NEW SERVER IDEA by railman *DISCUSSION BY PLAYERS!*
Posted 9 months ago by

As many of Polish citizens know, today at 21.00 an interview took place on one of Polish internet radios, railman was interviewed about the game, how it works, how i makes money to keep the servers up. However, one of things he said started a real deep debate about the 'idea' he told us in this online interview.
btw. During the broadcast, the listners were able to call and speak with railman  So i called 2 times to say hello to  Ministerstwo Obrony Narodowej and SAS (ofc)
So, idea is that new e-sim server ( lets call it Server 2 ) will be made so that everybody have a chance to start from the beggning. Meanwhile the 1st server will still be online and working, however it creates some mysteries about it and the way that railman introduced us (Polish listeners at the time of radio broadcast) to the idea.
so, during the actual broadcast we could not tell much about the new 'idea' however on #e-sim.pl (official PL irc) @Quakenet railman became 'active'( yes ! ) and spilled some info for all gathered on our channel. Here are some bits taken out of the conversation.
*please note that it has been translated from PL to ENG in logs below - Thank you
So, I am more than happy to welcome you into a discussion, here under this art in comments, we need to know what  ★ Admin is planning, and he must know our opinions !
What do you think ? Will it be the end of free e-sim we enjoyed ?
* SHORT STORY = They plan to make second server with option to buy gold for real money. Erep***** ?

I think the decision has been made.
I only hope the "Buy Gold" limit will be low and accessible by most players.
Don't forget what made this game popular.
Greed will destroy it like other games that put money over everything.

Railman did some tools for Eve Online. That game is subscription based and if a second server were sub/donation based then yes I'd play on it provided it didn't offer a gold shop for rich people to buy power. If e-sim went erep way and beomes a rich person's plaything then nope, I wouldn't even look at it. Sure, the admin/dev need to get a revenue to cover costs and time but imo a sub based way together with advertising revenues is the least worst way of going about it.
If railman goes the gold shop way then we'll all know what he wants and what his attitude is and me, I'll find another game to relax into - there's plenty out there. (edit) Forgot to add I'd also stop donating to this server.

I understand it's harder to make a profit for the admins without the option to buy Gold, so I understand their desire to open a second server, but from a player's perspective I don't like it.

Instead of a knee jerk 'we hate change' reaction, let's think about this for a minute and try our best to think from the Admin's point of view. They may be willing to return the favor!
