Last fortress war put Joymax into shame. LOL Literally a small group of people(compared to any corporate) can run the game more efficiently (despite some lag,delay,etc) than JM.
Not only that, but also the fact that the server has got the pops. around 3.5k (with bots whatever,at least they are not gold bots) is far more than what JM could handle especially in community management.
If that is not success, then what is it?
On the other hand, I would like to point out a couple of things.
1- To community: There are still some bugs and as community we should notify the team as soon as we found the bugs out. This is for the favor of the community.
2- To server owners: Spend some of what you earn to provide more support. I see the same people providing support who are also doing other things for the server. This is ok but you will be worn out. Get a couple of support people, brief them about your features and FAQ so that they could help the community.
3- To server owners: This game is not pay2win. But! money can easily get into circulation thx to silk option. People have got 2 choices to trade. Either via ingame gold, or via silk. For the time being I don't see any balance in it. This is dangerous because people find it hard to gain in game gold and find it easier to spend money and exchange thx to it. It may look profitable to you but in the mid-long run this is going to ruin the economy. You may limit silk exchange scroll purchase option per week/month whatever. At first sight, it will look like you are shooting yourself on the knee but in the mid run you will benefit much more from that.
This is my couple of cents.
I already appreciate what you have done. My concerns are to protect what I have been enjoying.
Thx for reading.
