dear HC minority - you are a minority and catering to your whims at all times makes little sense from business perspective and from social perspective. last official ggg statistics were 1/5 hc/sc so make your own conclusions

so thats it ?
luring the hc community in a game advertised as hc and when they have milked them enough slowly catering to softcore ?

a hc player streamed the game on twich and made it intresting for more than only hc oriented playerbase (kripp brought a ton of ppl to this game)
ppl like mors or hellmann gather viewers in the hundreds when they race
you think someone will tune in in some scrubbie stream watch anuhart he barely reaches 20 viewer cause its fucking boring to watch sc

from a buisness point of view this is a retarded decision killing of 1/5 of your revenue for at least 1 month

so much for being smartass

So it makes more sense to kill 4/5's than 1/5's of the playerbase?

WTB Hardcore


Looked forward to making some currency for HC, and playing another hardcore league. Not sure if I'll play much more than the beginning, there is almost no point for me personally.

[Removed by Support] people are only asking for additional HC 1month league , no one is saying to make it HC only.

No it makes more sense that you keep the policy you ran when you sucked in the first hardcore players that helped promote this game, and actually establish a decent playerbase. Have some common sense and get it into your head that this is a RACE. It is supposed to be hardcore like every other race they have posted. Hardcore means a more stable and non-inflated economy, because people actually play cautiosly. [Removed by Support]

Love the fact that everyone freaks the bananas out because of 1 Small league that's meant to be fun and a thing to spend your time on, whilst waiting for the new 4month's. If you want HC, go play just that, Hardcore. This month doesn't even have fatty prices, in comparison of 1week charity race where the HC player base had an HUGE advantage.

I think this quote from a wise Russian hockey player fits right in here

Why kill any of the playerbase? Have two leagues like always.

Previous races don't apply since they happened midleague. At the moment no other league is happening.

Its not really a league, its a 1 month race leading up to the new leagues, there has never been a softcore 1 month race let alone any races that I can recall.

This thread really proves alot about the maturity level of the 2 different leagues. HC players simply asking "Why not both?" and getting bombarded by SC apologists who immediately get on the defensive.

HC players aren't being 'elitist' they are just asking for an HC variant so they can enjoy the league while SC enjoys theirs. No need for everyone to start hating on everyone else.

Sums it up

It's a transitional league in a time that there is no other league. It's the only thing people can play if they only play leagues or "races". Some people only enjoy HC, I think that much has been shown.

Oh wtf?

The last 1-weekers except one where hc. The charity event was hc. Most of the races are hc. There's a permanent hc league. Now we get the second (SECOND) special event that is softcore, and you all go bananas? [Removed by Support] You are not entitled to anything, you know that, right? What if I told you that many of the players in my guild refused to play the charity event because it was hc? We could have spammed the forums for countless hours because of that. But we didn't.

And there's a reason for that:
Those of us who wanted to participate, did. Some died, some reached their goal (lvl-threshold) and some just played on. All the others kept playing their characters in the sc leagues, because those leagues aren't dead. You can still party, play and trade. You could do that on Ambush right till the end. Because those players seem to be more commited than others, that stop playing the game after 2 months and instead start complaining on the forums that their league is dead and shit.

Running two special events is asking too much, especially if one will be active and thriving and the other one would be complained about and declared "dead" after 2 weeks.

As for "making currency": Ever thought about making currency in the league your in?
