the problem is xi has a tiny population, depending on what inno classes as active we're allready way below the 1000 player mark which means xi will be shut down at the first lot of server cuts, whether this was caused by pv scaring everyone off or the whole rim being pacted together meaning new recruits have no targets and no possible growth or even because 2.0 opened soon after xi doesnt really matter
our solution isnt to try and "save" the world, for that we'd need a few hundred new players to join and considering how many servers they can choose from thats not gonna happen, our proposed solution is to join the top players together and build 4 of the wonders asap, 1 in each corner of the map, that way we gain entry into the hero worlds faster and just hope they deliver a faster pace and a much higher world population
I'll add to that slightly, as I don't see any reason to build the wonders in different corners of the world, unless of course you want to spread out the players contributing?
Patriott,
The world XI will end before any exisiting alliance could successfully build 4 wonders and open the hero world. (mathematical probability)
Our options are (1) to let it die, or (2) to build a hero world and hope that it gets an influx of new players or
(3) Build a hero world that is jointly populated by players from XI and another server (we can do this by finishing our world wonders close to the same time other servers do, the chance of which is greatly increased if we control the 'finish time' for these wonders, by being prepared to finish the 4th wonder at a time of our chosing.
To do this, we need everyone (the top 200 actives) to participate together. If we don't do this, it is likely XI will end, with no future potential hope to migrate to a hero world, and take advantage of the new game enhancements offered in a hero world.
Essentially, we would need to start on a different server and do it all over again, in hopes we wouldn't be in the same situation 6 months later.
When I proposed the idea I thought it would be a long shot unless we could manage to get the people to organize and commit together, we can, as long as we are determined.
I think (3) is the best thing to do.
