thank you for this explanation. now i know that a healthy game community is very important to you. that you are working on the security of the playeraccounts, That you are working on the ant-botsystem and bot advertisements. that your focus is on the longterm and that you actually never changed your dedication, passion and that you just want a healthy game. i also understand now that the SOF and SGS are there to support the company and to be able to develop further in the future.
Really thumps up for this post!!!!
Still i have some points i would like to say.
One of the things that is being said when you are becoming member is that there is no advertisements. But now with the SOF you get spammed every day by this goblin in the middle of the screen that you still have to spin, or when you log in you see big advertisements of the sizzling summer updates, Skill Fu, or anything that is related to this SOF or SGS. Thiss is for me a big issue, it keeps away the magic when a huge advertisement blocks the rest of the screen or when you have this goblin yelling at you when you just want to play the game.
Another thing is the fact that you can get money and xp from the SOF. As eexplained it is not much, because of the chance factor, but the fact thst you can get it as a player is already bad to my opinion. I remember the days that you started as a noob walking around with some gp wondering how to make money and then finding out that you can make money by killing chickens. This kind of experience like really starting from a real noob to a rich and skilled player is long time gone, already by some other updates, like the home teleport, which makes it so easy to travel around. i remember myself working my ass of to get a high magic level to be able to teleport around. now as a noob you just activate it once, and there is no need to get a high magic lvl. it has become way too easy to get money, xp, and to teleport.
