Do you wan't us to move away from our dotard game ?
We don't care about your new source of money.
What is going to happened to TSO without flash ? (6 months lefts....)
What is your secret big plan ?
Tell us more, let us think something good will happen...
Curious on this too another game i play had been making this hyped up new game for years. turning all its resources to making that while milking the old game for revenue.
I guess for the new game increased gem offers more events etc pretty much same as here has
when there new game launched it flopped lol...and i see history repeating itself here and the worrying part is we all know the game ends in 2020
they have already stated they wont move the game to a new platform so we know its stuck in flash and after 2020 flash stops ,
yes it will still work but it will no longer be safe to use as it wont get fixes to any security issues the whole reason why there killing it off its too easily used to hack people...
so i would like to know what BB plans are because at the moment if your still selling gems when you know in a years time the game will be closed then morally thats wrong like selling giftcards from a store that knows it will be closing and the cards will be useless
Just about every point you make here are about as wrong as General Custer using his air miles to visit Little Big Horn. If you had actually bothered to pay attention to what BB have been saying you would know the following.Quote:

2 Flash will not stop, it will never stop. If some games company decides to bring out a new flash game in a thousand years from now, they can. It's like computers from the 80's which still have new games being developed. All it means is no new development or updates for flash, the 2020 version will be the final version.
3 Ceasing development of flash is the ultimate security fix. There is no kudos for the script kiddies in hacking old niche software which is what flash will become.
4 They have said they are looking at other platforms.
5 As far as selling gems before the game closes the onus is on you to prove that they knowingly sold them with the knowledge of game closure, if you do have such proof then ethically you should pursuing legal action, to fail to do so makes you just not as guilty but shows your not willing to stand up for what you believe in.
We? Who is "we"? You do not have my permission to speak for me. I can do that quite well myself.Quote:

The game will probably be ported to use AIR instead (same codebase as flash), much better since it would leave out the browser hopefully.
I don't mind news about the new game, I am pretty wary about bluebyte releases though. I was very interested in settlers 7, but its release price was too high, it took too long to be discounted and there was very minimal effort put into fixing bugs.
@Dorotheus
I like your suppositions...
But I prefer facts.
Flash will not disapear ? Please, are you a psychic ?
We have many exemple of lost technologies... Why flash would be an exception ?
All your supposition are not facts, not at all.
BB annouce that they are still working on it, we don't know anything else... It's a secret big plan... or maybe nothing.
Only BB can tell... not some psychic player...
If you are so unhappy with what BB do, the direction of the game, etc etc etc why not simply use the amazing option of stopping playing?Quote:

Which is completely irrelevant because the problem is not the availability of the language itself, but the platform to run it on.Quote:

THis means an awful lot of technical problems and potentially an unknown number of players leaving the game because they can no longer easily play it.
