Why does everyone think their stimulation is going to come from watching D12 take on UNT? I think I've been asked that about 20+ times in-game since I've been back and I've told them, its not gonna happen and even if it did, it will not automatically make everything more exciting for you. Actually, I think the great majority of players still won't be able to take cities from either UNT or D12 despite being at war with each other. Despite popular opinion, UNT vs D12 will
not make Iota seem like an
acid trip.
Iota is boring because there is no end-game in sight. Dozens of players have left already for 2.0 worlds because of that.
1. Innogames stopped fixing the glitches to 1.26 worlds in April.
2. Innogames promotes holidays such as Halloween on other 2.0 worlds, but will not in the 1.26 worlds. Miss the pumpkin hunt? Yeah, it was fun and you missed it.
3. On 9/19, Innogames is beta-testing and developing a 3.0 world, which anyone remembers about the beta testing for the 2.0 worlds, it will take a while. Like 6 mo to a year.
4. This summer, a lot of us gave our opinions on which of the 4 main upgrades from 1.0 to 2.0 worlds should be used. Since, I haven't heard if any of them have been taken into consideration.
There is no public timeline or plan to upgrade to 2.0, leading me to believe that there won't be one. If there isn't an upgrade, this world will languish on, losing a lot more of the interesting, active players. There are less than 2,332 players left (don't count those with 0 & 175 pts), down from 3,000 in September.
I'd rather just catch a ball in a cup til Innogames figures it out. And play 2.0. Because really who needs constant electronic video stimulation when there's
ball in a cup? LOL
