Focus on?

I was attacked DH and didn’t retal figured I didn’t lose land so it would be unfair to gain it via retal

well then restart should need normal 100 turns to get oop not 15 since w/o anything gotten from old country not much can be built in 15 turns (besides cs's).

Remove the mil/oil/bushels from restarting.
Goods on the market are lost.
Reduce tech kept on the restart
Increase CS
Keep buildings and land given the same.
Reduce cash given on restart.

They wouldn't. They don't. They aren't. They never will.
This isn't really a casual game. You can play casually, but be honest, are you even playing? The return on investment is exactly negative of how much time you put in. You don't even get shiny digital bits and pretty pixels for your time. It's all erased by the next set. No progression, if anything regression; LCN are fluff netters and got jealous of LaF's superior netting/warring/members/training/history/reproductive organ size and fertility/etc and so now are going to ruin any netting sets, waste the servers time, and try to damage membership counts.

Let's say you spend 59 days try harding it up, putting together a win, and then wankers from LCN ruin it all because their alliance was fluffty and fell apart. Do you think a new player will stick around for this? You can polish a turd all day long, and in the end all you have is fluff on your hands. I can think of no successful game where griefing is allowed.

I could go on and on, but the fact is, the game is a relic of a simpler time and a majority of the remaining player base would instantly turn off anyone new coming to play. If the admins are actually serious in revitalizing the game; the first step would be to permaban these LCN reject griefers to get rid of the stain, and then design and institute a country roll back solution and proper war engagement mechanics to stop this from happening again.

You guys lived up to about 5% of what you could have.

So the goal was to be entertained in killing and hit LaF. Hmmm. So why did you make LaF's enemies ally with LaF against you? That seems very shortsighted.

Agreed but it's absolutely the first step. The game is not attractive to new players rn so once the new UI is released, traffic direction will come into higher focus. It's a process.

No. Theres a new UI. Seriously. I've played on it. It's in app format.

DS, have you seen the new API? App format launch is seriously right around the corner. Did you know that?

While ee is profitable, it is not making these people millionaires. It just happens to be barely solvent.

Pang has been working on both traffic and the new UI, in addition to working his full time job. The new UI has some functionality and it looks and feels very good. I really like it.

Qz has been making updates to bots, moving the server and his whole life to a new house etc.

People are spending a lot of time on the game when they have time to do so. Considering we've all been here the whole time we can be patient. Since you just arrived yesterday, you want that overnight.

In the last 2 years I've seen a massive overhaul to the bots to fix their impact on the markets, I've played on the new UI and been asked for feedback on it (which I dont have any negatives, i honestly like it a lot), I've been asked how information about players is gathered by tags etc. There is absolutely progress in the direction you say but it will never be an overnight thing.

You should consider that multiple fake Nick's, and attempting to hide in the bot jungle and things of this nature are things that need to be ironed out before the addition of a massive bloc of young players. Therefore, you are causing the mods and admins to focus on the mess you cause rather than on the stuff you want.

Whatever the public opinion is Pang/ Qz have an almost impossible task on their hands:
1. Implement real solutions to this problem and lose players
2. Don't implement real solutions to this problem and lose players
