Binar, well put! I have been toying with the idea of posting some kind of memorial to the game which covers some of those points. But why wait until it is over? I too feel that no matter how much "better" the new game is this one is lost forever and I do not feel I have accomplished all I can here. For almost 2 years I have logged in *every* single day. Some days it was boring and I simply moved some units around , yawned and went to bed. Other days however I marveled at how some plan I followed (which began a month ago sometimes) played out and fell into place. Through all of this there has been a promise, an understanding by all that this was perpetual and it was safe to plan like this and we would always have time to fail, win and experiment because the game was never ending. It was understood that you paid to play *because* of this feature, singularily missing from most games. You pay, you get a hall and you grow powerful because time is no doubt on your side. I feel like some of us (those who it seems to matter to) have been let down. All it takes is a simple vote and it restarts. Not never ending, not even close. To me it lessens the game in a very important way. It is not never ending , but rather will run until 66% of the players get bored. I think all players should consider what kind of game they want. =====GOD realises==== that this is a let down. And I agree it was never mentioned until about 4 months ago and that this does kill major plans made by one and all. My intent is to run an open ended game, and never to restart again. It was only due to player campaigning that I considered it. I asked many clans (well up to 20) what they thought and almost all were for it. Only after this did I make it a public option. Over the last months the Cry has given many opinions, but again, the view seemed to be that a restart would be fun - even those against agree that this is true. So lobby hard, and try to get your way, but I think the vote is towards a restart. Mail me privately about the old gods playground. I simply rope off this area of the map and those 14 to 20 clans who want to remain could do so. New clans may enter this area by transgate, but those incarcerated will NEVER be able to leave. As I have said before it is more work, but not too much if you think it solves your concerns.
