Keep Subspace Alive

[maketso]

Fix the leagues and make them more interesting. For example I think everyone would like to play World Cup in jav and wb too?

Heres how to save subspace

Imo the best way to make sure subspace doesnt die, would be to merge zones. Seriously.

It has been done before in small scale and for example svs zones were forced to do that when the playerbase started to decline. After the merge (dueling zone etc) into chaos it kinda revived the zone for a good long time. Now it's losing players again just like tw and other zones seem to be doing also.

Tinkering with arenas and making small rule adjustments won't even delay the end for long, but perhaps making big adjustments and perhaps a merge or two would go a long way towards extending subspaces "life".

Sure, the newbies in zones would not perhaps like these adjustments, but hey they can still stick in their pub if they want to, not like they are contributing players (most of them) in leagues, elims, events (other than the newb events and mass-rapings like zombies). If you think about it, for example for twl it really doesn't matter if we have 1 or 4 pubs full of ppl playing while twl matches are being played. Sure some of them now and then decide to compete with other squads and perhaps start to play leagues and such, but relying on that for the source of new twd and twl players isn't the best way perhaps.

If we were to merge zones, it would make it easier for ppl to experiment with other settings, rules, arenas, leagues and just try out stuff and maybe start to like it. I know I'd love it. In any zone its the ppl who play in leagues and such that have the most talent and can adopt different settings the best (usually), with more ppl like that trying other zones it could seriously boost the playerbase, and in every zone there are the pub newbs who don't really play anything else and don't influence the number of squads in league or the level of competition. I mean come on, a lot of players in tw play other zones too (me included) and in other zones its the same way. I believe nowadays new talent comes from other zones perhaps even faster than from among the pubbers. Just look at some of the ppl playing in tw leagues.

This is something I think would work in the long run better than what we are doing now. I'd just hope staff in different zones would see how much bigger the benefits are compared to the smallish loss of zone independence.

For example I liked when zone66 was adapted into tw and played that some, but it was done so late the zone was pretty much dead already.

TW ideas:

Also we could try out some crazy stuff, like what about basing with like 15 v 15 or 12 v 12, with 2 entrances and perhaps 2 terrs and more flags or just 1 flag with 2 entrances or whatever. You get my point. Shake things up a bit. Let's at least try whats it like with twd twl caliber players instead of the usual mindless pubbers.

In spider league remove the bricks and make it about killing the other team out rather than points. Much more fun that way.

Merge elims, please do it before the arenas die out completely. What the hell are you waiting for?? Yes fancy new arenas, yet the old one with elim and belim merged was simply the best. Even ppl who complained about having to play with a jav or a wb still played, and got better.

Ok please comment.

:greedy:

tw better pull some type of money outa there ass and start advertising... killing new ppl is always fun

Exalt for moderator

LOLNO

LOLNO, lets hire an ex cheater who energy hacked and was netbanned


oh wait... we already did.... I guess this game already DID die


no sense in saving it now... ex cheaters are staff

[Edify]

This game isn't going to get a mega burst of new players. It's only going to be old players that feel nostalgic and want to return to the game that took up thousands of hours of usage when they were younger.

I think you guys should stop talking about this game dying. It's not like we didn't have periods of time when there was a lesser population playing TW. We all need to stay positive. Because with all this dying stuff, it's making me feel like I want to quit too. Personally, I blame the lack of players on the economy. Now days people need to go outside and look for work/do work, instead of sitting at home and playing video games :fear: ... not me though.
IMHO

[RATTY...]

Let the game die already, and let the whole population convert to FLYFF and fly around on broomsticks.

You can do things either two ways:

- Develop the technologies that maintains player population within the zone, and when players leave, they will lose out on such benefits. Trench Wars doesn't really have strong mechanisms in this sense, why don't we develop them and implement them? Just get thinking. What can we offer players while they play subspace? Leagues, squads, events, hell, even technical support.

- Simply enough, bringing more users in. I have identified that it is mainly the social factor of the game that keeps players there. Chat is a well structured and simple yet well developed system. If we bring more players, we're enhancing the chat system by providing more players to talk to each other. More user interaction will take place, more friendships will be made, and the game will be made more fun, giving people a reason to stay.

Let me talk about the first point in more detail now. I said we should develop the technologies that maintains the population in the zone. We're limited by the client's capabilities, and one example of improvement we can't implement is PROPER diagonal tiles. Imagine a game in which you could bounce tiles from corners, but they will bounce back in the correct direction due to enhanced physics? Javelin would become a hell of a lot more interesting to play, but we can't implement this.

I know subspace is being rebuilt in another client (I think this is still being worked on) as discretion, if successfully done, this game could be seeing greater enhancements.

So wait, what am I trying to say? Well, we should be putting this game out more through advertising, because continuing to work on technologies that would keep our users here is definitely not going to be easy, as we can only really do it through new bots and original ideas. More events isn't going to help, we need to tackle the situation directly, not indirectly through only slightly relevant angles. We'll have to see what happens after that.

This thread is a perfect example of why Subspace needs to die.

[kthx]

Guy should be shot for reproducing with the lowest common denominator of the zone.

[Sirius]

god mega newbie you are one sick fuck. If the only way TW can live is by you and J B Inc fucking and impregnating equally ugly girls like Goddess than I think the game should just die already.

Lol, I almost am inclined for this very reason to say let it live, for the lulz

Who Cares

[kthx]

topics too big to wander off of.

[Xog]

This post is here to specifically, slowly, wander from the topic of Goddess.
