Why people leave online games

Day 2,538, 06:36 • Published in Ireland Ireland • by Releasethe Krakken

With the soon to be departure of Iain Keers its struck me again that people is never really truthful with themselves. So this is just a theory.

Looking at myself the reasons I quit games was
1. I would be wiped and it would take me months of late nights and calling upon worhtless allies to defend my towns against a bigger opponent.

I put forward my job which was partially true as that game did take a lot of working time from me.

2. Old eRepublik was just so difficult to gain a grip and it would take ages to reach an good level. Also war module was very repetitive and it took ages to regather energy to fight again.

3. The West I was perma banned for breaking rules that did not exist. Basically it was an established rule town forums was the moderating duty of the town leaders. Basically for harassing a few moderators there i was perma banned for "working against the community" But I was the top of the pile anyway and was getting fed up with a scrapbooking trend that started there due to need for a bigger revenue stream. About 15 times sometimes what one would pay here.



But looking at eIreland I see a disturbing trend. A kind of herd mentality has evolved where people now want to be associated and grouped with as they call themselves "orc". I merely planted the orc seed. Now if we go further this herd mentality has a lot of things that actually makes the game more boring for the orcs.

1. It stiffles individuality. Name one person who came up with any ideas that they didnt borrow or steal from me or that is able to entertain us truly or that even can differ with the accepted viewpoint or projected viewpoint. For what they do is project viewpoints onto herd mentality.

a. Never say anything bad about the leader. Cob never mentioned Macedonia as the main priority for the campaign until after its conclusion. Never ever was Macedonia in anyway a priority. After our short skirmish and embarrassing defeat due to the poor organisation and structure of our combined armies: Cob who is mostly to blame for it needed a crutch to pull her up out of the muck she created. Ahhh Macedonia was able to free a region which was never a priority except for Macedonia itself. Disprove me be by providing links to articles asking for help for Macedonia from non Macedonian countries. Germany quit. Germans don't tolerate fools and the top structure of Aurora is stuffed with them

b. The same old leaders much forever hold top positions.

C. Enemies is always wrong even when we have no facts to discount what they are saying. If an allegation is made you need to bring counter facts and if its not factual counter arguments to the table. Clerics always back up what they say with facts which is discredited but never with actual facts.

d. Anyone can become a leader as long as he do what is expected of him by non leaders.

2. Our efforts is praised even though they mostly suck.

3. Because of herd mentality certain structures is left untouched such as the Irish Army and IRC supply channel. This means that much needed change is effectively killed off and when a positive change such as Training Ground payouts is done illegal methods is used to minimize the positive effect for honest players whilst dishonest players profit. A good example is when I placed a job offer higher than the rest of Ireland multies was used to fill the slots who never worked again . For your convenience I place the screenshot as well as links to profiles.

Both players who have never worked a stitch .

left hand member so I guess we can safely say COB's multie.

4. eIreland and its properties belong to the herd. Much is done to profit their accounts when regions is rented etc. They also hold all the monies belonging to Ireland for themselves.


EVERYTHING IS COMING UP ROSES WHY DO PPL LEAVE THEN

Reason 1 is that people gets tired of the repetitiveness of the game. Players is propagating that the economy is not working which is bollocks. So people concentrate on fighting. When a player is 10 steps ahead of you and you just never achieve the top a player drifts in a perpetual mediocrity.

The wonderful life that it seems they have created with their herd now seems a repetition of the same old day. Strength train ,work. Fight almost never.

Reason 2: INBREEDING CAUSES WEAKNESS

Our current system is nothing but political inbreeding : Mof is repeated, MOD is repeated, MOC is repeated, MOE is repeated CP is chosen from a small list. People is not chosen on their strengths. Also change is discouraged. Eireland therefore baths in its own blood continuously becoming weaker and weaker as much needed change is worked AGAINST. The same old ideas is adopted by new leaders and propagated as if its the truth. In the system of the politically inbre😛 the number of ideas is diminished and diminished until is left only a few truths. Problems created is like a true inbred ignored. Why is there no money poured in supply articles?

Change required is: An effective in game supply line
:full financial reports and debate and empowering of individual player.
: developing a multitude of players with different strengths. MILITARY, ECOMOMICS , DIPLOMACY must be encouraged.

If everyone has 1 strategy we have all the same strengths and our strengths is growing at the same pace and in queue remains the same.

STRENGTH TRAINING IS not UBER alles.

In Tribal Wars I developed mega stripped down towns with massive forces. Other players just developed fully developed towns . Although I would send supplies from rich towns the second weaker policy worked much better.

ATM after building up a mega industry Im now fully strength training and has now rank 37 up quite a lot. I will double my strength come year end.

And I have more money than other players . Ultimately over time I will reach the number 1 spot in strength as well.

Grinding is what gets you there.

And i GET NOW +10% DAMAGE on any hit.

But coming back to the others and putting a Twist in my sobriety it has come time to encourage MANY PATHS

MANY PATHS


What is this. Its very easy every player must be encouraged to BE individuals. Individuality must be encouraged . The herd must be disbanded. Herd mentality means anyway everything remains exactly the same. Your creating greater CONFORMITY. If a team wins every game for a year every player will remain in that team multiply it by 5 and you wont have any player left playing this game.

What you dumbos dont understand is that even though your winning each and every election and even though your constantly in power and even though you never criticize each others. That is exactly the most potent seeds to your own destruction.



aHH you say krakken is trying to mind f* us again. Actually not just a thought from the Keers article.

Keers like everyone else build himself up to the extent that whatever he did he though of as gold whilst everything others did was in his opinion weak.

Sweet Drinker , appleman and especially Seanan has build themselves up to the extent that they can never look with new eyes to eIreland.

What I am is a person that keeps on criticizing.

How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye. LUKE 6:42

ITS time my friends for you to say that Ireland actually has a lot of problems and all of them starts and ends with the orcs. Clerics do not hold positions of power so they cant influence the decisions and infrastructure you create.
IN SHORT and to conclude: Ireland needs a new mindset or we will continue losing battles and PLAYERS
