I disagree that the general opinion of the playerbase should be consulted and asked about changes especially in this stage of the game.  Very few players left that even know the game as a whole well enough to put a balanced opinion in.   Opinions get swayed by the roles players have, with a handful of decent attackers left it gets swayed by the opinions of bankers typically.

In a perfect moderating system, the mods should be a well balanced team of experienced players who know every aspect of the game.  Allowing the game to be setup and changes to be made through balanced thinking and know what is needed and what the best routes to take are to get to fixing those needs.  That is where IC falters, Most of the mods have never been good or knowledgeable about one aspect of the game nonetheless the game as a whole.  They rather have people who are nice but know little.

Allowing Bad player base opinions sway unknowlegable mod decisions just leads to horrible changes.

Also, when the mods made a lot of polls to ask opinions a few months back, they got bashed for not taking the bull by the horns and doing their jobs lol

The merger was 100% effective, although it doesn't beat all the great updates recently, I think that's still a better reason to leave lol.

I'd say 50% mw inaktive players (idling in PW while they try a zhanze at MW), then 25% multis and 25% real players.

Anyway, you say the modteam has a little knowledge about the game and I agree, but what do you ezpekt when the owner of the game has zero knowledge about the game??

Here lies a main purpose, make up the game for the arses, in the way, if you have ezperienzed veterans modding the game, or developing, you'd get a game even more komplikated to play for new players, diffikult to learn the ropes in some days, and right now we gotta realise 1 new player is way more valuable for Stefan than all the vets kommunity.

It's a matter of haveing a klosed sekt or a game for all (but not for the sekt).
The ideal szenario would be the vets sekt giving a warm welkome to new players and mentoring them, but that showed to be impossible thru the years bekause many vets in the game are just a bunzh of greedy assholes.

Well if the Mods had even one testicle between them then things might be different, they're just yes men that volunteer for free and give up their spare blah blah blah, good luck modding yourselves eventually.

Testudinae is right. I dont think the IC community need to be consulted as the player base is getting smaller and smaller. to be honest, it's almost impossible to have a good family anymore as there are too many inactives joining, not caring about the family's wish to thrive in ranking. Also, there is not enough attackers because there are so few of us that's really good at it to carry family to the top. Also, that can be sucky when u land in a family that has no attacker. That's why I always go with attacker race. I never liked banking anyway. I miss old days. Anyway, I think Stefan made right decision to revamp IC into new looks, hopefully to attract more players.

i am sure they r working to fix these problems...

Yeah, exactly.

PW wasn't the only galaxy that was axed. There's no more MW either. My biggest complaint about Starburst is that it's a stupid name and not even the name of any galaxy. Or even a name that makes any sense whatsoever for a galaxy. Ditto for Supernova, but at least Supernova isn't a candy.

Apparently he's working on a different game, so no, take care peeps.

you can be such a dick at times soccer
there was plenty competition in PW. the difference was mainly the way the two galaxies were played. MW was a bit more serious than PW, the rounds were longer duration than PW and the PW galaxy was still very community minded.
Neither galaxy was perfect but one was more perfect than the other for everyone
At least we had a choice ....
