More people than ever have, played this game when it was free to all, and there were no GCs and cash accounts.
There were no restrictions on war because nobody could go whining about the loss of their real world assets, when somebody took all there countries.
But noooo!?! W3C wanted more money?!?. So came GR and resets. People left, and people whined, and people made stupid polls. The participation in the game declined each and every time W3C tried to make a smaller and smaller active player base happy. The number of players registered may improve, but the number players actually engaging in the game has been in freefall for a long time.
W3C, needs to hire a consultant to help them come up with a profit model that actually works.
Also historically the number of spins, has depended on the speed of the server, If your good you don't need to log in every month to keep your country running.

I do not take any of the comments above personally. But personally I will continue to speak my mind.
It is unfortunate that only a handful of players speak their mind on the board.

Agreed with Hymy. This game is suppossed to be a sim in the real world in theory every country could attack every other one. So why is not every single country involved in perpetual warfare? because of economic concerns,and the threat of U.N. action. For this game to call itself "sim" it needs to incorparate these real world elements into gameplay. If you have money invested in the game and don't want to be invaded simply join a fed or appeal to the (hopefully) stronger SC. There are no artificial barriers to keep some players pride intact at the expense of the game as a whole.

I'd be up for moving GR or KB from 4 to 6, but aside from that the game speeds are fine how they are. I like speed at 4 game-months per day quite all right.

I'm only talking about how this pretains to the war game. OF course thier are other unrealistic elements in this game due to the inclusion of the GC and cash market. So are you saying that the point of this game isn't to mimic real world countries in a Sim format? Hence the word theory that I used.

I thought the point of a game was to enjoy it, and to be successful at it if you're a competitive type of person.
Any other game I've ever played has a rule book or set of rules and those are what you play by. (excluding me making up rules on my little brother when we were about 10

).
If there's an issue, highlight it, but otherwise keep your daft suggestions to a minimum. Careful what you ask for, you can all see the results of the much asked for but badly implemented war levels.
