"Fifth, we did not transfer assets between worlds, all of the weapons and ammo we have on WG are directly from WG, we built our empires from the ground up on WG over the past 3 months or so, with the exception of EC and Serpent who already had large empires there, I started completely fresh, as did EO and Orbiter. " ---WB
in fact i returned to SC on april 5, so after four months, i not only built and tore down an empire on LU, but built several giant war slaves on WG. destroying what people work years for? my point is that players are often discouraged from the type of things that allow fast build up!!!
case in point, with small amount of time, raiding even a single C3 a day, can generate enough GC to buy 5M pop a week!!! but players are discouraged from raiding C3s. because the common opinion is that you can't make a profit. you can, any of the players on WG or LU who even every once and a while look at the paper, would notice my constant C3 raiding, its how i built my empire.
"This post has nothing to do with WGC and I will probably be reprimanded or kicked out due to it." ---nick
as far as causing many players to leave the game over this? well, i guess. how ever, if you look at the WG forums, it is a busy day if their is 2 posts!!! why? it seems that Jo is the only one in WGC allowed to talk!?! honestly, how many players choose not to play on WG for this reason? Or join SC, start on WG, and end up leaving because nothing ever happens? (DBD made such a statement the day before the war decs were put in place,)
frankly, it would be a shame, if you were reprimanded for stating your opinion.
in the past, players that wanted to war, had to some how prove that the war was justified, and would often be very abrasive, just to provoke and pick fights. and with the old SC chat, it was well known that it was a rather hostile place. expect new players of course wouldn't now, and presto... instant noob.
the atmosphere of enforced peace actually forces players to act belligerent, to be able to justify fighting a war, when the game docs clearly state that the full version of the game, includes war.
lastly, i would like to say, WGC is a great fed, and has enjoyed a level of success few feds ever will be able to duplicate. few feds could remain the strongest power in the game, for as long as they have.
