Play quality

[Rich52]

How would you compare play quality compared to a couple, 3, 4 years ago? Maybe even longer? I dont mean the game itself, which has improved, or even individual players. Im asking about how the player base now plays the game compared to years ago?

[JOACH1M]

umm there is less players i know that...

its hard for me to tell the skill level or timidness compared to 3-4 years ago, but i do see alot more running lately

I've only been here 2 years 6 months....... but other than the graphics upgrades and new toys, I really don't see anything different now than in March, 2009.

Same game, just a lot of newer names, a lot of the same names, and some old names from time to time.

I think somewhere there is a chart with some great math stuff thingy's (insert snailman product here) that expresses perceived play quality in relationship to self improvement.  I think that the longer we play, the more (**generalization) we mature in the game, and the more we have a sense to cry foul.  Game seems the same it always has, except for now I can't drop an entire town with my M4 with the Calliope.

It's the same thing just with different names/squads.

Next month makes 10 years as a paying subscriber for me (did my 2 weeks in Aug 2001). Many have told me I look at the game through rose colored glasses, or that my memory is faulty, or that I'm burned out. I think they are full of crap   

The game hasn't changed other than adding bigger and better things. Considering the size of the company it still amazes me what this group can put out.

The players on the other hand have changed tremendously ! 10 years ago we were all history nuts playing a war simulation game. Today most players are games trying to win the war before they have to go do their homework.

I can almost guarantee you that most wars are won by the 40 and over. I use to hear kids talk on range before for some reason now I hardly do.  I normally hear the voice of guys well past their 30's.

I'm sorry, that might have gone over your head (my aim has always sucked  ). What I meant was in the old days we were simmers, today its gamers. 30 and under is the "Nintendo" generation. They were brought up on games and gaming systems. They look at games as having a start, and a finish. To a simmer the game never ends, it's a continuing game that is always in a state of flux that you can jump in and join at any time. Games start a game and do nothing but drive to the finish. Then they buy a new game.
