Re: E-mail all registered emails when a round is set up..

So basicly when a round is up and you can join you get an email about it. That way we might attract more players.

This should really be something for the hardcore/icc/icpg kinds of set ups. Im sure a lot of old players wants to come back for those.

So how about it? Just put a little box somewhere to say "no thanks no more emails" or something..

my only true enemy is my ego.

Re: E-mail all registered emails when a round is set up..

That will be done, but first we have things to be done.

If players come back, but leave after few days there is no point. And if they come back for nothing they may be lost forever.

-New server was maybe the most important thing, because over 100k accounts have been created, so if 2-3% players are back that's already a lot of players. We could not welcome them with a game lagging al day long.

We also have to consider the reasons why they left:

They didn't like nap breaks, farming, graphics, bugs, the time they needed to be online, difficultty to understand the game...

-new system of relation relation page that is in place for some months now and has been ameliorated recently by developper fixed 90% of nap breaks

-farming has been fixed a bit with the the 35% rule, but we still have to work on that

-graphics: That will never be a 3D game but maybe we could do it a bit more attractive visually. If some players are skilled for that, they could propose their skills. Anyway among the players that liked the game, I don't think that it's the most important thing to change. Maybe we could just interest the players that created an account and didnt even try it because they didnt find it attractive visually.

-bugs: we made lot of changes last months, we need time to test them and see the bugs to fix

-time spent on IC: Mass building was a major change, mass sending aid another little step, maybe we could see for mass expoing, mass sending fleet, fam bank in a page everyone or some players can access, email alert when u suscribe to some event, better hot list, filters on pages etc...

-difficulty to understand the game: bring back a kind of Virgo? bring back mentors? do a starting guide for new players in main languages (your help may be needed here as well).
We could also remove some things from the game that are not necessary to enjoy it, but just make it more difficult for new players.

Doing all that will take some weeks/months, but when it will be done we will be ready to welcome back old players, that they played it some years, 1-2 rounds or 5 mn

Ill give u a heads up tho, I'd prolly leave if this game got graphically over the top tongue
So if this does happen, ALWAYS, keep that option in preferences to turn off graphics wink

Re: E-mail all registered emails when a round is set up..

Maybe a slighly more sci fi look with background pictures.

We dont need any animations or anything graphic wise.

A guide in someone his main language is a bad idea, waste of time. If you can't speak, read or understand english than this game is not for you.


Work on the farmining thing. 35% aint good enough.
