  1. Why does it say reloaded under Dark Orbit on the back page? and is that what all the back page trouble was over the last few days because of putting the word reloaded on there?

  2. The backpage downtime probably unrelated. I'm more than certain that the devs know how to change an image.

    As for the "reloaded" itself, it's part of DO's relaunch - an effort to draw in more players so that the game isn't empty anymore. Despite the changes to "balance" the game, I still believe that it won't be as successful as the developers hope it will be.

    All they've done is made it easier to become a high-level FE, and that's still nothing thanks to all the Ultra-Elite equipment. Hopefully that'll all change with the new Auction update, however.
     
  3. Thanks, i hope they do get more players.

    Hi
    Thanks †►ÐÂЯŦΉĢüДĻℓЙ◄†™ for your answer, Its part of the rebranding and relaunch of the game following all of the changes and updates recently. There is also going to be an extensive advertising campaign to try and bring new players into the game. Fingers crossed it will be successful :)

    Any further questions?
    Regards
     
  5. The problem is new players can get very frustrated very fast in the current DO environment.
    I have 5 new players to the game in my current GA2 clan. They are ready to run to Farmville haha.
    I am just as trigger happy though. New players in new ships translates into more targets which is fine with me :)

  8. I think its great the way darkorbit staff have finally begun to communicate with players through the forums. The roadmap and now that they are trying to being more people to the game is good. I've been here since 07 and these game has seen some troubling times but hopefully they are able to bounce back up and regain some old players and some new and restore the servers to full cap.
     
  9. Does it have something to do with the memory leak, where you have to reload map every few jumps?
     
  10. D.O. is turning U in 2 Peyton - pay (ton) attention - LOL.
     
  11. It's just a new advertising campaign.

    My game continues to crash lately. It never has before so I wonder if it is something to do with the updates.
     
  13. from 2007 ???? WOW MATE !!!
     
  14. Its all a farce, they cant even sort out the players they already have.

    Still cant believe they had the audacity to make normal NPC's shield strength stronger after bringing out Uber updates, instead of just bringing out new NPC's pure laziness, and the new players they are targeting will see right through this fake campaign.

    I hardly play anymore, too boring, same old stuff day in day out. I recommended new rules for scoremaggedon to stop Ubers making new players extinct but they pushed that to 1 side, this game is failing...badly.

    In my cynical view. The reloaded refers to the new drive to get a handful of the new players to spend mega money, (while the rest continue to be cannon fodder for the few WW.)

    like the new quests, which will enable a new Uber WW to reach lvl 21 in a few week/months. Even the spearhead I would guess has been given out, so the WW can finish the spearhead quest.
    :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    I guess we are never going to see a rebalancing of the gulf between UFE and the average player / spender. Or changes that will enable the average player to progress to UFE in less that 5 years.

    It seem to me to be more of the same profit at any cost.

    All that is likely to happen is, we will see a slight increase in player numbers for a few week / months, the vast majority will come and go realising that they stand no chance.

    Then we are likely to see the same, slow painful drop in player numbers, we have been seeing since profit at any cost drove so many players away.

    Word of mouth is by far the best advertising.

    We can see this in DO by the significant increase in active accounts that occurred very soon after the major bot ban ( well the 72hr bot ban
    :rolleyes:) which then fell off steeply as those return saw that nothing had really change, as far as the imbalance.

    But I would guess few if anyone that plays today, would encourage their friends to start playing DO.
