Hello everyone,

Concerning the recent attacks against turtles, I understand and respect the point of view of fleeters/miners/turtles.

For miners/turtles who are angry with fleeters, it is not fleeters` fault even if they can be sometimes annoying.

In the long run, it is a danger for all players to make people quit the game. Regular attacks from fleeters are essential and thrilling, but they must not be too excessive.

Think positive everyone -> we have at least 1 common thing : we are angry!!!! (a little joke to calm us down)

The blame is not to put on players, irrespective of their game style....The problem is elsewhere !!!!


Current situation in the game :
======================================
Before going to the cause of this issue, let me talk a bit among my personal finding about the current situation.

By looking throughout the planets/universes, there are few active players for many months. In fact, many players tend to go inactive without entering into vacation mode for 1-2 weeks and then play again. Are you seeing that part of the iceberg? As it will take days to have good piles of resources, many players (careless and desperate) use that technique in the hope that they will have good piles of resources when they come back to play the game again.

Game Survival :
======================================
For the game survival in standard server, there need to be a right equilibrium:
- Good miners producing huge piles of resources
- Turtles investing in fleets and mines
- Fleeters looking for some nice challenges with decent fleets to take down
- Ability to rebuild fleets rapidly

Major Drawback of the Game :
======================================
The game has a major drawback that it is killing itself -> slow mining rate

With its slow mining rate, this means that mines don`t generate enough -> that stuck the game in all aspects!!!

Game Enhancement needed :
======================================
In order to evolve with the players community, I strongly recommend the top management of ZORG EMPIRE to pay attention to study about the benefits of improving the mining rate in Standard server.

If the mining rate can be increased a bit in standard server, it will be a different story.

Benefits of that Game Enhancement :
======================================
- As everyone will benefit from it, all players will have equal and fair chances.

- Moreover, it will make the game more interesting.

Think about mines generating huge pile of resources...bigger fleets are built...decent fleets are destroyed (that`s part of the game)...players have good chances to rebuild the fleets rapidly...a rivalry competition starts and everyone will be keen to play the game.

- With a high player participation on standard server, the game will be much more interesting and motivated players will be keen to invest more in zorg rubies.

It will be a win-win situation for players and ZORG EMPIRE company!!!

Conclusion :
======================================
Last but not least, I would like that all the players` community unite under the same banner in order to support my idea : Enhance the game by speeding its mining rate first.

By the way, we can talk later about other game improvements such as ACS Attacks,etc...

I count on all players to voice out their opinions to the ZORG EMPIRE company as we are all here to play the ZORG EMPIRE game because we had appreciated it for a couple of months.

Because we feel that ZORG EMPIRE game is fun and want it to still be the case, we want the top management to think about this game enhancement.

To Top management of ZORG EMPIRE : The destiny of the Standard Server lies in your hands now.

Thanking you in advance for your attention on this important matter!!!

Best regards,

That was will said my friend. I am all for anything but what is going on now. Standard is not something that is less then xtrreme, but a diffrent. Do not thing that we dont need something that xtreme gets because they server moves faster. We need teh same things as xtreme to make us just as good of a server.

Thanks

Sorry

ELM: it is a valid reasoning to have some features implemented in extreme server also in standard sever

Others : Knowing that it is a strategy game, we all know that time and patience is a must.

But a little speed in mining rate (up to management to find the good rate -> not too much/not too low) can only bring good to this game

I put this thread for all players irrespective of their game style to voice out their opinions openly

anyone else has any comments or suggestions to make ?

An autobiography of a miner:

He is called a miner cause from his income let it be from fleeting/raiding/mine production the majority of it is spend on mines.

On his daily workings the primary focus is to gather resource in an amount so that he can build the next building upgrade. for that he fetches resources from planets around. the other aspect of his duties is to exercise the attack fleet to raid/fleet.

all in the objective to build up mines.

now this miner lives in the universe which is rather slow in production, in transport also in any other missions, and production speed is somewhat limited to match the other factors.

why this miner dwells in this universe?

- insufficient time to invest in daily.

So he uses a portion of his daily life in this game and at a slow and steady way goes about it.

Risks:
-Off all the time he is not online, another fleeter or raider might catch his idle resources or crash fleets.

What does he do to prevent that?
-He simply barricades his planets with enough defense that will prevent the fleeter/raider from taking his daily income.
-Uses enough Cargo ships to load and Fleet Save over night and till he gets back online so that his resources and fleet is safe.

Does this pleases the miner?
-He is limited by the time he can spare so with that time in hand sure he is pleased with his progress. after all all he wanted is a slow and steady growth. and when he has a bit of time in hand send out missions and still have time enough to do his works and come back to see the hits.

now is that possible?
-yes it is.

Now what if he wanted something more speedy or more fast or higher returning?
-He will consider to move to a new place Called Extreme.

I am saying that the mine rate adjustment (not too much) is needed in Standard Server without changing the main objectives of both servers, i.e Extreme Server remain the fastest server but reducing a bit the gap between both of them.

I can`t see any constructive comments in your reply except sarcasticism!!!

take it how ever you see fit, but that server is intended to players whose style of game play matches what i wanted to portray there. If u have read carefully you would see there are some valid reasons and some fine explanation given to address why the standard server is how it is.

what u are asking for is going to change the server for all together, the twicks in mining or any other speed factors essentially going to change the games identity for which is should differ from Extreme or any other fast server.

i do not say it as without personal game play time in that server. i am playing in standard and so i know for fact how it is and accepted it.

the mines are slow yes they are but it still can produce faster if u have higher mines, ships are slow adjust ur game play to match it. I say RIPs has the perfect use in standard rather in extreme where it still can be used as a front line attack fleet. you should not forget that there are no limits. i was a bit surprised to find my surplus today in standard. you should not compare the resource total with extreme. try to find the economical balance in that server.

An old thread but it has been implemented In fact, doubled (1 month ago)

hear hear
Ancients-I agree with you.
When I first joined standard, I joined because it was the most generic of the servers, being called 'standard.'
Well, turns out that it is extremely slow. T.T
I had my fleet crashed 2-3 times so far, ***** but its part of the game. The only bad part is the rebuild-the resource production is still pretty slow.
Maybe its just that my gameplay style just *****. LOL
well, i think this is an awesome speech-ish and I congratulate you for spending the time and effort to improve this game.
If they want a slow server, make one called slow. xD
0.5 everything.
