One year has passed by and almost nobody in this thread really mentioned the actual big elephant in the room: THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.

If I were to pick the one thing that would help atWar the most, it would be an AI to play against. First-timers don't have the patience to wait for games to fill, or else they get into games with players who grossly outmatch them and get killed instantly. Either way that's no fun, so no wonder people leave. An AI player would completely solve this problem and allow people to get into the game more easily.

Nice thread, and barely anyone here actually identified the real reason the game is in the state it's in. Marketing and the games nature are only contributory factors. The game is quite niche. Yet in spite of this it retained players loyally for 10+ years.
You want the real reason this game has come to this point, the reason nobody here has the balls to talk about? It's name is Dave.
The simple fact of the matter is that nobody wants to play an oldschool browsergame ran by some bully dictator with a victim complex. I called it 6 years ago after experiencing Dave's behavior when he bullied me off the game and then lied about why I was banned. I played this game consistently for 8 years and even spent 2 years as a mod. What exactly did I do to deserve being erased?
There's a reason all the old clans like MK, Illy, Aristo left and never really came back after being active for years. They saw how things went down
Numbers don't lie, Dave does. He arrived in 2019. Bullying, broken promises and lies are his legacy. This game hasnt changed since Ivan/Amoks time in any tangible way, 6 years and what do you guys have to show from his ownership?

The fact is it doesn't matter if this game gets an AI. It doesn't matter if Dave spends 1 million on marketing. Nobody is going to want to play this game while he is admin. It doesn't take much to trigger him. I'm sorry but this is just the reality.

In my opinion (and I think I've said this before) the "comp community" is just not that important. When I researched this in detail a couple years ago, I found that the comp community is very vocal but very small part of atWar. The vast majority of our users was, and still is, first-timers and random users passing through. However atWar has an incredibly low retention rate, so few of those stick around.
I don't think getting rid of a few obnoxious players rises to the level of "alientating [a] core player base", and I don't think those few's "loss" has impacted our numbers in any significant way. Sure they made a lot of noise about it, but that was all it was -- noise. If you look at the numbers it's been one long continuous decline (except for a brief spike during Covid) from at least 2017 until now, and nothing I've done has been able to change that one way or the other.
If I were to pick the one thing that would help atWar the most, it would be an AI to play against. First-timers don't have the patience to wait for games to fill, or else they get into games with players who grossly outmatch them and get killed instantly. Either way that's no fun, so no wonder people leave. An AI player would completely solve this problem and allow people to get into the game more easily.
I find it amusing that in the poll above people voted for "no marketing". Those people must be completely unaware of the literally thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours we spent marketing the game, to no avail. Sure we got more raw traffic, but the retention just wasn't there, same as now. It was a tremendous waste of time and money, and will always be a waste unless/until something fundamental changes about the game (like the addition of an AI).
Oh well. We can still reboot atWar someday if/when time & money become more abundant for such an overhaul. Until then, it is what it is.
Whatever delusions help you sleep at night Dave. The November Fiasco thread you deleted had 50+ players telling you what they wanted. That's no minority with this games daily activity levels.
As was pointed out to you, you never understood this game's culture. You never understood what attracted players and made them stay so loyally. And this comment just highlights how little you think of your longterm players once theyve paid their premium fee.
Even from a buisness perspective, the market told you what it wanted and you ignored it.
Do me a favour, never buy a game i play again please.
Fucking Asshole.

Unfortunately the list doesn't end there..
Back in 2021 a lot of us were either banned, deleted or wiped off the game for no other reason than simply stating our concerns and speaking up when a lot within the community were afraid to do so. The aftermath of this resulted in a lot of close friends, clanmembers, rivals, or just people with actual morals, that saw all of this happen in front of their eyes, backing out and leaving the game, eventually resulting in the current state this game is in, unfortunately..
