not sure everyone reads the forums eh?

I got to admit only a fraction of Neveron's remaining playerbase visits the sarna forums - and it looks like an even smaller fraction of Neveron's remaining playerbase actively participates in discussions - or polls -, here at sarna.


Unfortunately it looks like many of the more talkative and or active people left the sarna forums - and or Neveron?


Simply look at Neveron's IRC activities, or the Nev-related roleplay section at sarna, nothing but a shadow of the past left of it at the moment.


Unfortunately this had to be expected due to a slowly shrinking playerbase (= less people and or less variety in general) - and an ever increasing and or almost exclusive focus on landwar - and or FWar -, which changed the composition/mix of the playerbase in the long run.


Basically it looks like the admin-encouraged/wanted ever increasing focus on landwar/FWar (admin-wanted unit number reduction and or infra reduction) kind of thoroughly trimmed out most of the 'fat' (= easy 'targets' / smaller factions, for example smaller infra 'farms', smaller (re)builders, smaller researchers, smaller traders / crafters / manufacturers, casual gamers in general, etc.), 'spice' (roleplayers, explorers, socializers, etc. all of them adding / contributing to the overall atmosphere and depth of a game in general) - and most of the enthusiasm of the newcomers as well -, e.g due to excessive NOOB hunting runs on "NOOB Cannibal Island" (NCI) and or the activities of low level uber LW empires in general.

Apparently pretty much all that is left at Neveron at the moment is some die hard hardcore warmongerers, some player killers, some disgruntled veterans, some oldtimers to stubborn to leave, some people with way too much time and money invested already - who can't leave easily -, and the ocassionally showing up newbie/s.


But what do you get if you trim out all the fat, sugar, spice, fun, etc. out of something? - Yeah, right, usually all that is left is some tasteless and boring diet stuff which almost nobody really wants to swallow ...


AI-pirates on demand could be a most wanted fat, sugary, spicy, tasty fun feature which could really help to spice up everyone's nev gaming diet, errr, sorry, gaming experience ...


BTW - fat, sugary, spicy, tasty fun stuff tends to sell much better than tasteless and or boring diet food ...

Pirates on demand, yet another fun feature us Nev gamers have been asking - and or waiting - for, for quite some time ...


Where is our "Player vs. Environment" (PvE)/(Player vs. Non Player Characters) fun stuff for Neveron?



IMVH - and rarely ever listened to - opinion, we could really use some kind of innocent PvE fun and action too - now!



IMVHO we've already had our maximum overdose of "Player vs. Player" (PvP)( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Player_versus_Player ) action, "Player Killing", etc., for example via consecutive FWar after FWar, excessive NOOB hunting, or raid after raid.


It's about time for some PvE fun and action at Neveron.


pirates on demand = less demand for NOOB killing/bashing/hunting = less frustrated NOOBs, more NOOBs stay = slowly growing playerbase


Stop beating up NOOBs, start beating up computer controlled AI pirates on demand (for a small fee, to help prevent abuse (excessive rep and morale farming), it's a Nevcash sink - and it could help to slow down inflation too, and it could provide some rare Mech spare parts salvage too) instead.


It's way too easy to frustrate a human player, but you simply cannot frustrate an AI opponent/pirate.


No more NOOB hunting for sports and such, simply hunt down some AI pirates if you are in dire need of some action ...
