I dont know who you are, but i just like to say the following.

I stopped playing PA in round 8 i believe and returned 3 weeks ago. And i like to congratulate you guys on making this game MUCH BETTER. Loads of changes compared to the first 8 rounds, and i am sure hardcore players have loads to whine and nag about, but all i can say is I ENJOY IT!. I bought 9 credits for next round, i will play and will try to get a few friends to sign up also. The game is nicer, easier to play if you cannot be oline 24/7 or want to have a rl

and just in general things have been made better and easier

Well done. I am back to stay!

Actually, most hardcore players I've spoken with far prefer PAX to old PA.

i actually ment to say that there is always improvement possible in some ppls eyes

isildurx · 2 Oct 2005, 19:56

I truly agree.

I returned this round, after being gone for four rounds, making this my first PAX round. And i thought it would be boring. Though after i got used to the new way of playing i greatly enjoyed it, since i thnik both the setup and the shipsstats are very good. Ok so alliance wise it was a little boring towards the end but in general excellent.

*waves to sigrid

I enjoy PaX a lot more than old style, i play/ed a few old style clones and they seem so... basic and unchallanging now, just a shame i dont have the activity to make best use of that fact!

Appocomaster · 2 Oct 2005, 22:35

Thank you :-).
Hopefully, future improvements will again improve the game rather than make it more "basic and unchallanging".
We'll try and keep the game accessable to new players, while making the variety provided by Engineering etc more pronounced, to make the game a bit more unpredictable.

horn just come and play eve with me silly

Mek · 5 Oct 2005, 01:26

tbh...i quit pa and elysium in round 9

i got reintroduced to the game back in round 11 and ive been here for 3 rounds so far. Pa is indeed as addictive as i remember and im loving it

long live pa

Kargool · 5 Oct 2005, 02:13

I can support that. Allthough I bitch alot about PA at times. I think that PaX++ is extremly good. (but dont quote me on it)

Kloopy · 5 Oct 2005, 10:20

You make my stomach have lots of butterflies all of you! :-) *hugs*

Zoro · 5 Oct 2005, 12:44

I was always one of those people popping onto forums from time to time saying that PA need at least 20k players to be fun (so i didn't join). I had played from round 4 to 7 which was great fun even though I wasn't in an alliance or anything.
Having just played round 14 I can just say that the new version of the game is FAR FAR better than before even though the player base in 14 was quite low.

Roll on round 15

Humpf - i was expecting this thread to be very sarcastic actually. Its a great feeling to be complimented for a change (even if i am not actually PA crew

).

Don't say that

Jolt will think they're doing a good job & made a good investment

Lets just hope we continue to move forward - games like this need to continually improve and offer new challenges if they are to survive in a world dominated by Eve et al.

The same is true for games like Eve or actually i guess for any kind of software.

sigrid · 7 Oct 2005, 20:38

I guess you have to have a break for a few rounds and play other games to appreciate PA again. Tho i must say i DO miss the large number of players. Altho prolly half of them were multies way back then

But anyways, I EVEN LOVED HAVOC!

cypher · 7 Oct 2005, 21:43

pffffffft old pa > new pa :P i still can't stand the fact it's useless to play after you got 8k roids. it's just not the way pa should be played imo :P

sigrid · 7 Oct 2005, 21:50

nah, old PA owns only community-wise i think. It was special, rounds 2-3-4(parallels in that round i believe fs) because there were so many ppl playing and everybody knew everybody. But that all has changed, the alliances have etc, but the game, purely the game, is nicer

Up to us to rebuild that old pa community then

actually he has a good point, why is their a limit of 8K roids? I don't understand why it's needed - the wars are all mostly won by this time anyway so its only a few planets who'll get above 8K roids anyway.

Ice-Lady · 16 Oct 2005, 09:40

He may well have a good point. But I can't comment further.

Heartless · 16 Oct 2005, 11:31

If I remember correctly the 8000 roids mining limit was introduced back then to set a limit to the growth-rate of the top planets.

However, with such a small playerbase only very few people reach this limit anyways. Removing it? Unsure, that would require more hct researches.

Alessio · 16 Oct 2005, 11:47

The limit is rarely reached as you guys mentioned...
But that doesnt make it useless

I suppose that limit is their to keep those planets touchable *cough*
