Not sure I understand what you're sayin'. But there is no holiday wishful thinking at all. I'm sayin' a community comp hosted by myself and a few others might be jus' what we need for next Christmas event. There will of course be those that'll participate and those that'll participate in the EW Event. Either way, I'll be hosting a Christmas Event next year and I'm hoping some others will host with me, if I'm still on earth and EW still exists- so no wishful thinking- jus' some simple planning. Peace.ApolloCreed wrote:Wishful holiday thinking. This game, and it's forum are similar to the same types of things players said way more than a decade ago on several platforms, including the once famous MySpace. From a business standpoint, you keep adding small changes and events, picking up some money...after years though, nothing brings in players interests like before, because nothing is of value to the player anymore. Too often after time, companies put so much effort into discounts for new players, and yet failing to please the old money spenders. New players are vital. Without them, games fade away. I've been involved in at least 20 games at a high level in this millennium, with myself being a top player, or THE top player in a handful of those games. I've spent many many $$$ getting there, way more than probably most people reading this, and that "wide eyed" emoji would be the reaction if people actually knew the amount. My spending cooled off when I realized my entertainment costs were wasteful. In the end, companies stopped pleasing veteran players, and went for new players with the bulk of their efforts, and in ways that hurt the veteran players. There needs to be a balance, but I've yet to see it after 16 years of online gaming. In the end, all of those games are defunct, gone, deleted, and so are many of the companies.BCKidd wrote:I think next year the community should come up with our own Xmas event- these ones that EW puts on aren't for a lot of us. A community comp with extravagant prizes topped with fair amount of EM$ would probably go over well, and be more realistic than what we are faced with, with every EW event. Peace.
