get humiliated because they tried to accomplish things that regular players would think of doing.

They paid whoever is running the server that runs the game. That is the most "important" thing for me. And they had a couple of events last year that actually kept me busy. What would you consider "important?" |
| Only if the two servers are united will players find interest in this game. The best way to do this would be to place areas from .com next to the areas on .ru and expand the map. we can't be <1000 players online and search for 20 minutes for hunt assist and cg battles... |
