If we all just left the game. Things would have to change then.

Just don't log in, and come back in a couple months.

Try it out. Go play the multitude of other, better games out there.

Or read a book.

Or go out with some friends.

We stay here because we keep hoping the next admin change might make the game better. But I would argue I have never seen a change that made the game significantly better since I joined (early V1). /oldfag

But we won't. We'll stay here till the game dies with a wimper.

Like runescape. Thank goodness I missed that game.

just to play devil's advocate...

isn't this the time to start playing seriously? that is united and committed to kicking ass and retaking eusa regions? that seems to be the message in 90% of the articles i've seen in the past few weeks.

no one seems to be saying out-right that we all have to buy $500 RL in gold to burn in battles (then again, i'm not in a military unit) but clicking a handful of times a day doesn't seem to be too much to ask.

but you have a very good point. this game certainly means different things to different people. taking a step back and looking all this in perspective does seem justified at times.

I used to write those types of articles, but after seeing how retarded this new war module is, there really isn't any point. It's all about how much strength one side has versus another, seeing how weapons are now in oversupply and there is little to no strategy involved in war.

The point isn't not supporting the eUS or any one nation, it's to not support the game itself. The game used to have a variety of interesting game functions in it, but they have all been phased out for one reason or another.

The idea is a free market styled one; if we don't play the game (the customer not buying the product) then the admins have to change it (the seller modifying his product). if we continue playing it, they will always have the final say on what they want the game to look like, either out of their own view of how it should be or whatever is the easiest way to run a game (a prime example being the abolition of contracts).

And they saw that we're all just a bunch of sissies after they shut up the last major protest with a shit ton of free bonuses to everyone. It's a prisoner's dilemma.
