Being away this past week.. was quite busy

Well, at last, it happened: AG server went offline, and on friday it was announced at OB4 that all servers will be shut down.
We were right beign suspicuos about it. Delay was only to get some of us hooked for another month.

Found that there are others developers offering OrkBuster servers for "outside china". Not to mention chineese version of the game.
But although I liked very much the game concept, won't go on with it. Has many important bugs that allow some kind of cheating, and progress curves are simply very poorly designed. Submitted tickets about it all, and haven't seen any serious attempt to fix any.

Haven't found any suitable replacement game yet. There are tons of such MMO games, but all seem to follow the pay-to-win concept. Something I do dislike.

Cya!

Meh.

Oh well, i thought so, honestly. That's why i didn't join anymore. I'm also a bit fed up with the game, progress in the later game stages just weren't fun enough anymore to justify the time needed to play it. Just grinding and repetitive dailies. Too bad there are so many, actually good games that followed this concept and of course got shut down again because of greedy publishers.

GameHollywood surely did a great job designing the game. I still hope that it might return after a major overhaul regarding the stupid pay-to-play concept. Even the gift i received (+41% agility, among other stats) didn't change ANYTHING. Doubt we'll ever see it again though. Possibly not worth the effort for any publisher/developer to put any more financial effort in that game. Target audience is just too small. Even some of the biggest titles already failed because of stupid, greedy concepts.

I currently play SWTOR again (Star Wars - The Old Republic) which also has a lot of RIDICULOUS paywalls but at least i can still enjoy the storylines up to a certain point (newest addons) and play it for months, if not years. And even this game is having trouble finding enough paying customers. Because, EA.

Ah, well.

Will you keep this forum for us then, Etheron? Would be nice. Even when no one here is posting anything for a long while, we could still use it to post any news or such.

Cheers!

Oh, btw: I'm really looking forward to Star Citizen.

Keep the forum? hmmm, first need to check how many paying suscriptions we have here

As far as i know, GameHollywood/Proficient City didn't make the game. Found R2 Games is/was also offering to play OrkBuster, as long as other games like War Tunes, WinterFrost, etc. Haven't found the real developer of theese games, but it's from China. Then companies like ProficientCity/R2Games, etc., offer game servers, esp. outside china. Don't know yet how commercial contract works, but should be some kind of one time or monthly payment for the license.

For example, WarTunes and DDtank were made by chinese 7 Road, Shenzhen city, Guangdong Province. Then game is distributed and licenced to companies like Proficient City, R2 Games, Game321.

Have some busy days ahead, don't feel much like starting a new online game. But most probably will do so before december.
Maybe you should create a new topic for SWTOR, or other intering game to follow? Star Citizen, maybe?
Found there's a free WoW starter edition, limited to lvl20 and no cookies/coffee. Was thinking of trying it.
I can follow a game daily, but since I have not much time for gaming, rather prefer cooperative PvE focused games, rather than PvP.

cya!

"The game server is maintaining". I am not able to log in to server 4:(. I hope it is only temporary...

So, at last, here we are...
a week till DOOMSDAAAY 

We've found original china "OrkBuster" game (it's named different there): 塔防联盟
(no, really, it doesn't mean "Ork Buster". It's something like "Tower Defence Alliance")

and... believe it or not, many of us are playing chinese version, chinese servers.

Check:
塔防联盟官网 (official site): http://web.4399.com/tflm/ (4399 is developer)
暗黑暴君 双线62服: server 62 (a relative new server added, were exOrkBuster ppl are playing)
Translation of some terms: http://workupload.com/file/AnseDWM (thanks to Lan, exAG)

Game is quite different, with more features, and more developed.

i.e.:
* no need to farm like crazy for materials to upgrade towers. You upgrade with amethyst after reaching some needed hero levels.
* equipment up to level 80+.
* enchanting equipment is a bit different.
* instead of getting tower materials, you get some shards, you can then use on different things (not only tower upgrade).
* you can play multiplayer any dungeon.
* you can train monsters, and attack other players cities to loot amethyst (use it, don't stockpile!)
* you can build up city defenses with your towers.
* no mysterious continent. Events are different.
* dungeon layout is almost the same, but tower and monsters stats are different.

After knowing all this, makes my wonder: was it really necesary to ruin the game with all things changed as we had?
Think I won't get a reasonable answer.

Anyway, if you have too much free time, and don't know what to do with it, go for it. You'll find exAG like Lan, Ratta, slag, Isabel, pame. And exOB4 players, like petra58. Remember server 62 (双线62服), join top guild (whatever it's name is).

OrkBuster's doomsday is near!

Qapla'!
