Devs were smart by observing results in free play environment before creating game mechanics.

[Heibges]

The Devs did a very smart thing with both Conquest and the Economy by observing what would happen in an environment with a large number of players, rather than speculating on what would happen and arbitrarily putting in rules for gameplay.

 

Some people obviously think some of these things should have been fixed for the Alpha, but the game will be better in the long run because the Devs chose not to observe carefully before acting.

 

For this being the first game they have been fully responsible for, they have shown a wisdom lacking in many more experienced developers.

 

This is one of the best Alphas I have seen both in that the game is extremely stable, great performance, and they are actually using it to observe player behavior and not just verify their own preconceived notions.

Nice i think you got some stuff on you nose...jk  no i think the devs are doing great for what they have.

I think the hands on devs we have are the result of catering to a smaller niche crowd. They can listen more clearly amd acually be involved in our conversations.

Looks like they know they wont get rich from this game but are more concerned with a good product made for people like us......the minority of gamers.
