Hello, everyone, this is the shortly infamous Lord_Hawk from a place that those familiar with me will know where I am from.
I don't know how many remember me, and I don't care, as the point is that I played this game a long time ago, and have experienced the highs and lows through the ages. Due to life concerns, and the sadness to see my beloved game fall like a slowly sinking ship. I've returned a couple of times for a couple of days, only to see that the game has changed little for the better, and has gone away from what it was first meant to be by Mehul (who I guess is gone now?).
We should never take games seriously, and when one dies, we just play another. I'm, however, not afraid to admit that I'm truly saddened by the fall of this game. I miss playing it. I miss when I was new and things were so easy to grasp for new and returning players.
No other game, not even an MMO could have ever compared to the social life of this game, and while there are many copycat games all over the internet, this was the original, and the one that created the concept of true intimate team play. I want that kinship with my kingdom back.
But to now see that trading is allowed? Multiple provinces per person? To see that those aren't dealt with anymore? The complicated equations for science and all that frequent players can adjust to, while people like me who want to return to the game dont' even recognize it anymore? Not to mention what a NEW player must think when they read the guide and wonder if they will ever get the overcomplexity of this game?
Maybe this will be a discussion, maybe this thread will get deleted, maybe people will call me a newbie, or maybe this will be a post i make and never think of coming to see this thread again. I don't know.
These are just the feelings of someone who used to play the game, wants things to improve as he lurks around...maybe once a couple of weeks to a months, wanting things to turn, get better, or to see some innovation or foward direction.
That's my two cents. I apologize if this offends anyone, even the owners, but again it's just how I feel.
I want my game back.
