Your current perception of the game as a whole

[Sarevok]

My perception, gonna be negative, but I'll give it anyway.

One of the largest problems I see, is not necessarily lack of new players, or old ones leaving.
New accounts WILL take MINIMUM 11 MONTHS to catch up to being fully ascended. Not including resource gathering to ascend. Seriously, if you were joining a game, and you KNEW it would take 11 months to get the same bonuses as others, would you stick around?

The second largest, is the cash market. This devalues time played to other things. If you work part time, in Australia, I could deliver pizza's for $20/hour. I work a min 2 hour shift, get $40. Can buy Naq at $0.15/T. 267T for 2 hours at work. How many people can say they can farm 250T+ every 2 hours.

Finally, there is no new accounts being created (barely). Most are ones bought that are more highly ascended. So there is no new ones. If someone leaves and doesn't sell, then the pool of fully ascended accounts diminishes, along with possible players to use those accounts. Since it takes so long to catch up, buying is almost the only option

That's why 2 weeks time limit of ascension should be removed between first ascension and LG+4. Along with the fact it should gradually increase the G&R:
to Prior 100
to Prophet 200
to Messiah 300
to Incarnate 400
to Living God 500
to Living God 600
to Living God 700
to Living God 800
to Living God 900
to Ancient God 1000 (and remains 1000 until TUK)

I proposed to remove LG+1 to LG+3 and go straight from LG to LG+4 without changing bonuses, which would make ascension number down to 20, but apparently coding problems were mentioned.

What do you think?

@Legendary Apophis:
Would still take 1/2 a year, yes, less than the 11 months I mentioned, but still. It should really just go back to how it was, you got the resources and G&R? Great, Ascend.
That way, if you can stay in the 5G&R range the whole ascension process, it would take you a little over 3 months. Better than 6 months, and WAY better than 11.

Anyway, most of this discussion should be in the suggestions section, not discussed in this theread

You obviously don't know the cheat code... Up, down, left, right, right, right, left, up, up and up

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)

Too true >.<
