First and above all, I would like to thank Jason for setting up this game as this is what this topic is all about ;)

I've been playing the game for almost 2 years now. The only reason I am still playing it, is because I still enjoy it.

Every 3 months or so, there is a major cheat trying to ruin the game and even if it might take a while, Jason is always around to work on improving the game and keeping it a fun place for the players and the community.

There have been players (and/or cheaters) talking crap about Jason, spreading rumours trying to make people believe Jason was corrupt... and what not

Anyone can imagine how frustrating it is when someone is trying to sabotage your work, regardless of what it is you are doing.

I just think from time to time it is nice to know that people appreciate your work and this particular case the good times and opportunities you are giving people. This isn't only a game, it is also a community and without it many many people would have never met, whether it was just in game or even in person.

My guess is (and it is only a guess) that this game started as a hobby low or no budget production kind of thing and slowly turned into a business. And anyone who has ever had anything to do with software or game development in their life, knows that code isn't like wine getting better with the years... it's more like OMG what the hell was I thinking when I coded that or OMG where the hell does this bug come from? I haven't seen it in years and it should have been fixed back when I took care of that other bug... ;)

So thanks Jason for keeping the game alive.

Yes, the game is a business for you and you are earning money with it but what people tend to forget is that they don't have to pay for it. It is still free for everyone. And yet people are complaining and complaining, or what's even worse, trying to work against the game.

Just thought, it's time for a positive feedback :)





And yes, mods, you do have permission to sticky this topic :P :P :P

Agreed. So many of these games fail due to bad management and other problems that sgw doesn't have :D

Hear Hear. You do a brilliant job at the game. Unfortunate that people try to ruin it though... although you always bring it back on its feet.

Well done Jason :-D
