Hello forums today I was reading some interesting thoughts about how the old kaw was. I'm no expert on how people played the old version of kaw 3-4 years ago but from what I remember there were A LOT more wars and people hitting each other then there are in this current version of kaw. Now I'm not here to complain about people hitting ebs or call people out for hitting EBS because everyone does myself largely included. This is the way that the new version of kaw has and is going (I have no complaints). The idea that I have in mind, that I realize a lot of people are going to dislike, is that ATA could create a new app that would be called something such as "Retro kaw" or like kaw v1.0 this game would be the version of kaw from 3 or 4 years ago. This version would be moderated by mods and devs but updates on the game ex EBS and such will not be implemented in this version. On this new app you would need to start a new account. It will not be possible to bring your account from this version of kaw over because these two versions will be completely separate. The only way you will be able to grow will be via farming, doing quests, doing wars, volleying with gold your earned from wars or buying nobility etc. I have read Moose's thread about how he and other players created lists of larger players who were not active to farm for gold somewhat replicating EBS. Now I can see how this is somewhat of an exploit, I personally believe that farming a player who is no longer active holds higher risk then hitting an eb because of the chance of them coming back and returning hits. So I don't see it as a major issue that needs addressing. This additional app will be moderated both in game and forums. (Forums will once again be separate from this version of kaw) Why should the developers care? The devs can profit from this new old game version because players will be purchasing large amount of xtals and nobility to attempt to be LB players. Developers will also be able continue to upgrade this version of the game without needing to take any steps back towards older version of kaw in order to impress so called "veterans" Players can profit because no longer will people be able to complain about how much they hate the new version of kaw and how much they miss the old version. It will also give players the chance to determine if they like the old version of kaw or do In fact prefer the new version. One of the major issues I can see with this from a players perspective is that you would need to restart. But I believe this to have more pros then cons as it gives everyone a equal start. TL;DR version. Old kaw from 3-4 years ago will be brought back in the form of a new application with no new features such as EBS. You will be starting from nothing. Growing will come strictly from pvp or quests. Feel free to criticize or support, if you like the idea say something if you don't be sure to let me know. Just a heads up I did not make this thread to make people respect me or think I'm a "veteran" I just genuinely like my idea.
No man.. No No one is stopping you from farming people.. If you want to grow through farming, then sac up and start farming
Creating another app only dilutes the player base. Go play FC it's similar to what you want or just start farming people
Obviously for larger players such as your selves this idea will be hard to swallow as you have spent a large amount of time building your stats so restarting is not a possibility. I agree with you that it is possible to hit people on this version but a lot of people self pin via eb. Something else that I feel a new application version could bring is people only being able to build through pvp making there CS more deserved then in this current version. Just some additional thoughts but I see what u guys are thinking
That is one problem but as I mentioned before there's more risk in farming non actives then hitting an eb only because there's a chance the non active could return to the game and hit back. But a fair point for sure
