So the reset is here! Woot! Not as exiting as the last one, but interesting nonetheless.
I must say it was absolutely awesome playing in Ronin, each and everyone in the alliance was superb. Special respect to pitoh for taking leadership responsibility when no-one else wanted to after Othafa. He did a grand job. Big up the Mighty P!
Well I won't be in an alliance next reset BUT I will still be playing! So look out those who may have peeved me off :0
So as many will know and have debated bank interest will be cancelled as of 18 July.
I welcome this as it will reduce those players who do nothing but save and then only act before a reset.
Things still need to be done to encourage long term players such as a levels score like they have in other online games. I do not refer to the levels system that is in the donators game as that refers to different worlds. Each player should have a system which rates their experience in the game. This could be a composite derived from the new score system?
Well the reset looms large so wishing everyone a rollocking reset ride!
Things have been quiet on the blogging front I know, so Dr GEWarLove brings you an interview with the player Biggest to keep the readers going.
How did you first get into GEWar?
By accident - stumbled across it whilst doing some work we were hoping to link with Google Earth - was at work and logged in!
How long have you been playing it for?
Off and on for 18 months - work takes me away at times but then I get lots of time off - jewelling is king I think!
What newbie mistake(s) do you remember making?
Attacking too early - like most people? Just wanted to get going, but now I need to ensure I have sufficient reserves to continue fighting.
What are the good things about GEWar, what are the bad things?
I've met, spoken to loads of people from across the world - it is a great community - I don't add to the forum though - I read it with interest but spend more time analysing and planning both inside the alliance and with others. The worst, apart from the addiction is the way some people forget it is a game, a break from reality - the way the whole world has an interest is fantstic.
What were the memorable moments for you in GEWar?
I've watched many good players, seen many great battles for the resource cities, loads of nukings but overall I liked the The Whirlpool Alliance from Australia and their "battles" with GDI - lots of little spats, but I really liked is when they combined to attack the Chinese - took me a while to work out what was going on!
Do you think you will be playing GEWar in 2 years time?
I really hope so - work has taken me away too often recently - if things improve globally then maybe I'll be able to sit behind a desk and get home every night to play etc. My job is brilliant but gets in the way of GEWar!
Many thanks to Biggest!
