I could see one giant island... if we didn't have all these cool Biremes floating around... and soldiers who enjoyed water skiing between conquests.

I think if we made a smaller world, we'd need to limit alliances... say an alliance can't have more than 20 players or 20% of the total points of the world...

And like the Highlander... in the end, there can be only one!

or two if they're Siamese Twins... cuz that seems gross that one would have to cut the head off the other and then drag a headless corpse around for the rest of his life.

Player interest is easy to increase all it takes is players to be interested in being active in the forum and if a couple of players start some balls of interest rolling that could spark an increase in posting......All that has to be done is use some imagination and thoughtful insight and BANG the forums are active......:p

I know a fair number of players who stopped using the forum because of excessive moderation.

Hell, I'd be surprised if this post lasts a day.

That is easy, ease up and have a more relaxed stance on forum moderation....Their is strict and then their is strict.....if moderation is too strict and highly limited then this forum will die a very slow death and that would be a shame........Closing eyes, waiting to be infracted and beat up.....lol

Actually Alpha our preferred mod due to his reasonable nature.


-You have no idea how many times I had to edit that to not get another infraction from the other mods.
I'll probably still get a 2 pointer.

That is good to know......So many times I have been discouraged from posting anything......Not everything can be all rosy and smelling good, the good comes with the bad and if only huggy nicey posts are wanted and ALL negativity is not wanted then the result is a little used forum....More often than not a little controversy creates a VERY ACTIVE forum.......Of course balance is necessary......not all posts should be negative but a little spice now and then works very well......

The alpha forum indeed died as a result of excessive moderation in the early days. The mods have learned thereafter, but it was too late, the guys/gals who made this place interesting had already left the crime scene :/

Beta and delta are following this forum-deadness thingy for different reasons. It's a shame as delta used to have the most active forum in the early days. Now I feel my world, gamma is the most active with around 15 or so active posters

Not if it was laid out such as a new forum post, bold and with a symbol, rather than a message in game.

Eg.

Everyone seems to be speaking, problem being they are all saying they are bored with Alpha.
