have to be honest here at the risk of getting flamed to death

round 10 was called to an end (quite rightly IMHO) regardless of wether it was crap or brill, it had reached the end of that rounds lifecycle

we then had a havok which arguably wasnt that much fun (bug exploits and coop all the inactives 3 bil res) or times so that anyone bothered much (over the xmas hols) most players simply went into semi active mode for the speedround promissed immediately following havock

after over a month what we can see is a long time with no apparent light at the end of the tunnel

given that the remaining playerbase is the hard core most wont wait so long this can be seen by the number of people / alliances going to games like the PLA one or eve ect in a big way.

what has kept those people till now in PA is mainly the community / alliance stuff so as people move over and see the grass on the other side is growing as opposed to appearing greener, the interest in PA wanes. (Fact an increasing number of people i talk to in the abovementioned games have less than zero intention of comming back)

whats actually needed is some free action eg:- and old round or round 10 with some ammendments and it needs to be running now . this could be a stage between normal and full on speed round which may actually entice people to pay for such a beast.

what we actually are getting is good intentions and very frank reasons why it isnt happening and the classic "its someone elses fault" stuff , but zero is announced on the delivery front which, in all honestly is all most people actually care about ( example i wouldnt wait in pizza hut for 2 months for a deep pan because they have no cheese Id be at dominics saying "wasnt it a shame pizza hut closed" in between courses)

so simply ( and hopefully without anyone taking it personal)

for every day nothing appears to happen, more and more people will trickle...then flood to other ventures. Its now getting to the point (and some alliance leaders might even say that its well past this point already) where any remaining alliance worth its salt will be making hard decisions on where its efforts are going to be pushed in the future to serve its members best.

regards all
