We read a lot of feedback on the beta and decide to change up some things:
1. We will decrease the energy cost of crafting to 0. You will be able to craft without bringing energy for it.
2. Decreasing crafting time from 10minutes to 5minutes. After that change it will just take 5minutes to craft one item.
3. We will introduce some more starting recipes with much lower effort. With this change you will be able to craft easily with very low products and get some profession points.
We will deploy this changes today afternoon on the beta world 1. The new Poker front end will be also included in this version.
Another information for you guys
We are planning to create an international market. On these servers you will be able to play with others around the world. Every player will be able to set up his “home” language for the game. In chat / forums etc. should be english the spoken language. Another special Feature of this international world will be a premium world. That means you have to pay a small amount of nuggets to join this world for a month or 2 weeks (not clearly yet) and all other premium features will be disabled. In addition the world will be defined as a speed world (faster working, walking, sleeping etc.)
rainy please change something so we don’t lose all items if KOed during crafting. otherwise crafters will go townless. ๐
the speed world is an awsome thing, can’t wait!
a question – will fort battle rounds get shortened there? ๐
How about admins` language? If it is international world, admins should mow some languages, not only Eng, to answer in the support
Please don’t reduce energy usage to zero. There should be some minimum requirement like 4 or 5 energy. Otherwise it is becoming way too easy and will ruin the whole system by flooding the world with crafted products.
@Pedro Ramirez
You still need the products to craft something, so i think the removed energy should not be any problem
Hm.. not quite the changes I had in mind when posting in the feedback thread ๐
So you’re not planning to turn crafting into another full occupation in TW, with equal chances to advance (level up & make your income) as with dueling, fort battles and existing (high gain) jobs..? Too bad.
Good changes. I donยดt agree with the 0 energy. You could reduce is to 5 minutes 5 energy points.
That would make it a normal option and we wouldnยดt lose so much energy when crafting. (since itยดs a work you will lose energy)
Still no predict for upgrading normal worlds to 1.31?
premium world is probably the worst idea ever . i know every effort needs to be paid , but personnally i came to the west only for for one reason , because the game is free . if advertising isn’t enought to pay the fees , actual premium system should be enough . i take some premium sometimes and there’s the sponsor pay system too and 2 euros plus 2 euros plus 2 euros , don’t know but i think it should be enough . we come and get some new friends out there , please think of those that don’t born in a golden cradle . Caution of not blowing the whole thing up because of a question of money . please don’t take that as a threat of any kind , i’m just saying the only thing because i came to the west it’s because it’s free , going faster i don’t care , the only thing i’m interested in is a free game
Cordially
Both improvements are awesome!
It would be possible to add to teh new poker skin two buttons to fast bid Pot and Half Pot? That would be great and would complete the poker at all!
Thanks for your work!
awesome speed world!!!
await!!!
I really can’t see the crafting taking off on actual worlds. The sheer number of products needed to gain 50 crafting points is daunting. As it is now, you need well over 200 hours working 3 mindless jobs to come close to having the number of items needed.
I joined on beta just to check out the crafting as it appeared an enticing addition, yet was disappointed with the results.
What about wholesale?? It is necessary for CRAFT
ะัะพัะปััะฐัั
it looks pretty, and the speed world to, but, i haven’t the mony to play there :p, but nice work dev’s !
hmm, I have one question (yeah I knew, with a lot time after my first post xd) but, when you the time is over with you’re premium on the speed world, you’re account goes automaticcaly in vaction mode untill you have payed the nuggets, of you’re account disapered ?
rainy I beg of you, if it’s true that in 1.31 we can send any amount of ingame cash to any player, please reconsider the money transfer option, it will ruin the game unless controlled by the engine in some way.
thanks.
good stuff. poker now looks nice.
now time to chat directly to dev cause idea section i forum noone care about.
-products list A-Z in market
-post stacks of stuff in one time.
5 months+ it is getting boring especially on old worlds with less numbers.
may be combine the worlds like each world=different state. off course with conditions of traveling to certain world

