Join the new world

It appears I somehow missed the battle of Lion king it is not like this game has my full attention I understand there are claims that we are low on gold because of that battle. I think that is interesting and certainly a large part of it because we spent gold. I tend to think of battle reaching an equilibrium. and being a function of availability of gold instead of the other way around. I would have guessed that The admins tweeked the gold finds. You can tell that the price in gold of products and therefore labor took a plunge recently. Technically I think it was before beta testing was started. All along there have been calls to save up some for Beta. I don't know how much is related to Beta in this world but saving up gold now appears to influence how much gold you will have in Beta.

All that said There is nothing about Beta of the early game that looks like what we can expect from the new version of the game. In this world there is as always and maybe even more so long term planning in this Erep world and there is no tomorrow in that game. In this game after looking at that game we feel a need to save in this world. There are new ways to suck gold out of players but those consequences are masked behind 100 gold payouts to every citizen and organization from a magic save point probably about 2 weeks ago. It is also masked by the fact that there is no tommorow or consequences that are long term. I expect though unless the admins tweek the treasure finds the game will really dry up the gold quickly.

The game is taking a definite change of direction. We are about to enter a game that appears to double the effects of what we experienced when we welcomed lana to the game.

The game was a laid back game where you do so much and you did all you could. and you explored the world and engaged in conversations and tried to as a group change your world through the limited means available to you.

This game is becoming an irretrievable sausage fest. The admins have picked their audience perhaps wisely perhaps not. I am a guy and don't pretend that I don't like barely clothed women but don't engage in displaying it. The game was independent of this and it was mainly for a self policing mature base. If someone puts up a bikini ad I could at least claim that it wasn't the game just some players with poor discretion. Maybe the ratio of men and women won't change but the ratio of people who don't mind playing in front of their families will. The game itself seems to be based around hotties and doesn't mind making reference to them as whores. The most expensive thing in the game seems to be going to bed? really? something that you do every day gives you that much happiness and costs 12 gold. Really? If that is not the free option is is a lewd joke.

This game has always had rolls for people who wanted to spend more time playing. As I talked about instead of going the route of research and administration of a citizen who follows orders built into the game the game is built around many time wasting tasks that advance a person economically by direct action in real time. A person cannot properly play this game without their presence If they are not here now they are not playing. Though I have not fought much it appears that this is simply increased many times by the new war module. and Version 2 will be competing with more advanced games for the people who want to have their life sucked out of them for money.
