Everyone was so dead-set for this when it was being discussed. Generally by those it helped. Now its boring & has no diversity.

No point in grinding & growing anymore, as any numpty that gets close enough to level 150 is just going to hit, Then factor in the weapon degradation & it aint long before a google serach bot is going to hand it you.

"burn"/sacrifice a equipment to try improve an equipment.....OK. Lets grab a chunk from another game, drop it in. Make the game look even more fragmented. Then undoubtedly, there will need to be a CAP on that to keep everyone vanilla. Then we are back here asking for something else outta GTAV or FF or COD

Some of you guys have been asking for members from back in the "glory days" to be unbanned etc. Would it not be better to bring back the premise of what was once FRP & then get people back here.

Official Maps with official sets. In the style of the game currently, members have the ability to create maps & sets (thank goodness!) & they can also grant or deny access to these maps. Official sets should be accessible by all (they dont have to be easy to get!) & should be the most powerful sets to get.

Add in all the forced delays between some actions & it has become not worth playing it.



I agree. As I've started attacking again I've been shocked to see successful attacks against people with exp many times greater than my own. I just attacked the top five and won two of them. The three I lost were by 2-7%. With the large spread we have between active players it is nice to have the field more open, but I'm only  prestige 17 so I understand the higher level people being upset. As I've harped on, if the game is ever to get a serious restart we'll need a reset of players (with some sort of benefit for legacy players based on XP). The new players in the last few years all seem to be bots/multi's. I get that. If I started a new account and did a round of monotonous attacking I'd quickly exit after seeing the XP for most of the active accounts.

That being said, maybe some adjustment in the meantime. I'd still keep the field open, but not as much as it is.  And, yeah -  reducing the enforced delay between attacks will help keep players from being aggravated and discouraged.

nailed it.
no point for the newbies as limited stuff to actually do at low levels - same for the big guys. Login, do your links, put your earnings into the casino, do your 5 attacks per hour & get out of dodge. Its not exp, prestige, size etc, its the lack of engagement the game delivers. Being straight up an honest (not trying to offend anyone), a bit of spit & polish on a game that has had no real change in 10+ years is not going to keep anyone engaged for more than a few days at a time. We are currently sitting at or near peak active cycle again, aka, everyone has changed teams again, done a few raids etc banged their chests about it. Site is looking super active with all these auto clicks maxxing people at 500 a day.

Without intending to get *too* off topic, why were those banned players unbanned? Do bans expire?

I altered the deal, pray I don't alter it any further. 👀

Honestly, just unban everyone.

At this point, it's been so many years... people change.

If they're caught cheating or being overly rude or whatever got them banned in the first place, just re-ban. 

All for second chances and getting old active players back!
