Frostbow Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 World of Warships RU Server recently awarded 15,000 Doubloons to each and every player who made it to the leaderboards of each class of ship (with the exception of submarines). Details here: https://korabli.su/ru/news/general-news/best-players-2022/ I say this is a very nice gesture. Meanwhile, on the other servers: *crickets* 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel_Allan_Clark Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 That server has been hemorrhaging players for a while now... ...this is a 'PLEASE STAY?!' gesture, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevermore135 Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Not surprising. MK (old WoWs RU) has a player population problem. Their devs are being comparatively generous with rewards to encourage player engagement. WoWs, on the other hand, appears to be pursuing a more aggressive monetization strategy to offset the cost of spinning off the original development studio and having to relocate and replace much of the dev team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakob Knight Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 (edited) The population base of that server and the countries it services have a ton of problems right now economically and societally, so I'm not surprised the people running it are trying desperately both to keep players in their game and present an image of confidence and stability. Players on other servers don't need such to keep playing and believing their game is doing well, so I can see why WG isn't doing the same.

Except for CVs, apparently he refused to participate in those. Gotta say, it makes you realize why he flames other people so easily.

There's a reason I put this in my profile signature/quotes lines. --> "It is the strong who can afford to be gentle." Edited to add: Thanks for the correction about the "winner singular" information, though. Edited September 29, 2023 by Wolfswetpaws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a different game, owned and run by a different company. To use a programming term, its a fork of World of Warships and now it is it's own thing. Like Open Office vs LibreOffice So much looks the same but different products. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how long until they release the RU Missile Ships they were testing a while back but WG decided not to go forward with (at least yet).

In my book both are still essentially the same game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
