Fant 28
15:19:19 Oct 10th 14 - Bran (Mr. Brannigans Law):

the game could have more kds if more ppl would  be a leader. New players come to the game but you have to have more fun for them to stay. the first step to getting them to stay is to have more kds!

if anyone cares about the game theyd take their kd off the lower worlds and move onto fant NOW before the game dies completely. all it takes is for one of the remaining kds to disband and the game will never recover from it


15:59:10 Oct 10th 14 - TheBornLoser (Mr. Pennywise The Clown):

Shyers, Bran, the issue is that I will most probably be going on another one of my breaks after this Nirvana era ends.

Basically, a lot of my crew is lacking the motivation to play the game era in era out. Real life is kicking in - Mike is very busy with work, Terence has a new girlfriend, Ivan / Chade is going to be a father very soon, etc. I myself have so many hats on that I would like to take the VU hat off for a bit.

In addition, about half my kingdom is already in Fantasia. I believe Ivan, Stormy, Aussie and Sky are in your kingdom. Kobu is in MAD.That just leaves Dalak, Von Darkmoor, Terence and myself (Mike has not been playing for the past two eras) as the only Valar players not on Fantasia. I can't form a kingdom with only 4 players. And I've reached the point in life where I prefer to play with familiar faces than be forced to invest time getting to know and lead new folks.

Ultimately, one of this game's key failures is that there is no more new blood coming into the game after old timers retire. I remember the last great batch of new players to join the game was the Warbook gang. That was about 4 years ago. After that, it was dribs and drabs - Stormcloaks are the last small bunch of enthusiastic newer players to have embraced the game. Today, almost no one new comes in, and those who do do not last.

And the reasons for the lack of new blood is simple. This game has lost its appeal to the old timers (we're all sick of too many basic mistakes and errors happening - if a game can't get its basics correct, how can it go on to greater things? Why should we invest so much time in it?), and the lack of critical mass and publicity (plus the difficult learning curve) does not attract newcomers. Thus, it (the game) is now nearing the end of its death throes.

When I joined this game almost 6 years ago, I was struck by the vast potential that it had. This could have been the war game of dreams for many military and strategy enthusiasts, especially those fond of Civilization type games and old school military maneuvers (like me). Unfortunately, like many athletes who never fulfill their great potential, VU is their virtual game equivalent.

What a pity.

Well, I'm with bran, maybe it's cause I started playing this game for almost half my life ago, but I'm not ready to give up.


09:12:11 Oct 11th 14 - Mr. Rohera:

Join Shoalin monks, over my dead body, game spoilers


12:50:03 Oct 11th 14 - Jesus Left Toe (Lord Jesus Left Toe):

Ladies, Gentlemen, Others,

Vincimus has arrived on Fantasia, looking for recruits, new or old. 

All applications will be given due consideration, then accepted.

JLT


13:21:31 Oct 11th 14 - Princess Aisha:

If all applications will be accepted then why do they need to be considered
:P


13:46:41 Oct 11th 14 - Bran (Mr. John Zoidberg):

[11:58:00] Coxy: All applications will be given due consideration, then accepted.
[11:58:06] Coxy: cant you jsut skip the due consideration part?

great minds think alike!


00:31:05 Oct 12th 14 - Jesus Left Toe (Lord Jesus Left Toe):

Well, my mother always said, true love is knowing someone's faults, and loving them anyway.

So I thought if I had to consider you, before accepting you, it was kind of like Jesus's message, 'repent and you will be saved'.


00:08:52 Oct 13th 14 - Mr. Insane II:

More kds on fant..........Just like the old days


00:15:26 Oct 14th 14 - Mr. Dyingwish:

So, you want kds to come to fantasia that are not ready for it and get eatten alive? I like playing on lower worlds where I can finish top 6 and not dedicate my life (but almost) to the game. some people are super active on lower worlds, some not so much. it balances well. fant is log on 16hrs a day and maybe youll live, if you have great support.  


