Dead servers? Maybe not.

for quite a while now, haypi has been receiving a lot of mail (some hate mail, too) about the crisis of the older servers, losing players, and going quiet, and inactive. i have a few ideas that might help, but well, thats entirely up to them...



i have 4 ideas.... a couple of them are not as great as the others.

idea 1: haypi, please stop the opening and development of new servers, for the time being, such that players may cool down and stay on the servers they have accounts on, and allow the super servers time to accumulate old members again.

idea 2: go back to the original idea of haypi, where once you are on a server, you cant change UNLESS, you use the switch server option to change servers. this is not my favorite idea, however, until the problem of deserted servers, clogging up your bandwidth and money, this may be the best solution.

idea 3: raise the level requirement as to when you can change servers, to say, 13, instead of 10. this isnt a permanent solution, it will only encourage more coin spending to get to the next server. however, it will slow the progress of "server hoping" down a little.

idea 4: give a log in bonus for being on a server for say, an hour a day. something like, 5k money, or a chest, or something cheap, but still enough to keep players on for an hour on a server. this will keep players on an older server for at least an hour. it seems to work well in other games, i would imagine it would work well in this game as well.

1. I think this is very likely to happen for a bit...when we get to sever 100 (Not counting merges)

2. No comment.

3. Agreed!!!!!

4. I like the idea, but I'm not sure it will do what you want it to.
Most older servers have a lot of very high level people, would you stay on a server for a hour just for 5k money or "something cheap"? I know I wouldn't.


All in all, I like these ideas a lot!!

idea 4 would not really fix the problem imediatly, but if the rewards got progressively bigger, until the end of the week, perhaps. or maybe if each log in gave you a chance for a much larger reward, like a gold chest or a crown or scepter, as well as giving the 5 k money, then it could fix the problem until haypi does something else with the server changing.

Like the ideas. Especially four that seems like a really good idea, possibly bring in more money.

I like the ideas 3 and 4. 4 is an extremely good one in my opinion.

I like, 3 and 4.. 2 would be ok >:D

Defiantly agree with 3 and 4 as well.

I like #4 although I can see someone who might just leave it on for an hour to get an item then leave, maybe with or without playing, especially feeders, unfortunately feeders may ruin another good idea the lvl increase would be welcomed and to get some of the older server players you would probably need more lvls/items or something to keep it going.... maybe do an alliance mine thing for individual players, make it a king of the hill type thing with a monthly prize. Anyway, I agree that some changes need to happen and hopefully it will result in active servers that remove all the clutter of inactives and such. Maybe after implementing them start merging the 100 series servers?
(sorry about the rambling slightly tired and can't track my thoughts clearly, hopefully some of it makes sense)

it made sense, but keep in mind that none of those ideas were without room to change to better benefit the situation. i think that haypi could manipulate the ideas how they see fit.

the main point in idea 4 was to get players to be at least using the accounts on the servers, other wise, there is no point in keeping the server running. it would just cost bandwidth, and sequentially, more money. but keeping the server active at least for an hour per say, 5k players at least on a server, the servers aren't so likely to go completely inactive, and they can get more coin purchases spread through multiple servers.

Yeah I see it point. It would be good. Servers will have active times I guess. But maybe ppl would get addicted again and keep playing.
