Yah, SL is fun.

SL is a long term startegy game if there is no long term it's not as fun playing. Want to make SL fun just reset it today or tomorrow or just say there won't be a reset. Until then the game will keep diyng a little bit more each day.

Well Arcanix thanks for making that point, but there we have it, why is it a long term game, when you know there is a short term boundary, you know its coming so why hold back, destory someone with your forces, got nuts, basically just attack and attack, why worry about defending big planets now?

whats the point of attacking now abe?
to get points? - reset
to destroy someone? - reset

Everyone is just waiting for a reset, there's no such oficial notice as THERE WILL BE A RESET, but THERE MIGHT BE A RESET, until then everything will keep the same lack of activity because few people actually thought it would come back and the big players atm they are just waiting to see what will happen, if a reset happens you have 3 months to dump resources if you wish, if it doesn't you will keep getting everyday more than 100k T for each hw you have.

For me Feb was a month i started doing some things, aimming at december, these things take time and if i get it half way it is a good as not doing nothing which is what i do atm, nothing so until some more info comes up i will just sit and enjoy some other games, SL has ONE thing other games don't offer, that is LONG TERM PLANNING, without it it sucks and there are far better games out there for everything else SL could offer.

I understand where you are coming from Arcanix but the main problem of SL before the downtime was the long term really was that, completely and utterly long term. There were not enough players to make a long term game interesting to outsiders, it seemed that the game was inactive

I understand better balancing is needed but at the moment surely it is simple, attack? Iiri has said the game will be reset, i myself cannot wait, a reset every couple of months i think would do this game alot of good, as new players can come in and play with the rest of us.

Example 3 month reset
You would have the players going for the first round, then the others who have saved for the second round, then the all out warfare of a final round. Then it starts again!

The problem of SL was the need to have 49 hws remove that and leave everything else, some minor chnages can help with other stuff as well.

3 month reset is a game i woudn't play, no hws to attack, massive probing required and the winner is the one who captured more production planets. Not what i expect from SL.

It was an example, and to remove the need is easy

You can only build buildings on one planet, problem solved, make the levels different, but it would do the job
