I've been around for about 24 years, just in case that will give any weight to me speaking up. But this is one of the worst decisions I've ever seen, and seems to have been made by an emotional reaction instead of actually listening to the community's feedback. This is definitely not what is best fo...

I'll join a league if there's room.

For you old TDL players, you might remember Bick Nakay. Colin's stuff reminds me of that, and I collaborated on writing Bick Nakay articles with someone else I won't name unless he wants to say so as well. The goal was never to hurt feelings, but to make people laugh. We made fun of characters, incl...

It's the players, casual or not, who need to put in the effort if they want to do something. If I made a tournament right now and offered Apples squireship, I can say I don't believe more than 4 or 5 will join.. and most or all of them will be alts of Warlords. If the more casual playerbase is will...

What? WHO? That's a load of crap. I don't want fancies just given to me. I want to earn them. Sure, it's been fun being able to use them this past month the few times I've had an opportunity to log on and play, but if this suddenly turned into an all the time thing I think I'd be less interested in...

Is the problem with stagnation that there are not many who want to make the commitment required to climb rank? Is the current issue perhaps an over-saturation of experienced players flooding the rooms with low-level alts? Are you (this is directed at Rix) suggesting WoL be completely reset from top...

Looking beyond that, I can play a video game and in 20-30 hours I will have gone through the entire game from start to finish. 20-30 hours is a good investment of time that is usually spread out for about a week, but I've reached the endpoint and the good stuff in that time frame. In the duels, the...

How far should they bend over backwards to cater to people? How far should any business go to keep customers coming in? How far should any gaming company go for people to continue to buy their products? Casual is not a bad thing. Why else do facebook games rake in cash hand over fist? Because they'...

Question: How can we encourage new players to participate in the game that's clearly not gaining new players? Answer: Make them ask for help and treat all new characters like they're alternates. Why? Why are people actively resisting the idea that you, as an emerald or whatever, should show courtesy...

You all are completely not getting it. New people shouldn't have that expectation on them that it's their responsibility to ask for help or ask people to go easy on them. Would it be nice and make it a lot easier? Sure. But if you're the higher rank here and you're dueling a lower rank, that respons...

This is a place where the play is cooperative, yes, but that doesn't mean that the people aren't, well, people. I can cooperatively play without talking to anyone OOC. If I'm under a new alt, I would highly prefer people *don't* IM me. So why don't you put that in your profile? Seems very easy to a...

Off-hand, I can't say that I ever recall a time where it was standard practice for a veteran dueler to IM a new dueler and ask if it was alright to use their mods/fancies. I start new characters all the time and I am pretty sure I don't recall any veterans asking me that question. At least not as a...

Some people don't like asking for help. Maybe they're shy. Maybe they're afraid of being made fun of. Maybe the last person they asked for help was extremely rude and treated that person like they were a burden. You see a room of upper ranks, ask them to fight at your level. What's difficult to und...
