Pay to win. Pfff.

[_PigGuardian_]

Empire War was never a Pay to win server. I know a lot of people agree on that. But seeing a few things removed from the donator ranks causing no one to want to pay for donator anymore is just stupid. Has EW really been a pay to win server all this long. Donator ranks on Ew give Powerful kits like nazgul, balrog, and others. Now that everyone has realized that this is true and really want EW back, apparently no one is willing to get EW back. Was EW only able to get its popularity and survival off of extremely op donator ranks? Tim just recently added Age of war we should not throw this all away when we could still fix this mess. Why don't we start making more games, and start realizing that we shouldn't only pay for OPness. Its time for us to realize Donator ranks are only for those who would like to donate to the server and in exchange we get ranks. Just because the ranks get a little less OP than before doesn't mean we go into a crisis.

I'm sorry, but it's a little naïve to think that people will just give money away without any tangible rewards. I mean, sure, maybe a lot could find it in their hearts to donate one, two, three euros selflessly--but, as has already been established, there is a five euro minimum on the donations for a reason (any less would be lost in the transaction, or something along the lines of that). So, even if we somehow managed to keep EW afloat for another month, again, what would happen? Tim clearly doesn't want to invest much more work on the server, the work needed for making profitable changes. So we just have to come to terms with the fact that siege... It's gonna die in a few days, sadly.

It was pre-EULA. #ArmouredTroll

Not as OP as Commander with strength. I remember a team of just donors with commander and strength. Rolled through Morgul incredibly quick.

I might make a longer post on this, but there are MANY factors which led to the current situation. If I were to be honest, Tim made several major choices that should not have been made in the first place.

I think the main reason people are even more reluctant to donate is because Tim himself doesn't seem to enjoy running the server that much, nor does he plan to hand it over. He has right to do so as he owns the server, and if even the server owner doesn't trust their server there is not much we can do tbh.

The problem is, during the post EULA enforcement, Tim could barely keep the server alive, and frequently had to use his own money to keep the server alive. He had to send some ranks back to donors, however, may I suggest that they be purchasable by points, but can be instantly unlocked by purchasing donor ranks? I miss nazzy
