Where are all players ? The game mostly looks like a offline games , no players , no active chat ....

Where are all ?

You must be in Sufokia, am I right?  

Its the weekend so their is a war on, they are all in the small islands.

They're probably fighting out the weekend war.
I'm stuck in another nation right now, and I'd rather not get killed when I log on, so yeah.

can some1 tell me why cant i patch my BETA client it says Uninstal i must download again ?

Hi, sadly to inform you.

The old beta client cant be use anymore.

You have to download the client again.

Sufokias population isn't that low, you can see many Sufokians in other nations or islands. The problem is that everyone thinks "oh, it's so empty here, lets go to Bonta", and that way it's easier to find people in Bonta, cos people from all nations go there. If they would just stay in their own nations, there wouldn't be a problem. Today Sufokia and Bonta was at war, and because of that, you could see much more people in Sufo than usually. Govs should do something about it... It's not just about players, but also markets, everyone sells their stuff in Bonta

Bcs everybody go to the Bonta but "there's the most of people" and there's the most things in the market so new people go there, that's why Sufokia and Brakma, as I see, don't have a lot of items in the market. If people don't only go to Bonta, it will be much better but... Explane that to everyone. It's easier to start playing in the nation with the bigest population...And blablacircle.

I've been proposing to our Bontarian Government about the idea of going to war with Sufokia full-time in a bid to enforce an embargo on Sufokians abandoning their own nation to flock in ours. While Bonta's now massively populated, Sufokia lays bare and empty and it's disappointing to see a whole nation exist as a barren wasteland just because no-one plays there.

Bonta going to war with Sufokia would actually, in the long run, do Sufokia some good - the majority of Sufokians would stop heading to Bonta and actually start building up their own home. Bonta's already overpopulated - we don't actually need any more players crowding the place up, and something needs to be done about Sufokians not actually playing in Sufokia.

Sure, this might disrupt some monster farming and our dungeons may become inaccessible to one another. However, this will just convince players to start relying on trade and commerce to access those resources and the national economies will ultimately benefit.The PvP fanatics from both sides get a full-time war to participate in, and we can play out a genuine nation/nation wargame - not just some weekend event.

There may be some kinks to work out here, but you can see it yourself: something needs to be done about this, or Sufokia will forever remain a ghost country.

There's nothing wrong with having a market hub in one location per se. Problem is that people always choose the path of less resistance.
Since you have to find a zap, spend 2 kama or grind for cannon powder etc...it's easier to just be in Bonta where you'll find whatever else you need anyway.
Maybe all nations markets should be connected?

We currently do have an 'international' markeplace set for all nations, where everyone can trade in a neutral zone even during war times - the Land of Kelba.

Problem is, that's in a high-level area and it costs 20k (although a one-off) just to reach the island. That's enough to turn any newbie, or kama-poor player, away from trading there.

You pay 20k only once. And there is a zaap, which is 2k.

Well..if there is another location somewhere with a market it doesn't really help the issue of people leaving their home nation.
If we want people to have their home nation as base and just visit the others occasionally then maybe more wars is better and more "sandboxy" then having some enforced game mechanic.

My point exactly. People often choose to criticise Ankama for every problem the game has right now (such as the broken economy, which is totally the players' fault anyway) but a lot of it can come down to the players themselves. It's all about using the features we've got in the game to make it more fun for all.

And like I said, Bonta and Sufokia going to war full-time could be exactly what Sufokia needs right now. A war's the perfect deterrent for players leaving for other nations, and it looks like Bonta's the most popular destination for Sufokians. Shutting them off will encourage them to stay at home, and actually start playing in the nation THEY chose to be citizens of.

I;m from Sufokia and i exp in Sufokia, seed in Sufokia and do almost everything in Sufokia but selling items there it's almost imposible. So i sell in Bonta when there are most people. But I see that people from other nation teat Sufokia llike palce to seed theres seeds, trees and the other thing bcs there's not that much playeer to harvest their staff. I don;t like when people fron fe. Bonta come, seed and agroing me bcs i harvest from things that they seed. It's just rude bcs it's not their nation so why can't I do this on my theritory? if they don't want me to do this why they can't seed somewhere in their own nation? I don't bother the rest of things that much but this is really annoying for me.
If I aggroing I doing this only in my nation and only if it's really important crops for me. Don't be so self-righteous people
