New Server PROBLEM!

[Deucalion]

Give it time. Tynon is still a young game and has not shown it's full potential as of yet. If it has already hit it's peak performance, and the rest is a down hill coast, well, that stinks... Personally I think the best has yet to be seen and don't forget that Tynon, as well as Evony are also businesses. Earning money is the #1 goal. Customers are #2. For those of you that read this as me standing up for Tynon, please press the little "x" in the upper right corner now. That isn't what I'm saying. All I'm saying is that if you were an Evony player, then you already know that patience is the best recourse here.

One should also note that evony and tynon are flash games which even though flash has gotten better over the years (and people have gotten better making games with it) there are limitations as to what can be done with them in terms of content and game mechanics.

don't you have any friends at all? you can go an tell them and play this game, anyway I like the game, its pretty lite compare to any other games I've tried so far. least you don't have to spend hours and hours grinding right? all you have to do is login everyday and play it casually. If your getting bored of this game, why not get to know your Guildmates and chat with them, talk about anything else rather than killing Heroic Bosses or getting 700 in Labyrinth. Just saying.

That's true. The advantage of games like Tynon is it's easy to jump in and manage an account. I probably spend more time browsing forums than actually playing the game, which is nice for my schedule.

Though I disagree with Deuc, in the fact that in any sort of hospitality industry, customers are always #1. No customers, no money. As long as there's at least a token responsiveness then people will hang around. I just don't think we're going to see alot of "epic" things happening. Even with the addition of some new characters or events, the current server model is always going to lead to quick flameouts and expansion. It's just about managing expectations.

I had this discussion as well with people that played Evony, which apparently is made by the same design company. The people there say it's the same setup,with hundreds of dead servers, a focus on cash rather than sustainability as a game. You just have to look at the difference between this and games like Rift, which also have pay-to-play aspects. Rift is really intensive as far as replay ability, character customization, guilds, events, and a more in-depth design geared towards people who love the fantasy genre and gaming in general. Tynon is like the Las Vegas version of that, more of a business based on a model of short lived cash-n-grab servers. This game isn't designed to last a long time. Personally I've already stopped buying gems and just letting nature take its course. I'm in a uber guild so I can ride those benefits for awhile.

Forgot to add: what you need to take into consideration is Tynon is like the phone app of the gaming world. Something that can run in the background, low learning curve and not really time intensive. Part of the frustration I see is that I think we expect more out of it than it is.

There is really no solution to breathe life back into the servers. Or hold it within new ones. If you enjoy the PVP aspect, one of the better options it seems is to actually just play through the beginner rewards period in the new servers when it's full and busy. Apparently this is a popular thing to do. I'm considering it myself, as there's really little incentive to keep going once a server (or realm in the case of 1-10) has reached the uber-guild endgame. I think they key to avoiding frustration is just lower the bar as far as what will actually be possible.

Again reference the Evony business model. We might wish for something different, but experience shows it works.

Evony has been around for 4 years plus.

I don't think that qualifies as a "quick cash and grab"

It does, if it's 4 years of leaving dead servers behind. 4 years from now Tynon might have 1000+ servers, and still be based on a quick cash and grab model.

There are players who have played the entire 4 years in Evony, and are still coining up until now.


Also, I don't think you are of proper qualification to assess the game's business model.
You don't have access to their business organization plans, their accounting books, their organization layout, etc.

No...just the results.

Since you are of no qualification to assess Tynon's business model, all your arguments about this is then rendered invalid.

I do had some friends playing this game,who don't anyway.

least you don't have to spend hours and hours grinding right?

Wrong,some did prefer heavy grinding game,for etc myself and this game can get really boring sometimes.
Log in heroic,pirates,revenge,hunting,questing,waiting for world boss and your pretty much done..nothing else to do except standing in front of fair to check it every 30min.

why not get to know your Guildmates and chat with them

I don't think you had any idea on how dead the guild chat/realm chat were in this game.
It's mostly like desert in my server,even if my guild mates did came online..either they're afk or just waiting for fair.