01:37:56 Oct 14th 14 - shyers (Grandmaster Disaster Faster Laster Shyers):

Hardly, fant is nothing compared to what it used to be like and I highly doubt that anyone but bran logs that much, I sure don't. On the lower worlds I can miss days and still be top 6. As for new people joining and getting destroyed immiately, well I didn't notice that this era, except for our turncoat.


02:00:23 Oct 14th 14 - Jesus Left Toe (Lord Jesus Left Toe):

Afraid of being eaten alive?

Not active enough to not get slaughtered?

Not a problem.

Join Vincimus, where JLT will protect you whilst single handedly winning the era.

;)

N.B. JLT may not win the era, you may die, but hey, what else are you doing with your worthless, miserable lives.


15:22:39 Oct 14th 14 - Binh (Mr. Binh Testing):

I login to vu 8 hours a day on a daily basis when I consider myself "active". Still do fine. I only suffer a lot when I log in less than 4 hours a day :D


Most people do have jobs and they do sleep. Only some have the lucky job that are near a computer to allow them to login while working. There are a very small minority that are able to login greater than 8 hours each day.


22:56:59 Oct 14th 14 - Mr. Samual:

Unfortunately, part the reason I've had to stop playing is for the most part I'm lucky if I can log on twice a day lately which even then at most would only amount to about 20 minutes on the game a day, if I'm lucky. I've bills and rent that won't pay themselves, just don't have enough time in the day to get to play this anymore.


01:02:24 Oct 15th 14 - Mr. Dyingwish:

tell me the name of those who do not fear me

Your character Mr. Dyingwish has won 19 battles, captured 11 cities and killed a total of 1206638 men and women


01:20:10 Oct 15th 14 - shyers (Grandmaster Leeshy Jenkins):

Might be a smaller list to compile if we wrote down the ones that dont


02:28:17 Oct 15th 14 - Mr. Dyingwish:

"do not" and dont are the same thing... Im just saying, I still have a problem with most fearsome. I have the third highest count on fant. I dont get why im not on the list, even though I haven't fought many fights


03:00:30 Oct 15th 14 - shyers (Grandmaster Disaster Faster Laster Shyers):

You only captured 11 cities, Hamish,  in 6th, captured 36....just saying


06:56:22 Oct 15th 14 - Mr. Don Kichotas:

Your character Mr. Don Kichotas has won 44 battles, captured 28 cities and killed a total of 1035917 men and women


07:04:17 Oct 15th 14 - Ms. The Real Brannigans:

cities taken has a heavy influence


Your character Ms. The Real Brannigans has won 24 battles, captured 20 cities and killed a total of 1701986 men and women



07:58:54 Oct 15th 14 - Kobuskan (Mr. Kobu):

Chest pounding has begun


14:15:56 Oct 15th 14 - Sir Aloysius Lix:

city captures supported by a million kills.. deserves to be in the top place. :p


  1. Sir Aloysius Lix has won 173 battles, captured 133 cities and killed a total of 1911237 men and women.


02:27:09 Oct 16th 14 - Mr. Dyingwish:

so someone that captures cities is fearsome? I wouldn't be afraid of someone thats captured empty cities, Id be afraid of someone that slaughtered tens of thousand troops. when someone has that many city caps its means they left a city undefended after conquering it, it gets reconquered and continually reconquered. Or the pez revolted and the persons whos peaz it was, obv doesn't have any troops there so it just gets re taken. cities are a bunch of hogwash.


Though alyious deserves number 1, ovbviously


04:22:23 Oct 16th 14 - Jesus Left Toe (Lord Jesus Left Toe):

But then, what if all your kills were Mu's or Gaia?

Are you fearsome if you slaughter those whom can not defend themselves?

Honestly, I think I am most fearsome...

Your character Lord Jesus Left Toe has won 0 battles, captured 0 cities and killed a total of 0 men and women

No one is even brave enough to attack me.


07:02:46 Oct 16th 14 - Mr. Rohera:

Capturing cities impacts economy, whether they have troops in or not. 


As such it has to be a key determinate.

Move on.
