Seemed like an appropriate time for a scribble from yours truly.

There was a bit of an uproar concerning the player/administration meeting a few days ago, so I though that I should share my insights on the matter.

In any social game it is always a positive thing when game owners actually reach out to the community and talk about creating a more enjoyable gaming experience. This is the end of positive aspects when eDominations is concerned. Allow me short elaboration.

Administration of this game (hats off to the exceptions) is ONLY interested in profit. Simple, pure and understandable - capitalism. Any potential change to the game mechanics is reflected to the gross gold amount in the game, but the brass is NOT concerned about an impact on the economy of the game: but an impact on their respective pockets.

Moral of my short scribble is this – before actually suggesting a change to the game owners, you must do a calculation on how it will impact their income (euphemism that they use often: gold flow). Even then your suggestion might not be considered out of : laziness, incompetence or any other imaginable reason.

That is it for now. I do not do text-walls. Pardon my French.

*before actually suggesting a change to the game owners, you must do a calculation on how it will impact their income* Making a suggestion comes with hopes of improving the game in one way or another. Improving the game means it s more enjoyable for the community, hence they are more willing to stay and play and more likely to spend money on a game they actually like. As a bonus, even more people will think about registering to play a game where Admin tend to listen to their community and apply changes based on needs and demands of the community. Of course, they won t implement everything we suggest, because that might cause more problems than good.

@NK - By all means, players should suggest away. I am only presenting the facts about the outcome.

In any case, the Admins should reflect on how they ve been managing the community and make amends.

dont be child ...ofc they care about their pockers ,if you want the game to keep running then they need money ....they may live from this game ,they will make changes that will help the community and wont harm their income OFC its totally logical ...at least now they speak with some players (that represent our community ) ...you may dont like this council but this is it mate ,we got something at least ,in other games they dont even bother speaking with community w/e ...i dont expect you to agree with me ..this is just mu opinion..

Don t misunderstand me Terminon, facts are: running a game cost, players offer suggestions and form a council, administration offers to -talk-. The thing is..I have DONE THAT in a game called eRevollution (which I left subsequently) run by the same people, for the most part...and with the same outcome. And as I said at the start of my article, it is a good thing that players and the brass discuss the game changes...when there is a hope of an outcome. Think about it...besides the map change, what actual quality updates were there (providing that the map change is)? Recycled events and cosmetic gfx and code changes. So my dear child..my argument is sharp like a wooden phallus, although it may be logical or re-inventing the hot water.
