So, with recent updates to ascended, and more discussion than ever before regarding it. What direction do you think the game will take, and which do you want it to take?
This thread is purely to feed my curiosity, and can be full with as much meaningful speculation as you like, just dont spam.
A few things i think that this could end up resulting in.
Main game introducing changes to make it get the same sort of liveliness currently seen being produced in ascended.
Ascended becoming more of an attraction than the main game itself
Ascended having more links created between it and the main server to introduce ascended as a sort of battlegrounds for the main game.
Again, all just speculation, but as the game seems to be somewhat as a crossroads, which directions do you think it possible to take?

Re: Your current perception of the game as a whole
yeah im sick of main really, i mean the naq and uu are so cheap now everyone can just buy a ton and dominate, rather than the old days when only a few people paid for naq and uu
i like ascended much more, sol has added a new level to it with the tournements which has been done very well so everyone can compete on an even level

Re: Your current perception of the game as a whole
playing ostrich on ascended.. not sold on demigods .. never was a great planet fan either.. ignoring tournaments until I get my acc how I want it.
I don't want to see ascended become more main like, I liked ascended how it was :/
heard and not sure if its true that descending someone no longer causes them to lose their bonuses on main.. hope that's not true else what's the point of killing them now?
Shame the war of attrition feature never got sorted on main, that would have been good to see..

Re: Your current perception of the game as a whole
Seven year old servers are always going to struggle where creating new strategy in amongst the same old game mechanics is concerned.
It is really good to hear(read) all the positivity coming from the developments on the ascension server. It is literally breathing new life into a game that was also as stale as main, before Sol took to the ladders with his proverbial brush.
As a retired main player who is now a keen Quantum player (for the simple reason that it brings about change each era in new and novel ways) I would like to see some of the bracketed same for the main server. Sol can be quoted as (or at least alluding to) showing interest in doing some dev work there as he has with the ascension server. That would certainly be a welcomed move, at least in my book and I would hope in others' too, to bring about some fresh ideas and hopefully drag back older players but more importantly bring about NEW ones.
Can't say much more than that.
Good topic CJ.

This issue should be held under Admin responsibility, not on users. We all that we can do, it's to talk about their updates & feature brought to the game, and if we like it, to play with it, if not, play beach volley with some hot girl /and with boys if you are a girl.

I believe as both customer and product to Kingdom games, that we ought to have some say in the development of the game. However, this thread also serves the purpose of discussing updates and features brought to the game.
So urm, WTH is the point of your post?

Re: Your current perception of the game as a whole
the point is:
This Thread, in my opinion, it's Pointless.
We have a game. We have Updates. If we like them, we play. If not, we won't.
also, we are no customer of anyone, we are TooLs. Understand the word as it's written.
Updates get critics every time, in their own topics. But, in the end, who cares about our opinion?
No one. At least, not Admins.
We are not kids. Try to see the whole picture, not only what's reveal and pointed to be look at.

Re: Your current perception of the game as a whole
The only problem with the main server is colliding ego's..
In short, wars never ending, because some alliance leaders will never admit when they've been bested. (Not directed at anyone in particular but the community as a whole, this has happened with just about every none-friendly war)
IMO before this game can begin to grow again, the alliance war system needs to be looked at again and re-worked. The M.E. system for it and the winner/loser scores need to be reworked. An auto-war system needs to be employed after so many hits between alliance members, with an automatic temporary NAP placed for a certain amount of time after the war is ended.
I don't have time to get into this further right now, as I'm gone until Sunday, 20 mins from now.

I tiptoe through the corridor
I follow you anywhere
I rip your braveness apart
And never ever care

There are groups of alliance leaders working with each other now, not so much to avoid never ending wars, but putting aside the bitterness that has festered for so long..until this happens, nothing will make a difference, i am encouraged about the direction we are headed.

Re: Your current perception of the game as a whole
The game will keep heading towards a player decline, that's just natural. The best we can do now is enjoy this game as much as possible with the people we have, and in that regard I believe we've made some big improvements as of late.

If I win the lotto i'll buy this game and delete it to see the $$ spenders cry. That's my perception of it at present - a joke.

Re: Your current perception of the game as a whole
It would be nice to see this happen, even if it wasn't server wide but some of the biggest contributers to the game and wars etc losing their bitterness and concentrtating on the fun side of wars and not worrying about image or losing wars.Jedi~Tank wrote:Kikaz wrote:The only problem with the main server is colliding ego's..
