Income is lost when 3 seasons are completed in a calendar year instead of 4 because of delays in filling.

"I joined this world with my buddy so-and-so, but we didn't get merged into the same world!"

"So-and-so was a troublemaker, and I really prefer not to be in a merged world with him!"

Owners with aliases have two teams in the same world (existing merger problem, not just a 4-for-3 deal)

Just a lot of logistical nightmares, not sure if WIS wants to deal with.

Were those complaints made often following the recent mergers?

If the other option was losing your team, which is worse?

Beats me, I'm not part of Site Staff.

But if I joined the game with a buddy and we got split up, I'd probably be horked off if we ended up in separate worlds.

Dont get me wrong... I'm really not trying to be argumentative. Just playing Devil's Advocate. I'm not in any worlds that are threatened by this process, so its not really a big deal to me. I just think that everyone needs to start holding themselves accountable rather than expecting WIS to fix it all for them.

I'd be curious what owners in the merged worlds had to say about this... any hiccups?

Is that like "spitting mad"?

Income is deferred when 3 seasons are completed in a calendar year instead of 4, and the customers stick around to play the fourth. Income is lost when customers leave.

Folding a world in my opinion will cause more lost customers than it will create new customers. People losing their team or the threat of possibly losing their team in the future will just drive people away.No, it really doesn't.   People who enjoy HBD would adapt to the new guideline.  Fearmongers would have their day.  But even the fearmongers who enjoy the game would stay and play.

It's not fear anymore once it happens, then it becomes reality.....

You're asking too much of ... um, some people.

I've never had a problem filling worlds either. But a lot of worlds do. Owners waiting for a month lose interest. Owners who lose interest are more likely to just drop the game. Good for HBD?
