Closing Of World & Half Price Packets – Issue 10

December 16, 2010 in World 033 News

Hello World 33 .

This is the 10th issue of the blog, just before my blog with an LKJ council member comes out some time next week. This also includes an interview with rhandaltor, of the Legion tribe.

HALF PRICE PACKETS !!!!

Yep finally this world has under 1000 players as detailed here.

Here’s the Tribalwars message we received.

If at least 2/3rds of voters vote yes, the setting will be implemented on shortly after.Thank you,’ The Tribal Wars Team

The Vote Ended as this;
Yes 106 59.22%

No 73 40.78%

Votes cast: 179

I would consider that you all should have voted for what you believe should have happened. Its a shame out of the 900+ players we have, only 179 voted. Now as many have questioned on this world, half price packets on a 1-fixed noble world doesn’t really help you end the game quicker and/or make the world easier . As this quote below sums up nicely. ‘ It seems no one realised we are one of the few worlds with non-increasing prices for nobles, so no coins and packages to store. So making them cheaper is useless, we can already build as many as we want. ‘ Rhandaltor.So there has been a few suggestions formulated, ranging from no morale/time based morale to no fake limit anymore. Also a unanimous decision for the world to close to new members. I encourage everyone who plays world 33 to offer a suggestion and comment.Here is Rhands interview with me .

[12/7/2010 7:24:59 PM] Richard: Q. Before we start our official TW discussion, tell us a few things about yourself and what you do in RL.

[12/7/2010 7:25:25 PM] RhandAltor: I’m 24 .I work in a hardware store(do-it-yourself concept) .For the rest I go out alot, and tend to drink to much then I live in Belgium

[12/7/2010 7:27:15 PM] Richard: Q. How long have you been playing TW and how did you come to know of this game?

[12/7/2010 7:28:02 PM] RhandAltor: I started playing this game from 2007 I believe [12/7/2010 7:28:11 PM] RhandAltor: A mate found it, and told me I should try it [12/7/2010 7:28:27 PM] RhandAltor: Played on W4 in the top family tribe at the time DBD. Also w13. [12/7/2010 7:29:06 PM] RhandAltor: Asked some mods how to play

[12/7/2010 7:29:16 PM] RhandAltor: Was a support ticket mod for a while

[12/7/2010 7:29:43 PM] RhandAltor: I quit both worlds and the TW job when my computer crashed, and I didn’t have money to buy a new one . Was still a student then.

[12/7/2010 7:30:34 PM] Richard: Q. How did you start playing W33? Did you come here with other guys or just started randomly?

[12/7/2010 7:31:41 PM] RhandAltor: When i finally had a new pc, I wasn’t planning on starting again, because on W13 I led a tribe and as i liked to micro manage, I was basically playing 30 accounts, where I told everyone what to attack what to do etc, and nuked for them etc ^^, very time consuming.

[12/7/2010 7:31:51 PM] RhandAltor: But again a mate started on W33, and I couldn’t resist

[12/7/2010 7:32:03 PM] RhandAltor: I swore never to take part in any leadership roles though, and refuse council positions, stil do .

[12/7/2010 7:32:38 PM] RhandAltor: My mate quit early but I stayed, because of Tribal war legend and his awesomeness

[12/7/2010 7:37:17 PM] Richard:Q. How many hours do you dedicate and how do you plan to succeed? Q. We would like to know a little about your style of playing tribalwars ?

[12/7/2010 7:38:29 PM] RhandAltor: It varies alot, If nothing much happens, I build out some villages, send some resources and queue troops. Mainly because I tend to build all my nukes, and kill them all in a week, then I have to sit there for 2 months rebuilding them .

[12/7/2010 7:38:41 PM] RhandAltor: And as i’m mainly defensive, I don’t have so many nukes

[12/7/2010 7:38:59 PM] RhandAltor: the thing is, the more I get attacked, the more active I get

[12/7/2010 7:39:24 PM] RhandAltor: I tend to hibernate while building nukes, but when I get attacked or when the nukes are ready, my activity goes up ALOT

[12/7/2010 7:40:41 PM] RhandAltor: In low activity periods, I just do what’s needed, and check for incomings now and then. So that’s not much time. But in high activity periods, I can be on 8 hours or more spread throughout the day doing all kinds of stuff, and mailing and whining to people

[12/7/2010 7:45:29 PM] Richard: Q.How do you feel about V7 of tribalwars and the new features ranging from an account manager to a unit in the militia ?

[12/7/2010 7:48:04 PM] RhandAltor: I like the attack notification, that’s great, that way you don’t have to load up the game to see if you have new incomings, easier to keep track.

[12/7/2010 7:48:49 PM] RhandAltor: Village manager I don’t really like.

[12/7/2010 7:48:56 PM] RhandAltor: I think it will cause even more inactivity.

