CAKES IS WONDERING WHY NONE OF THE SERVERS ARE WORKING
Abydos you have to spend a million dollars (or if youre asgard a million years) to even come close to players who have been playing the server for a while. That isnt good for a game. Also there arent any wars anymore just some individuals getting pounded every once in a while.
Chulak has close to 0 players, and some players are so inactive they should count against the player count of that server. I dont know whats wrong with it but fix it.
Dakara has nothing to do right now except watch the people who have second accounts farm and get their accounts huge.
fix it.
Cakes out.

Well first of all, the majority of players prefer the slower pace of abydos. I would guess when i started, it took me about 6 weeks to get system lord the first time. Right now, there's a player who reset who's going to do it faster then that.
What has kept me with this game this long is the slow pace. If you can be a top player in the first month, what's the point? I'd have quit then.
If you want that fast pace, try chulak...you could be a top player in 2-3 weeks. Oh, that's right. Most everyone prefers the slower pace of Abydos. If we were looking for a game that we would have to keep an eye on every minute we play, it wouldn't have been this style of game we seeked out.
You certainly don't need to buy anything to compete, although a bit of advanced tech would help. I've bought 1 alliance naq pack to benefit the smaller guys in our alliance, but some of the top players have never bought naqidah at all, ever. So sick of this wallet lord argument. I had 80 stations before i bought my one naqidah purchase.

lol it doesn't take forever to get anywhere on Abydos. It took me 3 days to get 20 stations and lord status. I could get on the SL council in like 2 weeks ... less if I really pushed it. I'm focusing on Dakara now.
Spots on the SL council filled by Black, Yamamoto, Solo, and others like that are broken and give Abydos almost no point because there is nothing to achieve that can't just be bought. But it is playable and you can get caught up if you wanted to.
Kelac! #1 cheater in the game, but you'll never catch me!

Abydos is the oldest and most established server. While I agree it is not designed for new players, many others disagree. Kelac just reset and has quickly risen up while actively playing the other 2 servers, watching every episode of House of Cards and downloading massive amounts of porn. The community seems to like the server.
Chulak has half the amount of active players as Abydos so to say it has no players is untrue. There are people actively playing the server daily and having fun.
Dakara has an issue where a couple players are farming multis. Shadowing did take measures to help by removing about 100 accounts and by disabling the ability of players to remove protection if they have less than 3k nw. Players have adjusted so it is not enough. The solution would be for Shadowing to review the new accounts every 2 days to check for signs of multis. Also, check to see which players or allies are hitting these multis right after they come out of protection. He can determine if they player has a legitimate reason to hit such a high number of these accounts right out of protection.
In order to improve, the game requires more resources. It needs a QA tester, community manager and dedicated developer. These resources require time and money. Shadowing has moved on to the next game. For now, we have to accept the game as-is.
The hope is we have an influx of new players from the convention Shadowing is attending. The biggest issue I see is the game's mobile is absolutely horrible, which Shadowing would disagree with. I find the game completely unplayable on mobile. Also, the game has many bugs which directly impact game play, while Shadowing feels the game is practically bug free. For my part, I'll continue to help where I can and hope for improvement. Nothing else to be done.
