Ok, i wanted to write long structured post, but i dont have muse, so just a few quick thoughts. Originally, i wanted to write this post year ago, but i was busy with TIE at that time, so i delayed it. But now situation seems even more clear for me.
My post is last attempt to improve this game. If all admins think game is ok, then i dont think i can do something with it. And i will try to be as alliance unbiased as it possible.
For the 2 years im back i saw only 2 interesting wars (TIE-RIVAL last summer & MD-SoF few months ago) - that very little to call game interesting. IMO, they key of it is very old game community (by old i consider both age & time of playing game). In old e2025 coalitions was changing almost every reset and now it same for long time. IMO, this indicates game problems. Also, when i returned, there was about 15-20 good alliances. And from that time we lost Rage, NA, Sanct, Imag and down to 10-15. Evo&TIE merged and LCN is about to die. We have only one new alliance for 2 years - DK. Yes, players count is kinda same as it was (526 now vs 608 2 years ago in established alliances), but different alliances has different policies, they form coalitions and so on.
Ok, i think i explained problem well enough to show my position. Now i want to make suggestion (finally).
We should turn our weakness to our power. Our community is old, so they are mostly over 25 age (and also we are very loyal to game), wich means we are working and can freely spend money on our games (and i have to say, in 2013 its ok to pay for play even for under 20 age). 5 bucks isnt much for us, so even if 20% will pay, it still 500 bucks per month. And im sure alot of ppl will be ready to give more. How to use money? Post targets. I.e. "we need 2K $ to make iOS/android app". And start collecting money (yes, idea isnt new, i saw site wich collecting money for some projects, but dont remember name, but i know this site works perfect). As soon as we get it - find someone to do it (alot of freelance sites available). I know admins told once "we are happy to make this game our full time work, but we dont have money/time". So, this will help you to get money or not spend to much time (if work not interesting for you or you cant do it). *here can be big text about changes we need to do, but i skip it till someone ask me it directly* This game need improvements or should die.
If you dont know how to organize it, find someone to help you. I dont point on myself, but if you need my help, i can help you with it also.
PS
It would be nice if alliance leaders would bring this post to their alliance attention, so we can get more opinions. Maybe im wrong and everyone are happy.