[12/7/2010 7:49:54 PM] RhandAltor: They might as well have removed increasing cost on queue’s then

[12/7/2010 7:50:21 PM] RhandAltor: If it works like I think it does, people will just set up queues, have all their villages auto-build over time, and will have no need to login and maybe read the forums etc while doing so

[12/7/2010 7:50:52 PM] RhandAltor: Troop manager, meh I think I’ll stick with my mass recruitment scripts

[12/7/2010 7:51:21 PM] RhandAltor: resource manager is nice for new worlds though, for those times you desperatly need a resource of some kind, and can’t find one when ur on

[12/7/2010 7:51:54 PM] RhandAltor: for the rest I like most stuff.

[12/7/2010 7:51:59 PM] RhandAltor: Militia looks awesome

[12/7/2010 7:52:12 PM] RhandAltor: will be possible to play way more offensive from the start

[12/7/2010 7:52:24 PM] RhandAltor: cause with a high level wall and militia units you might be able to save yourself

[12/7/2010 7:53:02 PM] RhandAltor: and concentrate on building mainly offensive right off

[12/7/2010 7:53:08 PM] Richard: All of the features are debatable and will cause conflict and happiness. Especially to any people who noble lower pointed villages or mainly barbarian villages. This will increase their productivity. Do you think that’s fair ? Will you be using it for 400 pp a month ?

[12/7/2010 7:54:50 PM] RhandAltor: Not at first, but I think I will want the attack notifications after a while . Especially when I get around to buying a fancy phone where I can check my emails and logon to TW

[12/7/2010 7:55:22 PM] RhandAltor: And yh, building up those barbs shouldn’t get to easy. I remember when i played world 13 barb nobling was still frowned upon heavily

[12/7/2010 7:55:53 PM] Richard: it is frowned upon everywhere !

[12/7/2010 8:02:47 PM] Richard: How do you feel that this world has reach a historic phase in achieving less than 1000 players yet only 170ish have voted in the survey to decide the next settings?

[12/7/2010 8:05:23 PM] RhandAltor: Lol typical, there might be 1000 players left, but can we really count anyone outside the top 100? I don’t want to discourage people or insult them, but if you don’t have more then 1 mil points now, what have you been doing all this time? Not very much if you ask me, and they probably never will. There will always be exceptions to the rule of course.

[12/7/2010 8:07:02 PM] Richard: Do you think we should have half price packets ? What about time-based morale or a no-fake limit ?

[12/7/2010 8:08:44 PM] RhandAltor: Half price-packets: Sure, but it has no point at all to do so, since our noblemen prices are 1 packet each and don’t increase, halving the price will change nothing at all. We can already noble what we want, fake with as many nobles as we want etc. As i just found out how much barbs are getting nobles, this might actually encourage more barb nobling .

[12/7/2010 8:11:55 PM] RhandAltor: time based moral: Not at all for it, some people who are small but do alot might get punished by this. Like compared to pherion, I’m small, so with time based moral, his moral on me will increase if he’s here as long as me, but many people who are alot smaller than him, have done alot more on this world. With all this barb nobling, time -based moral might not be very good.

[12/7/2010 8:12:19 PM] RhandAltor: Sitting in the backline nobling barbs and then getting a better moral on players all off a sudden who fight hard for a few villages on the front. Its just wrong.

[12/7/2010 8:14:29 PM] Richard: Who is the player you most respect out of the following tribes currently?

A: Legion

B:Hawks

C:LKJ

D:Detox

E:TW

And why you respect them the most ?

[12/7/2010 8:15:31 PM] RhandAltor: A: IFY forever . But for current players I think I’d have to go with Lussianos for giving support, and KoE for defending himself recently in the hit on him. And Pimpjam offensivly.

[12/7/2010 8:15:50 PM] RhandAltor: B: Acidburn, Very good bloke, has learned alot since the start off this world, and is now a relentless pro player in my eyes.

[12/7/2010 8:16:04 PM] RhandAltor: C: I really can’t say, I’m not near any LKJ players and haven’t come in contact with them. Personally, a bunch of them seems very willing to participate and grow though. So keep it up guy’s! I’ve noticed, if you take TW’s top 10 away, TW would basically be the same as LKJ ^^.

[12/7/2010 8:18:28 PM] RhandAltor: D: You ofcourse(mav, richard), For playing very well, keeping up with attacking, defending well etc, faking here and there, and for the blog work.

[12/7/2010 8:19:48 PM] RhandAltor: E: Definitely baseball2009star, none of the others have impressed me in any way, baseball is awesome, without him I predict TW would fall apart

[12/7/2010 8:20:01 PM] Richard: Who is the player who could do the most damage to their enemy

A: Legion

B:Hawks

C:LKJ

D:Detox

E:TW

And why you believe this .

[12/7/2010 8:26:47 PM] RhandAltor: A: Pimpjam can do some serious damage, KoE also can’t be underestimated.

[12/7/2010 8:27:27 PM] RhandAltor: B: Stiker because of his enormous amount of nukes, and sending alot at the same time. Acidburn for timing etc

[12/7/2010 8:29:31 PM] RhandAltor: C: Ratzeputz, He’s going for it on some hawks players.

