you just play there because in every world you are just a regular player, a nobody
I'm sorry, who are you?
Yes, new worlds are
terrible (I could write this entire post on why these low quality, often multi battles are not fun, but we all know that already), and they're going to die in less than a year, so it's never a long-term thing when you join up. As long as players know this is the situation, it's mostly fine... We obviously see how much players
spend on these worlds in the opening months to get that massive
premium advantage, at the expense of the
actual content of this game - the free to play playerbase. I still think a re-setting speed world would be much more enjoyable for everyone, in place of new worlds that kill off the last one, and would still make plenty of
money - more
money if it's a challenge run. Giving a world a
purpose would be game changing.
A lot of people tried really hard to make Idaho the world that broke the mould (I can't speak for Huston, Juarez or Kansas politics) - but everyone can see for themselves how that ended up. I know people want new worlds and new challenges, but the truth is, short of merging all game servers into one, we don't have the playerbase to support it anymore, nor a management that cares to help the situation.
This company used to take pro-active action to ensure the continuity of the gameplay, what the hell changed?
If you have the time and motivation to spam 15s jobs all day, and connections for free gear, then starting on Colorado, or one of the old stable worlds, is the best
long-term decision you'll ever make in this game. But if you don't have all three of these things, like me, then it's a
looooooooooooong wait for migrations just to be allowed to play the game we love again (and buy
nuggets!). I do hope that
@kuro90 is still asking for migration routes for the community
out of dead worlds at every available opportunity.
It's apparently often forgotten by the game masters that this is, in fact, a PvP game, with supporting PvE elements. Not a casino, not a digital chores simulator, and definitely not Pokémon where you gotta collect em all, but for collector cards that don't give you anything. I'm sad that all I can do to push back against this terrible new direction is rant on a forum that no one important to these decisions will ever read.
