Want updates? Then stop paying for accounts. Stephen is a businessman and like everyone else is motivated by money.
What better a business than setting up a game where people pay you for playing.
Put that together with a loyal band of voulenteers who help staff the game and sit back to watch the cash roll in, it may not be alot a month, or it may be enough to keep him and his family. (Who really knows)
If you would like action on the game then you can bet your bottom dollar that if the money stops then the work will start.
Hell who am I kidding? |

99+ day(s) ago | funny though how things developped. I mean, uc was nothing once. I wonder why he let GC die. There was a time when GC was makin money Im sure. |

99+ day(s) ago | If anything you`ve got to convince all of UC to stop buying paids and colonies and bs like that... if they stop all financial contributions completely until gc is updated then hmmmm maybe he`ll get around to update gc. |

99+ day(s) ago | Donation promotions pay for advertising
Advertising brings more players
More players donate
More Advertising is purchased
More players come
They donate or get paid accounts
Avertising is paid for the creator of the game AkA stephen can pay his bills.
I play several other online games and have seen the uc BANNER ON MOST OF THEM. If GC is to survive it`s going to need to generate additional revenuse via donation promotions to pay for advertising. It`s a bitter pill but one thats much needed. |

99+ day(s) ago | Yeah but its a buisness. Its up to the buisness to attract customers not the other way around and if thats the way he thinks he should go back to university and take a couple more buisness courses. Why have one cash cow when you can have two, I guess i am just crazy or greedy :P.
no offence meant to stephen, just sad to see gc slipping :( |

99+ day(s) ago | Actually the lack of paid accounts on GC is the reason we have not go an update. Only about 100 active players on GC and probally out of that maybe 50 are paid. This represents around $250 a month wohoooo! I bet this does not even cover the expenses of running the game.
He needs to concentrate on Uc because that`s where the money is to feed his familly.
And every time he try`s to generate money for Gc via promotions he is chewed out by his staff and Gc vets. Bottom line is you get what you pay for! |

99+ day(s) ago | Another possibility if people stop paying is that Stephen finnaly turns GC off :P |

99+ day(s) ago | Tranq, everyone here knows UC is his cash cow, GC is just paying over his GC maintenane bill, the only way he will update it is if he ever gets too it, sure money is a big factor, that is why he has so many ways to pay in UC vs here ...
but hell what do I know im just a newb |

99+ day(s) ago | as i understand UC has much much more players then GC so stoping paying at GC will not solve anything in my opinion. If he (Stephen) no longer care about GC loosing some of cash floating from here won`t change his mind.
second thing i do not believe, that who are paying will listen to this. the new ones like me, allready decided to pay for this or not. i choose not to pay and have my reason. this post won`t do nothing |
