SoF’s 50 members are mostly returning members who have not played in years including a couple of members who have not played since E2025.

The reason why we have so many members is because we actually made an effort to promote our Alliance and attract people back to the game. We even did a rebrand of SoF and changed the front page of our website to increase our appeal using standard advertising and marketing techniques.

If others including the admins and other alliance leaders did the same they can expect to see some results themselves and actually grow the player base. Membership retention is a different story.

Well done on recruitment! It’s a positive sign for the future of the game.

Mine was directly deposited in a Swiss account. If you want to get paid, you must have a coded swiss account.

if you go to last reset it says 469 countries on the server and many didnt restart from the war so there were probably more. This reset there is 483, not sure you can call it growth. I say no growth.

I should have 0 countries at the moment. Plenty of accounts, but I'm fairly certain that my countries are toast. Waiting for them to fix the account system.

The overall country count is misleading. There are always lots of countries started that barely ever get off the ground. The most accurate measure would be straight up Alliance numbers.

250 bots each set so best to subtract them and at least any who never leave protection

last set probably had less restarts at the end though, you can compare active countries at the same point of the set up until about day 40, but last set and this set numbers will probably inflate a little just before the start of war due to late starters who want to war so if wars are of different size or at different time that will change things

but for now shouldnt be an issue

Change from last set for above tags: 34 tagged player increase

It's not completely accurate with regard to the total playerbase, but it gives us an idea.

The real metric to look at is activity level of your members and turn over. Trends over time is what is important.

I wouldn't be resetting your post count because you have a lot.

I would reset it because you care too much about it and post nothing but worthless drivel. Your posts are basically an echo chamber. You contribute nothing.

It isnt favoring others, it is simply pure disdain for you.

You are a blight on this forum Marshal, you repulsive, ignorant little toad. I vote to reinstate mrford's forum mod status. Its about time something was done. Marshal's posts are beyond annoying, they are destructive. Its because of people like Marshal that useful information and truth is buried by mountains of crap on the Internet. Marshal lost any right to speak about 28,000 posts ago. People who post disinformation should be silenced and Marshal is the worst I've seen. I enjoy this game and I come here for fun. There is nothing funny about Marshal's posts. Every time someone says something useful, funny or interesting, Marshal drops a big turd on the discussion.

Go fluff yourself Marshal.

mrford for forum mod!!
