    I don't think he neglected to mention it; it's pretty obvious that the oldest players of the game originate from the oldest servers of the game.

    It's all Rodri's fault.

    Actually yes, you are limited in what you will be able to do. Unless you are lucky enough to win all your Michaelangelo Scripts on the Wheel of Misfortune. And you will need at least 6 of them. How lucky do you feel? For them to say you are not limited is a rediculous claim. You have as much chance of hitting the Lotto as you do getting the Mikey Script from the Wheel.

    Mich Scripts become pretty meh once you can start replacing your cities with lvl 10 NPCs, IMO. I don't know if that's harder to do on newer servers than older ones, though.

    Default Game coins

    It works out to money=time. You can advance and be one of the top players on your server without spending a cent - but you will need to spend more time everyday playing the game.

    On my server, a top 10% player will dedicate 2-3 hours per day playing. If you don't spend coins, you will need to spend 3-4 hours per day to stay competitive with the top 10% of players.

    Of course the top player on my server appears to spend 24 hours per day and spends loads of money on the game, but thats the trade-off, time v. money.

    Yes that is pretty obvious..

    What is also obvious though is that the physical age of the servers is not a significant part of his point, in the sentence "old servers which actually dropped medals and other useful items from valleys and NPC's."

    Yes, it would be obvious to someone completely new that older players play on older servers, but they won't necessarily know about the lowered medal drop rate in the newer servers.

    Where, to a new player, is it obvious? You are either being extremely ignornant or extremely disingenuous. And that is the problem on this board. Moderators are supposed to be helpful. And yes, I have mod'ed game forums before. But I have yet to encounter a officially sanctioned board where the mods are glib, sacrosanct, and in general completely out of touch with the everyday player. You just proved that.

    A player who join the oldest servers when they started are going to have several months' head start over those that have joined new servers. You're more likely to find a "most successful" end-game account on a server that's been around for several months than a server that's been around for a couple weeks.

    Whether the servers share identical drops or not can be a factor in progress, yes, but on average, people on a newer server are not going to be up to par with those on an older server regardless.

    So yes, the most successful and oldest players are going to be those that have had an account the longest and put the most time into it. That's not a scam, that's how most everything works.

    Now, if you would like to ask Valkirah if he had considered the alleged item drop ratios of newer servers into his response, perhaps you could do that politely rather than making snarky quips at us, hm?
    It's all Rodri's fault.
