For the first time in a long time, i am beginning to see a lot of of old faces and an uptick in activity online. Carnages have been getting some decent activity, people are hunting more around mythic, and i have seen an influx of some new characters of old players who want to get back in and re experience the game.

I think this is a good thing and while we dont yet see a thousand+ people on the game like when we were all kids, it still makes me thinkg that now even in our 20's-30's-40's as most people now are, we can still get back in the groove and have fun.

In a way this game really is like a big family most people know or have seen everyone else by crossing paths with them over the years and honestly now that people have some expendible income and jobs, people are more inclined to say "ok i can spare 10 bucks"

Anyway, good to see some new faces and old alike. If you are new and youre reading this, mail me in the game Username Krmit, or Dingoholic and i would love to help ya.

I'm seeing a lot of old people returning to the game. This is part of the "Wony effect". Many heard that KRU promised to work harder on Nexus TK from now on and returned with new hopes. I think KRU needs to show some results on this promise fast or else might start losing people again. sad.gif

Eh - hasn't been enough to get me or a multitude of old players I know to re-register.

So far all I've seen is a lot of talk (and not much of that lately either)

Dev's should keep us updated on the progress of the changes.

Until something significant happens I just can't see myself having any desire to reregister.

For $20 they can restore any purged character. It's enough of a deterrent to keep my away thankfully.

If they actually cared about getting people back to the game, they'd do it for free. Blizzard sends me 3 months free game time once a year just to reactivate an account, and these morons wanna charge $20 bucks, and then I have to pay another 10 for a months subscription, just to get back in. Complete stupidity.

Hell, some people were getting characters that didn't even belong to them unbanned/unpurged.

You ticket them, say you were banned a long time ago and would like to get your account back. You put a $30 kruna coupon code attached with it.

They advertised it. It's not secret bribery or anything, for a fee they'll generally unban you if it's been long enough.

By no definition of the word is it extortion.

We just banned you for accidentally typing s[bleep] in a whisper.

Pay us $30 dollars to get back in.

Explain to me how this isn't extortion. It's akin to getting your ass beat, then asked for protection money.

Lamo it's bail money or a fine, but certainly not extortion. Extortion is pay or else we'll do something hurtful or harmful. Maybe if they were emailing you your character's fingers saying next would be the whole hand I might be apt.to believe you could call it extortion, but the $30 is to waive penalty not to prevent harm.

If they dont really get some events or ramp up some content soon (even minor stuff) its bound to just suffocate the hope of older returning players. I have been having fun in my several months back. To be honest i wish they just made bringers gift style of prize for sub 99's.

Because you'd get your ass beat if you didn't give them that money. KRU isn't going to ultra-ban your account if you don't give them $30.

They impounded your car and you have to pay to get it out. It's not extortion. It's bail.

You want to legitimize a company having the option to ban at will and then ask money to unban, feel free. Just don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.
