BIG NO

like spy said , if we force to active when we cant ,better put our production to 0
so there is no different

well what is a vacation other than taking a break? if someone takes a break from the universe to get a little bit of breathing time what is the harm in that?

and u should really find out the real issue with this.

ZE as a game as we have seen matures at 2 years time. by that i mean for a game like this to have a complete player base to make it sustainable the time span is 2 years for best but 18 months is also a minimal age, where the game goes beyond suitable for starter players.

just an FYI zorg has literally spammed in universe after universe (having a totally flawed perception about game play, well you cant expect a good game play strategy from a marketing guy who doesnt play the game) and thinned out his player base.

none of the universe except xtreme was gone for that many length of period of saturation. players go to vmode cause they do not have anything for them to care about to stay in and keep playing. i care about my accounts cause i have invested almost 3 years of my life in this game. thats something one always care about and that is why players (true) players like me will never leave this game.

but our game adminstrators do not care about that.. they just want quick money and sell the game to new players till they get bored with vmoders and thin out the old universes and push them to the new one.

either create bigger player base or stop spamming universe like a wh@re. pardon my language but thats exactly what this looks like in layman's term.

I agree with spy to a extent the game doesn't keep player's interest thats why alot drop out quick, but I don't think a vmode keeps players here or would impact were the majority of new players stay or go, that does get interest, ships, battles, and alliances do.
I've played the game enough over the years to see vmode wasn't a good idea, not everybody liked the idea of vmode when it was suggested and I supported the idea of vmode and now I really regret that.
I don't look to argue I just know the game was better without it
because you couldn't give up and go into vmode nobody likes being destroyed and when you can't retreat to v mode safety then you only option was to keep playing

i dont know man... personally i dont like to hold my ps2 joystick in my hand and not play rather just watch other play at it...

sitting back and let things pass by is not my style... unless i am forced to...

i can not say about others but if i am able to play i am playing... right now i am playing as much as i can.

Spy you're a dying breed though, nowadays people just retreat into VM as soon as they get crashed, we see it all the time and they may plan on coming back out, but alot of the time they don't.

I agree with spy I play as much as I can, I have no intent on using vmode if I get hit then well it happens
vmode hurts the game when players use it and quit, if that didn't happen I'd say vmode is awesome for when you really need it not for quitting.
