  3. More idiocy. Who cares. Part of Rolf's vision or business model was the original subscription cost and that players supplemented the 'lower' premium cost with purchasing silver every month. Pay2Win might be sort-of considered in Wurm, for pvp-only. PVP in this game is cancer, and is given 'holistic treatment'.

  5. sent. 1 minute arrival!
  6. It's not old school, it's nonviable. Asking for anything else is like telling a nurse to do open heart surgery. I do enjoy the 'suggestions' from all these professionals. It's always good. Considering the 'pay2win' model heavily favors the player-to-player transaction, with the business not seeing any benefit, I'd disagree. It's not always so black and white. This thread needs to die.

  9. The first part is true, back to the 80/20 proportionality of revenue generation. The second part...well, that's a statement for someone running a business in the early 2000's. Time to increase that knowledge about revenue generation, if you want...

  15. The pve/pvp situation was there in beta, and reared it's ugly head near the last beta map. Rolf didn't like the decision to split servers into pve/pvp as it was their sole intention to have one server during gold. People were pretty vocal about wanting a pve-only server. There were angry posts and threads years before this event. This was just a way to try and bring back that original vision, in a very, extremely, poor implementation. It's pretty much how Wurm works: good initial idea generation that's never given strategic thought, and then implemented with piss poor execution. Nothing changes.

  18. He reverted the changes after the forums exploded with hatred against it. I do not remember a poll, but more of a 'refresh' with a bigger map to likely draw in more players. Most people gave up, or just moved closer to the south coast with ships loaded with their junk. Imagine this, pre-BSB/FSB.
  19. It was a blast. I remember those coming from Wild (chaos) had a severe fighting penalty, and all it would have taken is some 50+ fighters to clean house, or even some heavy guards (old deed system). Of course everyone just grabbed their stuff and logged off.
  20. updated stock.
  21. Since my post was removed.... There is harm asking silly/stupid questions, unless you really cannot comprehend simple mechanics. You do understand when you create any product (including software development) that not everything has to have a linear path right? Maybe it's possible someone wanted a randomness to butchering products tied to skill, years and years ago? Maybe the recent changes have nothing to do with that said implementation and person years ago? Maybe changing it would imbalance the system and piss more customers off? Maybe you cant understand any of this? I forgot i better add a few of THESE.

  24. This guy is my hero, +100000 for this change. WAIT!! There's MORE! For every change this guy promotes, expect a 5% subscriber loss...FREE!
  25. I agree that no decisions should be made public for the 'customer' to dictate. The problem is that for you to make these proper decisions and implement them in a development environment (especially gaming), you need to have customer insights that translate into business direction and goals. User-driven development right? In this case, it is simply not true, and the original post (and others like it) shouldn't even exist. The fact it was a presented discussion, went through some sort of communication, ended up here, and then backtracked is endemic of serious knowledge gaps in the overall process.