[12/7/2010 8:29:46 PM] RhandAltor: D: you again ^^. Offensively. You are a very good attacker, you’ve proven that, you follow through etc and don’t give up. And you have a nice position in alot of places to attack from closeby.

[12/7/2010 8:31:16 PM] RhandAltor: E: Baseball2009star. If he’d had more frontline villages I’d be causious around him. Pinder maybe as well, he should ahve alot of nukes. And an enormous number could cripple someone. But he doesn’t follow trew enough. Should

[12/7/2010 8:37:01 PM] Richard: Which tribe do you most fear on w33 at the moment ?

[12/7/2010 8:41:03 PM] RhandAltor: Has to be HAWKS, with help of detox, but still HAWKS is the main threat to us. They have frontline players that keep it up. I wouldn’t call it fear though, but mutual respect.

[12/7/2010 8:46:24 PM] Richard: Player who could prove to make the biggest impact within the next 6months?

[12/7/2010 8:47:12 PM] RhandAltor: If stiker would quit, that would have a big impact

[12/7/2010 8:50:09 PM] RhandAltor: Well I have no idea, it could be alot of players, I can’t predict the future. For all I know Pinder might go crazy and push forward. Or KoE could push stiker back. Or mavarok could rejoin legion .

[12/7/2010 9:02:13 PM] RhandAltor: It has to be clifford then. For setting up ops.

[12/7/2010 9:04:28 PM] Richard: Mavarok rejoin legion that would be interesting

[12/7/2010 9:06:12 PM] RhandAltor: Hehe we don’t really talk about it so wouldn’t know. But it would be easier to have a straight frontline again, that goes from north to south. Without someone semi-in the middle of us

[12/7/2010 9:26:44 PM] Richard: Who would you like to fight in tw one day . Like best enemy . May never happen probably wont but would be good fight even both of you going for it ?

[12/7/2010 9:26:57 PM] RhandAltor: in TW?

[12/7/2010 9:26:58 PM] RhandAltor: baseball

[12/7/2010 9:27:02 PM] RhandAltor: And we fought ^^

[12/7/2010 9:27:08 PM] RhandAltor: I nobled 1 of his villages

[12/7/2010 9:27:50 PM] RhandAltor: but then decided not to noble, because he was being annoying and recapping

[12/7/2010 9:28:03 PM] RhandAltor: and then me and IFY just nuked incoming support for a while

[12/7/2010 9:28:04 PM] RhandAltor: I wanted some ODA

[12/7/2010 9:29:39 PM] Richard: If you could recruit an enemy player into Legion , who would it be ?

[12/7/2010 9:31:24 PM] RhandAltor: Acidburn, He’s good, and I like him. Even Brett likes him, and he doesn’t have much love for hawks . And you have been in legion, so re-recruiting you would be impossible, but I’d also like to have you on the same side again.

[12/7/2010 9:33:34 PM] Richard: Also last but not least , if you had to quit Legion now and had only one player to get coplay you on this world who would it be?

[12/7/2010 9:37:42 PM] RhandAltor: I’m not really for co-playing, I still go by the old rules where it wasn’t allowed. ^^ And I liked the old sitting rules more too . But If I had to pick someone. I’d merge with wesgan. We’re both not the most active, but active enough, and the timezones would fit nicely . But offcourse if he counts I’d take IFY, I’ll even try to make this happen, he must have a little time to play on my account if he’s in the mood .

[12/7/2010 9:40:14 PM] Richard: Ok any other questions need asking . Anything more you would like to say ?

[12/7/2010 9:41:50 PM] RhandAltor: I’d like to ask everyone to stop nobling barbs .

[12/7/2010 9:49:04 PM] Richard: Anyway, I agree ! Last question, sum world 33 up in 3 words?

[12/7/2010 9:53:11 PM] RhandAltor: Fun, Lazy, weird. Because it can be very fun at times, It’s a slow world, and alot of laziness and slacking is going on, I am guilty at times as well ^^. And the reason why this is weird compared to other worlds I played must be because of the never ending flow of nobles, which makes barb nobling ok, and people growing insanely big easy .

[12/7/2010 9:54:09 PM] Richard: Thank you for taking the time out of your hectic drunken schedule (Jokes ) to be interviewed by me for the audience of world 33

[12/7/2010 9:54:57 PM] RhandAltor: No problem, I enjoyed the interview

Following on from that interview , it has now been announced this world is officially closing on Thursday the 23rd of December. Well Done TW.

Lastly ,

Something to note about the church is people tend to believe the tactic is to cluster. Another thing is not many barbarians are nobled at this game with ‘abandons’ usually going up as more and more people delete. Like I said , this worlds interesting.

The war against Barbarian villages has begun

Lets say thats 4k barbarian villages nobled in 1 month . Another year and a half going at that rate (including a few other people deleting) and all the barbarians would be nobled out . Would this be a good thing ? The first world to do that? Or something embarrassing ? You decide.

Thank you World 33 for making my job as blog writer easier.

Congrats to everyone on getting so far in this world .
