Eternal soul, what did you get?

[hold]

Hold - have you thought about eBay? Very curious what an account goes for. What are your thoughts on how much you'll get?

No I haven't. As Killhouse mentions I don't even know if that would be legal. Might be a grey zone - the terms of services mention that I can only use it for non-commercial - but if I ask for what I put into? I don't know. My silent hope still is that the band steps in one day and hands the thing over to a company that can actually deal with it. Give it to some Open Source hackers and they will make it almost bug free in no time I guess.

On a side note: You wouldn't believe how much other shit I got done since quitting this game. Even I ran my troopers on auto and all this - it still took a huge junk of time out of my day. At the moment I am enjoying this time so much and I am far more focused on my work which I finish also quicker because I am not getting distracted. Dealing with a fast pass option would be ok. Takes a few minutes to burst through your troopers but farming on a high level took several hours.

So for now I consider myself on a very extended break - at least until the time sink and the bugs are addressed. If the game is still around by than? I honestly have my doubts. Even the patience of the absolute hardcore Maiden fans has limits and with the last "big event" (not my words) they seem to have overdone it - just read the comments on the forum and Facebook.

A few days ago Askora mentioned that even their videos (they are quite cool tbh) are watched only by a few thousand people. Too little to keep the thing running on the long term if you ask me.

The ever so positive "Professor" Slauki is slightly loosing faith - if I read in between his lines. Other hardcore players are very silent or mention the game is dying (gmac) ...

What I never understood: The amount of f*ck ups within updates and so on (no rewards in arena since 1923 now) - it does not cost them anything to compensate the players a little bit. Instead of apologizing and showing that they care about the player base - they sell 3 skill shards for 50 quid or stupid 3* trash for 100 ironite (SK mentioned that saying "thanks for still playing we sell those souls for 50 or even 20" would have been a nice move) <- Still doesn't cost them anything. If you f*ck up over and over you might want to give instead of taking and taking - at least that is how you keep customers in the real world (and stop screwing things up).

I am however amazed how pain resistant and loyal Maiden fans are. If the band reads this - they can be proud of what they achieved around the world with high quality, good shows and awesome music. The state this game is in ... I stop now otherwise it can get ugly ...

I am aware that my last couple of posts are absolute poison for the company and the game - but it seems like they will only learn the hard way. That said I think only a proper "mutiny" would save this game.
