So there was a lot of Ballyhoo (1900's word meaning drama) with the rollout of the new stand-alone app. While it is a lot of work, it seems to me less people are engaging with the game than before. Is this just me? Shouldn't we see more activity if a new product is bringing in new blood? Hardly anyone is warring, fake or not, hardly anyone is posting smack. What gives? This is not T-wo btw.

After using the new app I invented time travel and healed an injured swan with just the power of love.

Hope that helps.

it doesn't matter how many new players there are if no one can attack them and they cant attack anyone else. no point in talking smack when you are restricted from backing it up.

I prefer to use a browser on my phone vs. the app. Maybe I'm hardheaded, but it's just easier for me.

Sometimes. I might use the chat.

I'm the REAL T.Wo, for those of you wondering.

The app was just too... Well lets put it this way, the functionality wasn't native and would have been better creating a mobile version of the site instead. I have been playing the game a LOT less mostly because it keeps crapping up in my browsers. I am only coming back to resupply my glass corp with selenium...

The app is a work in progress. The functionality, performance and look will keep improving in the near future.
If you have any suggestions on this they're of course very welcome.

We are not looking to force people into using the app. The user interface used in the app will eventually become available for desktop and mobile browsers too.

@Evader23 Functionality like you mentioned is included in the road towards feature parity on all platforms.
Meaning that the main goal is to make it possible to do everything that's available in the browser in the iOS/Android apps as well.

@Wicked I guess Andrew inherited your eyesight. He had to buy a gargantuan phone to be able to play through the app ;)
Sadly we can't guarantee perfect playability on < 5" screens.

Have you considered neural implants for the ultimate VR game play?

I would like to take this time to apologize for my previous comments. I have not actively played for quite some time and was unaware I was able to attack another player who is currently on a different war level. Now where are those neural implants, i want to be able to play while I'm working.
