Where is everyone

seems like a week or more since i've checked here
maybe one post on the 28th, nothing new for almost a month? this is weird

This game doesn't seem to attract social types anymore.

I'm here. Lurking.

I'm here, plotting my revenge at... Oh look a squirrel!

I’m here.

Hello, Vienna calling.

Hello! I am a long-time player, but I'm mostly on FB.

Long term player here like August, been on and off Fearless Blues since the early 2000's. I stopped coming to the form. It's hard to get a response from anyone. I like to screw around and have fun. I have a dry sense of humor. I have no problem with competition or aggressive players it's a fun part of the game. I hold no grudges you win some you lose some.
Christ I think I'm writing an ad on a dating site.
Rumor is White Giant is the place to be. Any truth to that?
We need to post here on the Form, it makes the game more interesting and it gives new players insight on how we interact and players they can reach out to. I think this is important for and ultimately what will make new players long term players.

Yes White Giant Is pretty active, that's where I'm at.

I've been around since 2006

Can't believe I will be doing 20 years here soon!

I remember how bad the graphics were. Your armies had no limits. fire 50,000 tanks at a time if you wanted. The game is much improved. What do you think I've seen you around forever SuperSoldlerRCP. Is White Giant the new hot spot?

I remember these days too.
I remember wars with millions of weapons.
250.000 jeeps?

2006 is hard to believe but I have been here with you all that time.
Not all the time on the forum but building the game/programming.

Nearly everyone is here for many years. working on Simcountry but also doing bespoke work and consulting work.

Nubia is stil around, took a break and came back

checking back since I posted that a week ago

way more of you responded than I expected

I will eventually buy or conquer control on White Giant, but Fearless Blue has always been my home for better or worse. Says there is like 500 players on FB but they must be Anti-Social haha.

Any one notice that for 2 weeks theirs no silver can’t order can’t buy air any where
Need to for my corps on

So is White Giant the place to be? Not looking to conquer the world, but more interaction with players would be nice.

LOL

im here but not for long as when u need to wage a war to get your country too level 2 the nation you take over is debt ridden seem every one you take over is the same
what a con so they want 10 gold cions to bail out
also making it members only to get lvel 3 tech corps is not going to make people play or stay for long and restrictions on much needed goods raw materials is making the game pay only or you may as well not bother with also no silver what ever is availble white giant ???
so 4 corps wil have to shut down cos i cant get silver no matter how much your willing to pay for it

Sometimes it's just better to cancel your country and start over. Try and reach out to your neighbors early and see if you can join a close by Fed. Long distant Feds can only give minimal help. Sell your army off as soon as you restart this will give you capital to build your infrastructure, education and health. Build corps. Can't tell you how to set them up tax wise not my strength in the game. Slowly build up your army before you're moved into I believe its level 3. I do not know If white Giant requires / places your country at lev 3 like Fearless Blue.

I used to be really active back in the mid 2010s, back when I was an obnoxious teenager. Life came around so I stopped playing for a while. WG may be the most active but it feels like a ghost town to me. Although I dont help since I also am not very social either tbh. I guess most of us are all just busy building/maintaining our empires.

Sadly in my opinion, if new players decided to reach out to established players more often. Mentorships would be more common. Ive never once had a negative reaction to reaching out to a stranger in this game. Its like.. Oh wow someone has acknowledged my existence. Lets be friends.. I feel its often that simple due to just how rare interactions are in this game.

It seems that new players either dont know how or are intimidated in some way that they dont want to reach out to anyone. This game is not easy to figure out on your own. A lot of trial and error involved when youre still just figuring things out. Even after playing for years in the past I have to re learn everything and keep making mistakes now to keep up to date with changing game mechanics.

New players are daunted by the complexity of the game, I knew I was.

On and Off since mid 2000s, was FB now fully WG. WG is the place to be.
