Are you going to reopen RG?

I'd rather they didn't wipe all assets for my personal interest, but for they sake of the game removing them will put everyone back at roughly the same level, and encourage more players to join.

There has been too much abuse from the beacon pits and broken missions. The Devs ofc would rather not say anything about it now, if not, no one would play until Steam launch.

These are the points where I disagree.

This will provide what is needed for markets, and with the level of new players, it wont matter the amounts of stuff that is had.

Only one player can bring one bot to die at one time.

If you want a success story look at STC.  The problem is not assets, the problem is getting a strong LEADER to lead them. 

Enslaving people over the market would work, if they are mindless, and complete ***.   With the research patch, we are even more so on equal ground.

History in other games, most notably one time in another game, will prove correct. 

Where we can both agree on, is this all rides on steam, it always has.

That's not the Hungarian way!

I doubt they have the means to turn thousands of dollars into expansions, right of the bat in such a large scale, let alone now that they have their hands full with Steam release.

What they need is a steady flow of cash that builds up the base,which will provides security and a full time commitment on development.

Let's just hope Star Citizen impresses, anything less will disappoint with such high expectations and no gameplay yet to prove it, just fancy graphics which is the easiest part, if you have cash to spare.

Gamma wipe will be good for this game and quite frankly not needed in my opinion. If player owned stations and terraforming are needed, then add them to beta islands if that is possible!

Some of you were not around in the early days when beta islands were fun and there was plenty of PvP to be had by everyone! STC was created at the end of the hay days and have aspired for greatness like in the days of TOG, MORTE, M2S and CHAOS. With continued perserverance and leadership STC will get that chance, but only with a bigger player base.

What this game needs is more player base and the rest will fall into line.  Hopefully Steam will be the games saving grace.  But the new player fixes will have to help, without retention of new players there is no game to sustain, I believe they will. Constantly trying to fix things that are not broke will not help.  Adding Gamma at a time when the player base was very small did not help matters and only seemed to isolate everyone which actually took away PvP.

The developers work hard on the game, sometimes I think too hard but I like their tenacity! Look at all the patches and FREE updates they have made and the effort into making the game better. Dev Zoom, I love your signature from Bill Cosby, it is so true of the gaming community nowadays.

This game is great and has so much potential.  I have been playing since before the game released.  If I have to give up assets and money to make it all work, that would be fine.  Acquiring 1 billion in NIC in a matter of weeks for veteran players is no really large task to complete, it beats having no game at all to play.

Like many of you I am keeping my fingers crossed and putting my faith into the developers hands who have all the information, and knowledge to successfully carry us through the highways of Nia...

Let me interpret here a bit for the Steamlings who may not have a clear picture of the Nian History.

*cracks open large tome*

*brushes aside cobwebs and blows the dust off the pages*

"STC, formed by Zwiss, was certainly a new corp; and they certainly faced huge challenges early on;  NOW... [we] are 'King of the Landfill'.

Being at a disadvantage provided meta-content that kept several of our people interested for a couple of months.  Then as the #boredom factor kicked in for various reasons from real life to the 'end-game' strategy we utilized, we found that several of our members (actually most of the original ones), and several of other active corp members evacuated what was once a pristine Nia. 

Now... all that is left is a shell of an empire that moved on to greener pastures mostly composed of 'leaders' who were actually in other corps to begin with."

*punches up the data files*

AAAHHHH yes ... I see here.  Challenging play = interesting play.  Easy mode = boredom.  Dev favoritism = "King of the Hill".

The true history of Nia is this:  There are those that play chess, others play checkers and once in a while you find a dude playing GO.  All things are equal in time.  Time only lasts until the Devs make such severe changes to the rule set that all things worked for and hoped for are lost in the dust of the annals.

GG

... just sayin'    - LOL

And yet we are still here and have accomplished more than any other corp since gamma has been released. The only corp to have built, protected and continuously sustained a gamma island for the duration of the gamma frontier.

Im not sure what the criteria for winning is in Perpetuum, but this has to be close. We lose plenty of battles, but we are winning the war.

Adios, mofos.

QFT. Also remember not everything in game happens the way someone chooses to describe it on the forums, or for the reasons suggested.

Lon, some people don't want to pvp when they don't have an escape plan, look at State corp.  Build completely cut off islands to not have to worry about pvp effecting their industry.  All but quit the game after tp change.  Twiddling their thumbs on alpha ninjaing a few saps here and there.  Some people just don't want to work for it.
