A well written column from Dragonlord aka. GO CREATORS

[Golin]

I am not going to make a big YEAH COME ON about it.

But i think Dragonlord's words are essential to this community and the reason some of us are here THE GAME:

The Game you all know and love or loved is getting BETTER surely thats a good thing. Surely you should be supporting this game your game of choice. Making it grow attracting more people.

Both you and I know what a good game Planetarion can be all you need to do is have a little faith in the creators. (waits for laughter)

I ain't saying Round 10 will be the Best ever, nor am i saying it will be the worst. But after playing Planetarion for so long now i at least am willing to give it a chance.

Spinner posted suggestions for how the travel system may work in Round 10. He asked for opinions.

However sadly again many people took this as an opportunity to diss the game and the direction it was going because they didn't like the travel system or one of the changes that may be made.

Please note 2 things. Firstly the word MAY. This may happen not this will happen. Secondly SUGGESTIONS. If you dont like it say so if you have a better idea say so. The Game is designed for you to play.

Instead of dissing the Creators and Ideas why not actually do something construction and get involved help them shape the game YOU want to play.

I know many players SADLY have lost their believe in the creators.
Me for one ain't part of that group.

The creators made the game we love/d so much and when they managed to do that, well i simply still believe in them because of that.

Personally i still get much fun outta r9 the 'old' round. The game is mainly the same as it's always been with modifications in both stats and gameplay.

This is the same game as in r1, 2, 3 and 4 and i admit that were the best rounds i've played, but i also admit that i fell in love with the game then and now i can't stop playing.

In some points i believe the creators could use critics. I highly agree to that.

The evelution of the game f ex. is going a bit too slow, but as we all know r10 will be a totally different game.

But the reason i wrote this is because i read what Dragonlord wrote.

The suggestions. Don't waste your perfectly good beer/cig breath on flaming the creators and saying you could do a better job! Ofc you couldn't!

Suggest your ideas, shape the game to your own favorite!

After all this game is made for each single player and potential players out there, it's not made to annoy critical betterknowers out there.

As i said. Nothing BIG, just thought the creators needed a little backup. It's far too few backing them up.

sure sure.. but the fact that we've lost ~170k planets since r3 can only mean one thing.. improvements hasnt been that good at all.. nor has the PR.. and the fact that they promised so much about stable servers etc with the new hosts.. makes me wanna puke :|

but ill still play

valle, we had 170k+ PLANETS back in the early rounds... we didnt have 170k+ PLAYERS in the early rounds ffs.

also, most of those ppl were inactive/non commited players. If you look at the majority of the community of PA now we are all commited to PA to some degree, some more than others.

I agree, that i found most of the first rounds more fun, and more interesting, but it was new back then. Now, its not the game that keeps most of us here, its the community that has grown up around it.

And i daresay the game could do with some "tweaks" here and there, but all this is most likely to appear during round 10.

I back up what was said here, support the creators, who have set up a community that has brought so much to many of us.

This community for some has actually brought more than sleepless nights in front of a computer, for some it has brought romance to those lucky couples that got together here, its brought drunken stupors of large groups of ppl from all over the world meeting up at various meets, gatherings, and parties and partying the nights away. And most importantly its brought friendship tbh quite like no others, considering some of the friends never actually get a chance to meet face to face...

thats all folks, im gonna shut up now.

Well in all fairness ur missing the point, the main reason for the drastic decrease of playerbase is that they made the game PAY TO PLAY and not creators changes or lack of changes, I know they had no other solution at the time but atm when they dont pay for the game anymore and a large company owns it I just don't get the plot anymore; why on earth would Jolt buy pa just to see it die within a few rounds, ie if they cant afford a free round they shouldnt have bought it in the first place as that is what it needs to grow again and would ofc pay off in the long run... So what im saying is that if next round isnt free, which im sure it isnt: "congrats u bought urself a dead game Jolt"

Its a nice column, shame nobody spell checked it (when spinny boy said it was well written was he taking the piss?).
