Thanks for answering some of my questions. You guys seem to be exactly what this game needs, I hope that turns out to be true. If you do the things you say you will, it will go a long way in restoring some faith in the game management. People are starting to think of you as the smart kids in a family of idiots.

Of course Lydias you are not included in the idiot category. You were the only one worth anything until these fellas came along. Like I said, all they need to do is follow through.

Looks promising enough, and thank you for at least attempting to shut Dharan up :P

We'll see if the game is still alive by the end of the summer for me to return to :P

thanks for the update.

my biggest concern is that once it is put out onto genesis for testing, that you give it a long enough period of time before it's put out onto wol.

Good read. Nice to hear you're sticking to what's important. (Coding and not chatting on IRC...) However, the "no pay-to-win nonsense" comment certainly doesn't bode well for the future of Utopia. As mentioned, you said the same thing with Utopia "Khanwars" Kingdoms... and yet the "pay-to-win nonsense" is front and center in that game.

Interesting to note you would consider a name change. I'm all for it. "Kingdoms on Fire!" (ok, maybe not...)

lol, nice link. Probably just reserving it, they already gave us a new site... surely they wouldn't make a new new site? Right?

<3 Brian & Sean, they answered a question I asked. I feel so validated, it's a bit sad really.

Thanks for the replies.

I was just wondering - after the both of you (Brian & Sean) fix the code, what are the next things on your agenda with regards to Utopia Classic? i.e. would the domain shift to utopiaclassic.com straightaway, will you be looking at fixing the guide next, developing other external programs for the iphone/facebook, or work on promoting the game?

Also, it's nice to know that you guys are actively playing the game. Mehul knew the game inside out because it was his baby, and he knew intuitively how the changes he implemented would affect his game both at the top and the lower tiers. With this in mind, will it just be the two of you installing the changes and do you intend to possibly pick up some top kingdom experience?

I might have missed it in the updates, but do we have an ETA yet on completion and installation onto gen?

and how long are you actually planning on testing it on gen before putting it live on wol?

This is a classic and needs to be remembered:

DHaran: Will you make an attempt to not suck as much as the rest of OMAC at running this game? If UC is going to be your baby, then don’t be crackhead parents who try selling the baby for dope. A little nourishment and attention would be lovely.

Will you make use of an affiliate system? so if you get new people to start playing you get a little real money in your pocket.
