server wipe and launch of industrial age

Dear papaya play.

I assume that you don’t know me. I am Buffet, one of those
players who have started playing since the first year of UWO international
server, though I don’t consider myself a veteran as compared to the likes of
Alan and so on.

I am seriously worried upon reading the manner things are
described in your latest update. PVP does not involve only (piracy) item
plunder and deck battle, it is much more.  Do not ignore ESF and Battle campaign and
mocks. Take note that there are many other concerns among the player base ( not just from those vocal few) but
this frankly isn’t the main point in my post.

Since you intend to carry out a server wipe, unlike what you
have done for war rock ( which had account transfers), I think that you need to
clarify on a few matters.

1)     
1) What exactly is this technical nature that
requires o server wipe? If we need a server wipe to carry out any change with
game mechanisms like “item plunder and deck battle”, can we expect a server
wipe every few months just to change something?

By saying this, I am trying to stress on a
simple fact: you cannot use the term “technical issue” as the reason to carry
out a server wipe. For those who have dealt with customer service before in
real life, we would know that this term is used as a standard procedure
whenever there is something which the company does not want to elaborate on.

2)     
2) What is the intention of papaya play for server
wipe and launching the server in industrial age 3rd patch at the same time? This
might seem harmless at first, but it does have its repercussions. Launching the
server right at industrial age means papaya play will be able to sell ambush
victories, advanced assault frigate, refit ottoman galley and so on. But the
rest of the players won’t have the ability to even build or use the normal
versions of the ship. It is not that feasible to have normal players reaching
levels to use those normal ships( maritime 52 vaisseau, assault frigate) Hence,
this brings back memories of NM selling 200M investment bonds directly in cash
shop when the server wasn’t even ready for it. UWO lost a number of players at that
time.  Even if papaya promises to
maintain a balance, what should be the guideline here? Remember, you went
straight into industrial age patch. Patch versions can no longer be the
guideline. (To be continued... )
