Farewell Mnnielsen

I didn't see any similar thread so I thought it would be a good idea to start one to show her our appreciation and express our gratitude. I think we owe it to her, especially after that bonus she negotiated for the community. Personally I've never seen so much in-game activity before.

@mnnielsen cared for the West and did her best to keep the game alive. Many of us may not agree with some policies that came out during her time as a CM, but we can't deny she cared for this game and did her best. Also when leading people its hard to keep everyone happy. And I bet it must be really tough trying to find the balance between having to follow corporate orders and restrictions, and to trying to fight for the people at the same time.

So thank you miss Mnnielsen, for everything you've done for us. Wishing you all the best for whatever comes next in your life.
 
thank you for everything you did for us, and didnt. i feel you tried your best and for that i thank you. happy trails pardner, catch ya on the flip-flop i hope. best of luck for whatever you do and have a good life. CYA

Αγαπητοί/ες Καουμπόηδες και Καουμπόισσες, Γράφω αυτές τις γραμμές για να σας ανακοινώσω την αποχώρησή μου από τον ρόλο του Community Manager απ' την ελληνική κοινότητα του The West έπειτα από σχεδόν 5 χρόνια. Όπως ίσως γνωρίζετε ή θα μάθετε τις επόμενες μέρες, αυτή την περίοδο...

From Greek CM:

"What's happening with the game
In the coming time, expect extensive changes to the game itself and the communities. I know that radical changes can bring anxiety, but we all hope that they are for the better and renew the experience we all love."

Looks like they want to let the game die once and for all. No wonder since last couple of months of changes.

In think it's not about dying, rather migrating from most of the language versions to .net. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't merged everyone but just love all servers to .net. hands why Syntex is coming back.

And from what I have heard, they are gonna bring big changes to the game. They are not going to let this game die
 
Hey everyone, it’s been a while since I posted, but I just wanted to say I really appreciated your efforts Maria.

No hard feelings about what happened. I always enjoyed our chats and the time we spent in the community. Wishing you all the best going forward.

Stay healthy and cheers to tea & gardening!

Stay awesome! :-))

They are not quitting. They are getting fired because the new CEO thinks firing and piling other games on the same CM will save a lot of money (which honestly is a joke but whatever). They don't want to spend money on competent people. It's a strange strategy I l only saw at InnoGames. Instead of fixing the game they let go to some loyal employees and keep the ones that are really devoted and spend more time than required or the ones that knows where and who to kiss. In Mnnielsen's case I don't know what happened. I only know they don't care much about those merged countries with international server. I don't really care if they are only 50 people but those are now left hanging.

As a former team member I can say Mnnielsen fought for all of you all this time. She was working on something big but unfortunately her boss thinks different. All I can say is this: she was not your enemy.
This company is very sick and greedy.

Good bye Mnnielsen! Thank you for your service!

Don´t they make record profits lately? Not like the company is not generating enough income...

They do on other games. The-West is simply not their priority, it never was.

They’re simply cutting staff and merging roles. So instead of us having our own CM for The West GR, we’ll just get someone who also has to deal with a bunch of other games. ( by other games I mean one CM will be in charge of 3-4 other InnoGame's games of the same language like Tribal Wars, Grepolis, Elvenar, etc )

What that usually means is things are gonna be slower. Less activity on the forum, fewer detailed replies, more generic announcements. The mods will probably end up doing most of the talking and managing because the new CM won’t have the time to be everywhere at once.

For people saying big changes are coming, mmhm no. No changes will be made at least for the next 1 year.

For The West specifically, this kinda just shows the game isn’t a big priority for them anymore ( it never was ). Not dying, not shutting down, but it’s in that ‘maintenance mode’ where they keep it running but don’t invest much. So expect repeated events, small updates, nothing too fancy.

Priority for The-West is to battle Multi-accounts usage and autoclicking scripts, there are tons of methods that can be implemented to battle these but they simply dont care about that, they care only about the profit the game makes from it's very dedicated veteran player base, this is not something new. I have made a proposal many times to give InnoGames a very easy tool that can catch autoclickers without any issues, I also made a proposal for players to be able to use the market ONLY when they reach Lvl 50, this will eliminate almost 99% of all multi-account users because they wont be able to funnel items to their bots to farm whatever they want. But hey ,we've been talking to a wall the past 10+ years what's going to change now?

My opinion? Script your way to 250 as fast as possible since they dont give a single .....