Does someone know anything about this?
mmp please read The Roadmap, it says this (if it does get implemented at all):
Towns
Certain buildings will have unlimited construction levels, offering some (but minimal) advantages and something to do for builders. Constructing buildings above level three will consume resources. These high level buildings will deteriorate over time.
keep it simple.
i agree with what “nobody@cant read the rest” said.
simplifying things, organising things, in general breaking things down in an orderly way.
like the A-Z he mentioned.
at the moment the devs have added on so much that it has kinda become strung out, and a bit patchy.
dont get me wrong, i think its all great , just like moving furniture around the room,
we have all that crap, now to position it all in a perfect harmony with everything.
so it fits nice, is fluid, with maximum efficiency for the office (but for the game.
ps, i have a a pair of pants for every day of the year, but only one gun,, whats wrong with that ?
and now im off to take my monthly bath.
@mmp123 – it’s the symbol that’s used for level 6 barracks (big forts).
Yes, it’s in the folder “hotel_stars”, since the other 5 are used by both hotels & forts ๐
can you please please please make a change with the quests that require you to be at a certain place at a certain time, IE be at slaoon between 6 and 10pm server time, easy you might say, but when your on the ohter side of the world and between 6 and 10 server time becomes like 2 am and 6am well DOH! im alsleep at that time …………..
I’m stuck with my premium A/C’s in mulitble worlds as I cant progress with quests because of this….
someone suggested way back, AM PM idea. it been almost 2 yrs. since it was passed with almost 100% votes by .net forum. dev rejected it. so stay stuck and search .net forum and make the thread active again.

my name i will not say since i will be criticizing.

market lay out need to be worked on rather than ‘poker’. it is just you guys throw drop down menu and scripts. IMPROVE the lay out. more user friendly…[do you read this? replay].
@NOboDY@seeeeeeeeeeeee.com
they spoke to me once,, yes they did,, i remember the day like it was yesterday ๐
im guessing they have loads to do, reason why i posted about moving furniture around an office.
first lets get our junk in the room, then lets fuss about how it looks.
i noticed from a previous post, that they dont have a great many people working on the west, thus means their hands are all tied,
designing, scripting, testing, bug hunting, and trying to control us, staff, mods, public’s, and other.
the poker has been in the works for a while now, but they wont put something out there that can be cheated with, broken, or has bugs to scramble your account…with research and design, those sort of mini programs are begging for loop holes to be exploited,, the longer it takes means the less chance of so such incidents.
with the organisation of the items, the markets and more,, sounds nice and is a brilliant suggestion and a valid one…and not the first ,,just that there are priorities , dont fix it if it aint broke,,while having to fix other things that are deemed broken are more important at the moment.
reason why i said things a bit strung out,, who cares,…get it out there, patch it ,, fix it,,
same as paining a fence, dig a hole, saw some rough planks, wack em into the ground,, at first it will look pretty crude and nasty,,but its a fence never the less
but then when you panit it,,is it done …
@ nobody, they do read these posts, otherwise they would not allow us to post ,, most companies dont,,
join the beta worlds,,then you will be able to see first hand how game production takes place, its actually a pretty amazing thing to sit listen and learn.
roime was not made in a day.
Don’t get disappointed with the feedback on premium worlds, I think it’s actually a great thing to do… There is a lot of players who love the game, but hate the premium… Even if they can afford to pay for some level of premium, they are simply disgusted by those players paying much, much more… An international world of pro-gamers, equal for everyone, free of game-destroying premiums and still funny enough because it’s a speed, that simply can’t be a bad move. Even though I’m not going to play there, it’ll be pretty interesting to watch, for example using the alliance map at tw-db.info…
But, you know… To please everyone, could you give another thought to a free speed server? ๐
Well I have always played without premium.Not because I wanted to but because its very[and I mean very] hard to get an international credit card or even a foreign currency account in my country.Its not expensive; our reserve bank regulations allow only exporter and importers to open such account.
I have never had any problem with other players spending lots of money in premium and I don’t think its ruining the game .As my position in w1 hall of fame will show you I am not ding too bad either ๐
But I guess the international world won’t be for ordinary international players like me. ๐
there’s a premium i would no doubt pay for , it’s an erasing free character system . for example , you pay 400 nuggets (example) and your character is free of deleting for a 1 year duration
cheers
No no I think this premium world is a waist just one more desperate attempt to make money out of a dieing game…………………
