The funny thing is if you talked to someone in the help channel or even general you would know that the majority of what you just said is bullshit. I won't bother to change your mind as I think its more a problem or your willingness to learn rather than the games willingness to teach.

What a will say is that this game allows you to reach the top echelon very quickly even as a solo player. It just requires brains determination and some time.

They arnt unique if they give them out every year.

That's a good place to start from.

Lemon asking for help.

Lemonade?

atm on walls. I've found as a solo guy with around ten hours playtime that its pretty hard being self sufficient. that's with two five second rivelers and a good proto char too.

This type of OOG *** is the type of rubbish that spawned the script kiddie.

sorry binary, who's alt are you again? I dont have any proof, just a feeling I have really, coming from their adverts for publishers that have been there for some time and the lack of a coherent plan for making the game work long term. I don't think that its a bad thing, its just sad nobody has stepped forward to do it as the current team haven't the resources to make the game viable imo.

At this late stage they have two options I would like them to consider exploring.

The first is player investment. Since beta players have been offering to make an investment in the company. A thousand here and there maybe but it adds up and with reasonable terms I think they could raise a couple of hundred thousand. By reasonable terms I would mean no dividend and a percentage of the company with a 5 year buybuck.

The second is in some sort of affiliate scheme. Internet nerds with kickboxer girlfriends and ferrari's (like me ofc) would relish the opportunities to show their adwords fu. Set up a 20% take of the prospects monthly time fee and bringing in players becomes a second job for people. It costs the company virtually nothing and can be modified or withdrawn any time. The downside ofc is that 40% of the server isn't dumb as a brick and would do it for themselves but there are ways to prevent that. Right now they could add 1k players and keep the same overhead. The opportunity cost of NOT doing this is great.

well their CEO's email is gaben@valvesoftware.com. I suggest we all ask him nicely to allow the game on steam.

bump for problem that's still around

Your pretty full of guano serpens.  Ill create a soundboard this weekend of all the audio recordings I have of the leadership advocating account sharing. Of course it was widespread.

The problem wasn't this , it goes on in every corp, the problem is the knee jerk reactions of the dev team punishing the one account not even widely shared rather than a balanced appropriate response across the server.

I dont think folks are claiming they were good ss gold, just that the response was poor.

as someone who has been in CIR for a short time I know this to be a lie. I have regularly heard Syndic asking miners "if they want another couple of mining accounts" as well as lemon, bibi and many others openly discussing account sharing. I'm sure every corp is the same, don't lie about it if your going anyway.
