| Author | few little payers nowadays? |
|---|
for example, see my combat log: i battle now as few as possible! i only battle (hunt) that i can enroll without getting work penalty.
in the earlier part i played a lot of GB, tournaments, thiefs, mercs, hunts and even the annoying quest i did :D
but now i am sick of unfair GB (Description: "min. ap pls" doesnt work, Afk's) and i have no money for full art GB, thiefs and difficult hunts...
this is one of my reasons why i dont play any battle at the moment, and i love this game, so what do you think what players do they dont like the game that much? they leave.
it cant be that a new player must enroll daily 10 times for 5 years to get all the staff he want (estate, TGI, etc.) |
| The admins obviously never meant this game to be played full time. If you do nothing else, you'll burn out in a few weeks. If you have a real job and enroll on your coffee breaks and do battles after work, you might get very far. Just my theory... |

100% agreed. |
| @102. That's what I do. |
| it might also help if we vote on those top xxx online games, or if we would even get for instance 1000 gold if we did. |
@ 100
Does it matters if it is 700k or 900k?
Well....ummm, yes it kind of does matter. A 200k difference is huge. I agree that admin's intentions are never fully known to us, and thus selling a TGI at 700k might be considered financial assist (even if we know it's 'legal'). But we can still safely sell one for about 800k, or even as low as 750k without fear of retribution.
Some people here affirmed that there is no minimum price...
Some "admins" have affirmed that there is in fact a minimum price (even if they might change this 'minimum price' in the near future). I choose to take the word of the game creators and developers, instead of the word of 'some people' :D
The link that confirms the minimum price of a TGI is 700k was present in a thread in the "Miscellaneous" section but last time I checked I couldn't find it. Most likely a moderator deleted it for being off-topic. I'd be very grateful if someone could pm me the lost link :)
it's one of the many rules, the admins want people to buy diamonds but the result is that its less fun for some players.
Sad but true...

To be fair, having a TGI or an estate or even those ultra rare arts aren't a must for enjoying this game. Sure, it will increase the whole gaming experience, but this is a great game as it is for even non-paying players :) |
@SwitchBlad3
you're right. but it would be cool if there would be more peoples. then they could add dwarft faction and make the map bigger as i saw it in russian server. and you dont need to fear not to get an assist in hunt if there are more players and it would help for forming group battles and commanders guild which is actually dead at the moment. :)
@102-104
very well when you like it as it is. but the thread topic is: "few little payers nowadays?".
so it doesnt help at all if you just say it's allright. we are talking about possible reasons, why there are so few players in here. but maybe you play not enough to see that there are no players in commanders guild for example. |
| Just asking, is it possible to merge com and ru servers to be one bilingual (russian and english) server? I dont know would majority of players wont that, but just asking is it possible to do it? |
for The_Cimmerian:
That has been brought up many times. But aside from the technical issues in merging the servers, there are the practical issues as well. What language should the forums use? Both? Separate the forums? Oh wait, we have that now.
What about the interface? I guess that could use 2 languages even though it would be slightly messy.
Then what about the flash aspects about the game? Admins need to redo all those to display both languages.
And then lastly do players just use whatever language they want?
All the above issues and more just makes merging the servers but still using 2 languages just highly impractical. It is much easier to keep 2 separate servers. |
@ SwitchBlad3
Sure i report right, at right forum and information and battle log and chracter...
hahahahaha, sure i know do a simple report... my god... |
I find it more than a little silly that people seriously think things like "it's impossible to make records now" will discourage new players. Apart from a few of these whining epeen hunters, 99% of people don't give a flip about records.
Even sillier is when they complain that they don't have enough money to get full arts for records, TGI, and fullart battles each battle. Heloooo, be realistic, it's impossible to get absolutely everything at once in this or any other game. Want hunt records? Spend all money on arts/enchants. Want Thief guild? Save money for TGI. Not all at once. Doesn't work that way. |

Actually in some ways records are easier now. I have hunting friends who still make the top record and then beat their own record 2-3 times more, so their record is over 100% higher than the 2nd place record.
Obviously I'm not a hunter with my 0 medals, but I care about the high records because it distorts the difficulty rating. I remember how I could beat "red!" with min arts before. Then the most I could do was "red"... then "yellow".... and eventually I could only beat "white" hunts. Now I'm finding that many "white" hunts of old creatures aren't winnable either. |

01-13-11 05:56: Received 595200 Gold from Empire : Force refund of TGI cost.
01-08-11 07:33: Sold item: "Thief invitation" [1/1] for 104750 gold to NIMASAMADI7 as lot #2109968. Commission: 1048
03-07-11 12:33: Player was imposed a penalty of 1 gold. // NIMASAMADI7, financial assist (01-08-11 07:33: Sold item: "Thief invitation" [1/1] for 104750 gold to NIMASAMADI7 as lot #2109968). warning
So why was he still punished/warned two months later if it was a mistake? |
for mageof10:
Cause the player used the TGI and was unable to return it. Also the CaA post needed to be made and then for admins to read it. |
| So he was punished/warned because admins didn't bother to read the forum and because he made a mistake? |
Well, I think that the rewards should be in proportion to the costs. White hunts are do-able with min apps; however, red ones which require apps cost more per hunt. Min apps at lvl6 will be 65 gold/battle- this increases to anywhere around 250 gold per battle if arts are used. If you get 110 gold per hunt, you lose money by hunting! And in MG the problem is worse. You get arts for the quest, and then complete a difficult one, and get 85 gold for it. The elements are few and far between. I spend 40000 gold for arts for a tournament, and won it, and the prize was 23000 gold or so. True, those arts are good for another 5 tournaments but not if I reach another level- which I have.
The balance of payments suck. I think every MG should have 500 gold at least, and every hunt 200. |

ya thanks. i said that. it's my opinion, not needed to insult me. and as you said its at least a reason for 1% of the players not to play. it's one of several points i said.
but Berserkas, our omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent milord, all-knowing master of the world, mighty ruler of knowledge and sageness, please my lord, we bag you to tell us the real reasons for a "few little players nowadays"? |
First of, as the all-knowing master of the world, mighty ruler of knowledge and sageness, i must say that few little players nowadays is a mess of a sentence, gramatically.
Lessee here...
Advertisements for Russian server: 100%
Advertisements for English server: 0%
This thread, page 4. I think i found this game through an advertisement in another game. However, i haven't seen any ads for LWM anywhere in a long time. Other than that, i don't think there's anything wrong with the game itself. |
