a GM-dug Awesomia battle is waaaay different to a GM digging a player alliance on behalf of another player alliance - which both isn't allowed and isn't something any players should ever want. The only time mods should get involved with the internal politics of a game world if if they actually...

depends entirely on where you put your skill points.

Are "inno" gonna recruit, rank and lead the battle too?

Well I guess don't join the discussion and directly reply to me if you don't actually want to talk? I know you're a drama merchant that doesn't care about anyone else, but i'll bite. Yeah very obvious, they're dead - and you actually previously almost figured out why certain worlds didn't...

You're exactly right in that it was highly exploitable, and was the only way to get the 3rd key in the entire game at the time, so we used to have "cash battles". https://forum.the-west.net/index.php?threads/cash-push-fort-battles.40768/ removed in 2010 and replaced with chest drops, which...

conveniently ignoring the two worlds that have just opened migrations, are you?

I mean fwiw I think everything you said about what I've experienced was right, so definitely seems like a fair take on the worlds i'm not/haven't been on. Of course that would be great, but Colorado doesn't even have enough leaders for that to happen every single day sometimes... It's a lot for...

I definitely think that what you're trying to solve is a serious issue and you've thought out and presented your idea well. Rewarding battle quality is important - and, undoubtedly, the first step to high quality battles is actually getting players to come to the fights, then you can worry...

Good contribution to the discussion. Lol

Well you're close to a new quest, I'd recommend farming for upcoming quests while gathering exp with 2h jobs. Quests < clicky Also, you could join a town, focus on money for the town and gear for better jobs to help you in the longer-term.

Certainly wasn't my intention to discourage anyone from trying to revive a world and that would be regrettable if it did. I still maintain that the PvP is only dead until someone on both sides revives it. Kansas is not yet in that position, and so I still see it as a dead world for the purposes...

Kansas had just 10 battles in a month (on par with other dead/closing worlds), 434 total attendance (about half the participation of a "PvP" world), and features among the most imbalanced sides on .net (which results in low quality battles). its PvP is dead by any reasonable measurement. That's...

Lessons from the past The-West is constantly evolving, and the developers are continually seeking ways to enhance the player's experience, but don't seem to know where to focus their attention. One possible source of inspiration is the Classic West server, which has been running for...
