Sparkydog Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 decreasing the performance (ping) for some customers does not get more people to buy the game or to spend more time playing.

Not sure there will be much more players. In global main time, there is about 50-100 EU server players online. So not a big change. And on oure main time, well I guess 50 on global. but they save Monet for a server. Just hope it will go well and we dont loose to many players.

I vote if some clans use alts or "friendly" captains from other nations to hide inside a "battle" before a PB, they should not be allowed to create hostility anymore! 3
Urchin Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 THANK YOU!!! I absolutely applaud this decision for the long term development of the game as a necessary step forward. Based in NZ I can finally participate in Port Battles after owning the game for two years, thank you!!! Not only that this change opens up possibilities for many new interesting strategies over a fixed window for PB's. For those that don't like dramatic changes to their virtual world, it's ALPHA, expect more changes more wipes. Play the game with the mindset you are testing different features and mechanics not a final release. 2

staun Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 I dont think it is changes ppl mind. Think more ppl are worried that this change is going to kill the population. But I guess we will be wiser in a short time.
Kloothommel Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 So they are basically gambling with the "fun'of 400-500 for the benefit of 100-150. Curious how this will play out. 2
Witch Of The Waves Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 So...you worried bout getting ganked? With more people playing on the server? Cmon man.....its part of the game get gud.
staun Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 Well I guess the reasoning is that the restrictions is what have made ppl leave. They may be right. So maby we in the end will end up with any. No safe zones and so on.
Mikocen Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 I really dont like this change. Now argues about time zones will back to servers. But as always i will adapt and wait till server split appear again.
Comeonche Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 Devs opened Hell's gates...........................and nightflip will come back Why did you do that!! We fought on this forum to have our EU server, with no nightflips. And now you will take it away from us!!! So unfair!! 1

Cmon man.....its part of the game get gud. No I am not affraid of ganking. Ganking os part of the game. For new players it may be a problem. For players that have be on for a bit of time, it is not a problem. Getting ships is easy. And I dont think it will get many more players. A small yes, but not many. Ppl in other timezones will still be online in different time. It is not so that now there is 150 on global and 450 on Eu. Som on one servet there will be 600* at the same time-. And on a side note. To use "oh, you are affraid of getting gang." It is that kind of argumenting that just kill all serious debat. Edited December 11, 2017 by staun *added text
Visca Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 If you want to kill the game, go go go. Do you really never learn anything from past mistakes? Nightflips were a calamities !! Nobody wants to see this system put back in place ... 2
Comeonche Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 Nightflips destroyed the game on the old global server..... It forced lots of players to leave the game. And you want to put it back!!!!! It's probably the biggest error you could do!!!! 3
staun Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 Yep nightflips will be back. I know that we will be able to buy a defence timer for 100 k a day. But most nations bleed money all ready to keep there ports. So we can either live with the risk of nightflips ore grind money. I all most want to be in a nation with more uncaptuable ports. Then I didn't need to defend any ports. 1
NavalActionPlayer Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 so.......when does this all happen? Sorry not going to trawl through 12 pages.
Guest Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 4 hours ago, Sir Texas Sir said: The funny thing is the majority of the players actually don't care about RvR, they just want a larger pop to play with and that is why they tend to stick with one server that has the most pop. You take away that option to pick servers than you bring every one to one server. I still don't get why they can't just fight other EU clans. I mean the numbers show ya'll have a larger player base so most of the fights and ports owned will prob be owned by EU clans. Hell France is all ready making a post to recruit Global players, don't see any other nations doing that yet and I'll be flat out bluntly honest with you guys an @Christendom we won't be going US or GB when we switched and I don't think VCO will either. So this would be a good time to start your recruiting up of clans from GLOBAL. dont join dutch, our clan need more content

Horatio 15 Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 Under the category "ships" will all ships currently listed for sale be included in the redeemables? If redeemable what will the value amount be? A developer amount or the sale price listed by the seller?

I've read all pages, don't think there's been an answer yet. But it should be done immediately, since probably the few 100 global players will just stop playing now anyway, awaiting the merge. Edited December 11, 2017 by Jean Ribault 2
Horatio 15 Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 Do we still get any unclaimed redeemables in global or do we need to redeem them before the shut down?
Raf Van Boom Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 It's kind of pointless to play on global now so eagerly awaiting the merge! 2
Hodo Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 Just now, boom said: It's kind of pointless to play on global now so eagerly awaiting the merge! The big question is WHEN will this happen. And will anyone be there to see it?

Jeheil Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) Well !! Looks like I am coming home again. On the surface sounds a good compromise for the Nightflip melarkie and means I can sail with some of my old mateys again. I had just about given up since globals shutdown killed the Oceanic community and EU excluded us from RvR. So this holds some hope. Edited December 11, 2017 by Jeheil 10
