The truth...

[Jinx]

a good example of how ingame activity can affect developement is:

- the RM vs. TBH war ... i don t know too much about it - but what i gather is that it was consisting of a series of staged events under admin supervision. both sides agreed to the terms and consequences. there was no trolling and / or bitching about it - and the "players" were kind to each other - even if their "characters" would spit each other in the face.

- the Molly independence and integration into bretonias lawfuls. - well - i dont know if that was actually the plan ... of if the plan was to achieve semi independence. - the process was a long one ( probably still is ) - and the factions activities were sometimes strong and passionate, sometimes low and almost forgotten.

especially in that case however - the dev team tries to evaluate the consequences for the entire region. - cause we play war and not peace. - when everyone is at peace with the situation and its neighbours - the game itself suffers.

- another good example ( small scale though ) was when a Harvester transport made it to Gran Canaria - to be stopped by a fleet ... or smash into the planet, while being loaded up with nanobots to assimilate the population.



what all those have in common is ( or at least so i think ) - they were all multilateral agreements. - the involved parties were informed and if they had said "stop it, we don t like how it goes" - it would have stopped.

no one would have called them "pathetic Q_Qers".. no one would have said "deal with it...". - these three events were meant to be fun for all sides. - and they were all taken into consideration by the dev team.

sometimes something noticable comes out of it - sometimes not.
