We all know Stephen has become increasingly worthless over the years. I don`t know why this JUST clicked, but why are we helping him out? He gives us nothing for our loyalty to the game, and in return we give him a steady paycheck that really, he hasn`t earned in years.
I know the admins have the power to give us ship changes and all that good stuff, But I`m not so sure about all the other paid advantages. All I`m saying is why are we STILL giving him the benefit of the doubt and paychecks every month when all the work is currently being done by the staff free of charge and on their free time?
Give free accounts the same benefits as paid until Stephen sells this game to someone who cares. Ishamael has spoken, begin the flame war. |

99+ day(s) ago | First of all this game was kept up and running for the last 9 years. This means it must have been maintained and ate some resources. There is a chance it did cost little resources (time, money) but that really rarely happens. What keeps this game up and running is that 1. it must generate some revenues, 2. it`s a brain child, you don`t kill children. Creating a game is easy. Migrating users is impossible. Without players it`s just a game. |

99+ day(s) ago | I stopped supporting this game/stephen a few years ago; glad to see you finally see it the same way Ishamael. x)
The best protest is to keep playing, but never pay. It`s like loitering, or something. |

99+ day(s) ago | "Here is My Idea The Admins Make a Paypal and we pay the admins" <--- GM.
GM, I was going to write "that would mean the Admins/Guides` could be trusted to put players first and not take advantage."
But if i wrote that, I`d be sanctioned so I`m not writing that. |

99+ day(s) ago | Let`s kill the game then. It`s time to put her to bed! |

99+ day(s) ago | well he shouldent be making $ from us we all should just get free paid 24/7 so it would be more fun |
Omegian
99+ day(s) ago | GM, ste would notice sooner or later and just strip all admin rights. Thus in a sense, nothing would be done, well it would kill the game quicker. |

99+ day(s) ago | Here is My Idea The Admins Make a Paypal and we pay the admins and the admins give us the paids So On So Forth ??? The admins would do all kinds of stuff for us then |

99+ day(s) ago | Im waiting on Alpha Centuri for his clone... when that happens we will support him. |
grantweep
99+ day(s) ago | Yeah, it was nice that non-paid accounts could use paid ships for that period of time.
But the biggest advantages of being paid is still the increased turn storage and turn regeneration + bigger planets while exploring |
