Hello people, I wanted to ask some stuff about the forum that we are on. Although I think the game has made a lot of improvements by having a forum on the sideline where people can vent their opinions and get them ever important caps, I do think there are some things a bit wobbly here and there. Not that I dont appreciate all the effort that goes into this! I know its a fulltime job to just host a forum and you also have a fulltime job running the actual game.
a few things though
Zombie pen & Wheel-o'-caps
The zombie pen isnt loading for me correctly half the time and the layout is all wrong, I cant see some of the buttons other people have and yesterday a few zombies actually dissapeared. I like to believe they finally found freedom from my disgusting zombie breeding factory and are living happy lives out in the wild now but to be honest Im pretty sure they got hit by the first car at the first road they tried to cross (Im going radically off topic sorry).
It just seems a bit shaky in my opinion but a great idea nonetheless.
same goes for the wheel o' caps, the wheel isnt loading but only when I click it and sometimes the wheel dissapears halfway.
Sending caps & stock exchange
Ive been hearing a lot of things going wrong with this, payments that arent fullfilled, people higher up the ladder not being able to send caps at all etc.
Also the stock exchange had the names of actual buildings/companies in the game which helped with emergence for me (whats there to emerge but whatever xD).
Point is Ive been hearing a lot of ambitious stuff from staff members about economy building etc. and so far things are going quite well and Im very much able to handle all the little titbits that arent in place every now and then. Perfection knows no charm in my opinion and all these little things make it perfect in its own right.
but Im looking ahead
If this is Zeeks Haven forum then other games are going to be on here soon as well (already heard talks about Ark Survival Evolved getting a section on here) and what are little specks of imperfection right now can turn out to total gamebreakers (forumbreakers?) later. I saw that we have over 200 members on this forum right now of which about 50 are active on a daily basis. This means that when we do grow in numbers and adding other games to the forum, I wouldnt be surprised if we ended up with about 2000 members at some point, the little snowballs rolling down the hill right now will have formed into avalanches and we can forget that whole economy system OR create so much work for the forum that you guys need a forum admin just to plug all the holes.
Im just spitballing here (as I did so many times on this forum).
My question basicly is - are these problems temporarily (seeing 2 months ago there wasnt a forum at all)? Or are these things something we just have to deal with? It seems like a shitton of work on the sideline for those responsible for taking care of an already extremely work intensive game.
keep it constructive please! Im sure people have suggestions or more experience than me with these sort of things.
