Indeed, these are all issues we face because of lack of players.  Else we'd all be happier

Trust me, Mods/Devs are actively trying to help with this.  Even Stefan is on board again!

Kmon buddy stop being negative and apply
We'll be starting the round nezt wednesday, or thursday as muzh late.

a kaos round, 2 weeks and insane starting rezz, that would be right imo, my steup will be ready for nezt wednesday, or I kan delay it a bit more, but 4 weeks on another stuff people will lose the interest in this.

sigh...

Leave it to mods to [] one of the better ideas up.  I mean when was tje last time you guys saw the community so positive about a fresh idea?

Renders idea ftw. I'll be around to lead a fam

cmon, lets go render. you have more names to add to the list

Render put your adress down i will buy you a cheapo keyboard. Ffs man....

remember some players dont use the forums .

we need this back up as galactic news in tri

/me cheers on render
this is gunna be awesome

"Yes, I am to an extent.  First of all, I don't "plan" anything.  I suggest.  It's not in my authority to plan and make changes of this nature.  In any case, everyone knows theres differences in playstyle between PW and MW, noone argues with this either..  The same is true For Andromeda and Triangulum.   However, as a Dev, I see it as my job to look at the bigger picture here.  I try to think on what's good for the overall game.  Can I always be right?  No, ofcourse not.  I just share my opinion and why I think so.  And this is one of those things.  With specific regards to PW players, ofcourse they'll have this resentment of merging.  If there were only 10 players left in IC, 5 from PW 5 from MW, they STILL wouldn't want to merge and would rather continue playing their own playstyles.  Is this necessarily the best way forward? No, personally, I don't think so."

i'm sorry Torq but i really have to take issue with you here. it seems that maybe you still dont understand. you say as a dev its your job to look at the bigger picture which its obvious to me that you're not at all. and you also claim that pw players have a resentment of merging which is also incorrect.
there is no resentment. what there is tho is a passionate response to a 'bigger picture' being forced (it seems) onto them. and where is the bigger picture when you lump everyone into the same place? having the 2 galaxies provides people with good choices to suit their circumstances at the time. mw is obviously a galaxy for real hc players who like to have their fun a bit more intensely than those that prefer pw with shorter rounds, smaller families and a lighter atmosphere.
yes we have been losing players but we still have a reasonable and playable core player base for both galaxies. there's a silly saying that goes 'if it aint broke then dont fix it'. well ic aint broke yet, just a bit dented. to attract more players, one of the things we'll need is a bit of variety.
us players can see that, which is a good part of the reason why we fight so hard to keep pw. not thru resentment but for survival

Well if you want to have different types ie ss hardcore, ss normal etc then have different gals for those & let people play all they want. Then if you want to play mw & pw (normal fam gals) restrict that to VIP

If people complain about past names being used for them, rename them

Lets see, I say we need variety, but also say t's a luxury we can't afford right now - so you call me silly?

Then you say you say we don't have enough players for the other two galaxies, Andro and Tri, so you're okay with not having them going.  Yet it's a requirement to always have PW going?

And then lets add to the fact that you say it's good for newer players to come into Pinwheel, where you can help guide and instruct them, yet Render has said that if his idea goes through, any new players might have to go to Milky Way?

Yep, your logic is sound indeed.
