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...
