Hi,
I was just checking when was the last season we had clanner playoff and it was 4 season ago. I don't recall having such a low activity/interest for clanner playoffs in the worms history..
I agree that people move on and I am the first to be inactive. Nevertheless, I think that clanner always was the fuel for single. People would look for clanner and go to single while waiting for another clan to pop in. To be honest, I am starting to worry about this game and the decision we took. I am very happy that we included money but I see a direct impact on clanner which could theoretically lead to a situation worse than before the introduction of money.Let me explain it with a very simplistic approach.
I believe that meeting 'friends' on WA retains player to a very high extend. Actually, maybe way more than any other online games (that I know so far) because the community is small and you learn to know everyone. That is why clan are so important because it 'forces' you to meet/play with new people (and not against, so you have to work together). If you remove that, you remove the 'community building' part of the game and this game is just like any other game. Think of the state of wwp right now. Why isn't there a community that is being build right now even if we 'old' player moved to WA? What keep us is the community. What keep the community is I believe in big part clan that let new player join their clan and being introduced to everyone. The problem with the introduction of money is that it weaken clan when they never have been that weak.
It came with the best intention but maybe it wasn't the best time to do it and I wonder how active will be TUS once all this money price will stop. And we are back with single without a clan league.
When fighting against money, there is not much to do. The only thing you can do is fight back with money.
Therefore, I am ready to give $100 for clanner league if we can reach $500 that would make clanner attractive enough. One condition though, would be to reduce the PO requirement because we first need activity before speaking of being competitive. We need to have people think: 'hey, I am not the best player in single but maybe I can create a clan and still get "some" money'.
However, I am aware that it is meaningless because as long as single league get money, we will have to give clanner money or people will stop playing it.
What are your thought? Would you join me in the 'clanner must not die' strike?
