stable users (Page 2 of 3)

Now where was i before everyone changed the subject. can anyone tell me if this is correct, there was stable but a faster game with more weapons spells etc was designed as a test game, then when it all is working properly a reset would happen on stable.

so all the players that were playing stable joined speed to help sort out the bugs and improve the game? They did this because they wanted a faster more interesting game

Actually, 40 minutes is more like it hello.
But most mixed army's might take 2 hours when using a spell to speed up things.

Question 1/
so speed is a test game?
Question 2/
Did players from stable move to speed for 2 reasons faster game and to assist in development?
Question 3/
Why didn't the developers improve stable 1 or 2 changes per month?

I am understanding this much better but I have more questions, If a reset occurs what happens to the players on stable, does this mean we all start from 0. If so the players now on speed would have a huge advantage with the experiance they are getting now. What happens to the players input via spending money on runes to keep the game going {contibution}.

So the 2 games are the same in principle but completely seperate in design, which again means players of speed have the advantage because it is a seperate game.

the same applies to anyone joining a new server and saying "old players will know more than me". when you joined dolumar, i am sure there were hundreds who were more experienced than you. people learn, it's something that happens in every game (unless brand new).
yes, if a reset occurs, everything goes to 0, the server *forgets* about all players, and you'll have to reregister. credits will remain memorized, and stored by email address of their user (no idea how for social network users).
runes are just a spendable virtual item that is normally obtained by scouting or attacking, and is required to build your game's empire. you can get these runes in easier/faster ways through buying them. but the fact remains, they are a spendable resource. once the server is reset, everything starts anew. just like any match of ... Red Alert or Age of Empires, or even plain old monopoly or risk. a game has to end, declaring a winner, and starting a new game match. for the time being, this winner declaration has not been implemented yet. i dont know if it will be before the reset ot not, but i know it's not far. the game enters an "end game" period, where everyone competes towards a certain goal, and a winner is declared. once this is designed, players should know right from begining what "end game" is like, and can spend their whole server time planning with their clan how to achieve it once the time for it arrives.
a server lives for roughly a year, speed servers for less. but... this is all *planning*.
the 2 games are the same, one received all the planned features, one didn't due to "fair play" considerations, due to the fact that it was already running. so one is what dolumar supposed to be like (speed), the other is just a deprecate version of the game (stable), and there's of course beta, which is a play ground and usually contains more new features than speed, but very unstable, buggy, Doom(pope)ed

They're two separate instances. The chatrooms are separate too.

I know there are plans slated to implement a better tutorial, but that may take some time.  If you want to write up an improved guide I am sure it could be posted up somewhere.

Ouch.  Well, good luck to him.

I can see far too many flaws in speed based on what people post which is why I would rather be on a less troublesome server, but I see stable as becoming very boring, the stronger clans have too many members which forces players to attack lower ranked villages causing new comers to loose interest, unless they join a stronger clan, which means the stronger get stronger.
Would a clan ranked 10th be game enough to attack a number 1, 2 or 3 ? no, a new player starts and thinks what clan should I join, go the safest way, join the best.

If a flaw or bug is detected in speed and it is reported what happens if nothing is done about it, will players who know about it use it to their advantage, or players use it not knowing it is a bug, it is not what you would call cheating it is more manipulating the system to gain a little bit extra, but this assumption is based on the bug not being fixed after a report.

I was also told their is 2 chat areas, 1 for stable and 1 for speed, I cannot find them or I am not a good searcher

Can someone make a comment on this as I am very interested to find out more about the games and the workings of it.

From what I read there are very many bugs in speed, so who is to know what is a bug and what isn't. If a new player uses a bug not knowing about it are they guilty of cheating? I have been told there are so many bugs they cannot fix them, so they remain until they can get around to fixing it, so what happens if a player uses the bug, be it with knowledge or without knowing.

Is there a bug info sheet that players can look to see if what they are using is a bug? If players have been using a bug what happens to them, surely there must be many players who have been using a bug which means they should be reset or banned, would that mean there would be very few players left?
