That’s right. Those of you who like to keep up to date with happenings on Tribal Wars will have seen the settings for W68, which is to start on 25th of March. If not, then you can find them here.
So, what exactly is so catastrophic about these settings? Indeed, my initial thought was that they looked pretty good; 1/1 speed, coins, no archers, no churches.
Wait a second. What’s that that Morthy’s saying above that? Surely announcing the win conditions doesn’t take all that space.
"This world will have a number of additional features available that can be purchased using premium points:
Build time reduction / Build instant
Build cost reduction
Merchant exchange
Additional resource production
Flag packages"
Any newer players viewing this thread might well be wondering what’s so significant about these new settings.
The .net server has always been committed to not being p2w (pay to win). This has been part of the whole basis of .net as a server. Throughout the many, many years, it has been committed to being the server that anyone can play no matter what your race, language and most importantly, the amount of money you have. For years, .net has stood firm as the smaller servers gradually introduced more and more features which gave those who are willing to pay an advantage.
Alas, this has now come to an end, and InnoGames have seemingly decided to disregard their loyal customer base (which is already dying) in return for additional money. The smaller national servers mentioned earlier (.uk and .us among others) have from here on failed and shrunk, with players emigrating to .net, to play a fairer and more enjoyable game. Now, it seems inevitable that .net will follow, and those of us who remain will merely be able to watch, powerless as the game which we know and love is destroyed before our eyes, and gradually runs into the ground.
The one question remaining is that of what to do, and it is this that has caused me to make this thread. I am making a protest tribe. A tribe of as many players as we can find who oppose these additional pay to win settings, and want something done about it. We will group together, the last bastion of Tribal Wars as it once was, we will join W68, and we will act.
It will be a tribe without limits. Due to the small member limit of 40, there will certainly be more than one actual IG tribe, but in terms of playing, we will be as one. And we will pre-reg, join at the centre of the world, dominate the core by making everybody else restart and ruining it for them. Then, we’ll restart to a different location, do the same thing and then we’ll move again, and continue to do this until the world is successfully ruined. We’ll aim to have at least 200 people, so that we can completely flush all other tribes out of the possibility of the game.
P2L (P3L,P4L,P5L Etc) Pay to Lose
We’re coming to ruin W68, and ruin W68 we will, saving InnoGames the job, and at least we’ll have fun whilst doing it.
