I'd like to congratulate Hone on the server. I am the longest player, starting out maybe a couple of days from beta. I retired at lvl51, which on a low rate is quite some geeking lol. I did all there was in the game, and had a huge many hours of enjoyment. Hone should be commended on having the balls to strike out with a low rate server. So many people want to download a game be lvl 100 in a week with all the kit and pvp, whereas other people like to log on and relax.
For me Empire held this niche, we were small, I think max player count of maybe 30 during events, usually about 10-15 of an evening. But everyone got along and chatted away. It's a shame that it's gone, but as I told Hone, he should feel proud, there are probably over 50 lvl40+ characters on that db, it's testiment to the enjoyment he provided to so many.
Anyways, was a pleasure playing and hope you start up again, or join a team somewhere. I'd definately want to be informed. Server owners should take note, low rates that are long term are attractive, usually to people with lots more cash than pocket money.. Fair play to Hone, he only introduced a game shop to pay for the web hosting, again a non-donation server is also very attractive.
Anyone wishing to contact me from empire can do so through this account
