Is the current game decaying?

Post by Grey »

Maybe it's just me but it seems the activity level has dropped off. Maybe games should be shorter?

Which would be why we should cut them a few weeks shorter.

well, i think it wouldn't hurt... the most exciting time of game is always the beggining. if we shorten the games, we'll multiply these times, maybe get the game even more exciting for everybody, more players happy, helps the community, etc, etc...

I've often wondered if we could have short--1 month games with higher speeds. It would increase activity--planets would never get to level 70(maybe get lvl 70, but then the game would end pretty much). IT seems once planets are lvl 70, game dies

I tend to agree, maybe not faster games, but shorter

Not to much shorter. I send money before each game, but if games are shorten to much?

what I meant was a shorter, smaller galaxy. Maybe up turns a little... 1-2 month long games, small galaxies (a little smaller than our currently Gal layout) might be pretty fun. Once the game starts to get dull ( 2nd month) then a new game would start...

Agreed. End games normally come down to massive mine feilds and dozens of level 70s. You have to get massive ops to do anything and its not toooo great.. (i stilll like it though ;) )

So yeah, take a little time off :)

I realise it's probably out of the question but I've always enjoyed the idea of more then 1 game at a time.. would keep peoples overall activity and interest around more.. They would have more turns to play around with and even differnet things..trade in one game and hunt in the other..or whatever..Could have like a 4 month game and a 6 week - 8 week game..
