looks like we keep losing players...
1 year ago at 13.15 server time there could easily be 900-1000 players online but nowadays its worse.
My question is: Will this server eventually die? |
| i think yes if empire doeshnt advertise a litle this game this game will not have future |
| nope |
| i think yes |
| Hmm,i thought that also and gave some ideas too.But were rejected.They were really bored because there are no events for newbies except survival tourneys.So gettin little bored,they went.And even I see many players quit of their will and some go when they are really in a situation to go permanently out of lords.I think it needs an advertisement or a little announcement. |
| yes i am too getting bored to game and its very likely that in 2years i'm not playing anymore.. |

| As long as there are players, the server won't die. But it's true, the online numbers drop. When I started with the game, it was 1200-1300. |
more player will be online when there is event.
when demon war, player online can reach 1400 - 1600 !
maybe should join to facebook for more player ? |
| I guess for players like me, who don't do pvp . . . the number of Players does not really bother that much . . . =P |
more players online is faster trigger of the ambush
but apart from that, indeed, it does not matter much.
But perhaps, if we had 10k online as well, we would have just as many events as .ru Then it matters :) |
Simple maths/logic:
Number of blocked players > Number of new players who stays in the game = less and less players.
Just an elementary mathematical observation. Not saying if this is good or bad. |
| But perhaps, if we had 10k online as well, we would have just as many events as .ruyes we would and thats why this sucks.. |
Well,
I dont really mind that this server has not so much events as .ru
But the biggest problem (for me) is that you never know what will happen and when.
For EXAMPLE if you know that in three months from now we get a war that will last four weeks. Then you can already start buying some elements and enchant artifacts. Now you log in one day and suddenly the war has started and there is no time left to enchant anything anymore. Yes you can make them in front, but then you level up and blabla.
Same things with castles,if you switch to another faction and build the entire castle for ~1.2M then maybe five days later we get another faction event and entire castle is 15% discount....
Because i think everyone of us was hoarding gold in the past to save up for either dwarf war or dwarf castle. And then we were disappointed it didnt came.
If we just knew in advance it wouldnt come for xx months, it would be less of a problem for me.
It would also make it a lot easier to spend your gold wisely. |
| Yeahh .. from my experience .. event comes, players come .. :) |
Number of blocked players > Number of new players who stays in the game = less and less players.
Indeed. And, this game is the first that you can't have brothers playing in the same computer, 'cause if u have, you will be blocked :(
But the biggest problem (for me) is that you never know what will happen and when.
Well, our server don't have any events, or admins (just Lexa). We just have survival tournament. This is the best game, in my opinion, but still can be better. Maybe, someday :/ |
| well still summer in alot of european countries. i only do labour and some hunts now and then. ocasionally a few mercs or gb. |
Number of blocked players > Number of new players who stays in the game = less and less players.
I'm not really sure it's true...
The real problem in my opinion is to keep new players in game, many of them quit game on low level. I have 89 in my invitation program, only 1 is still playing.
Events can't attract new layers because to know about events you should already have an account, but it can help to keep in game low levels... |
I have 89 in my invitation program, only 1 is still playing.
My longest referral streak that never made it to level two is 38 :P
Everything together made 10,33% it to lev2
Besides all those people that quit at level 1 (most with either 0 or 1 battle)
There is also a major group that doesnt even register.
From all the new players that see this site, i think ~20% regisers, if 10% of that makes it to level 2, it is only 2% of all new people.
And a major part of those 2% wont even make it far past the 2. |
I don't think our server can handle many players anyway...whenever there were even 1400 players online this game would start to lag.
They could keep a steady average of 1k players though with a dedicated administrative assistant for our server to handle problems. That would be a great start :)
Upgrading the server to handle more players can always happen later. |
