Fine as in 'fine', or as in "You look okay". If it's the former, then I thank you for your compliment, but I don't swing that way...

To the citizens of the United States of America
In light of your failure to financially manage yourselves and inability to effectively govern yourselves responsibly, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately.
Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths and territories (with the exception of Texas which is beyond hope).
Your new Prime Minister, David William Donald Cameron will appoint a governor for the former United States of America without the need for future elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated sometime next year to determine if anyone even noticed.
To aid in the transition to a British Crown dependancy, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect.
1. You will learn that the suffix BURGH is pronounced "burra". You can spell Pittsburgh as Pittsberg from now on if you can't cope with simple pronunciation. Then look up aluminium and check the pronunciation - you will be amazed at just how wrong you've been pronouncing it.
2. The letter "U" will be reinstated in words such as "colour", "favour" and "neighbour". Likewise, you will learn how to spell doughnut without dropping half of the letters.
3. Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels (look up vocabulary). Using the same 27 words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication.
4. There is no such thing as "US English". Microsoft will be contacted and the spell checker will be adjusted to take into account the reintroduced letter "U"
5. You will learn your reintroduced National Anthem "God Save The Queen" & July 4th will no longer be a public holiday.
6. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not ready to be independent. Guns should only be handled by adults and then used solely for hunting grouse. If you're not adult to sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist then you're certainly not ready to handle a gun, let alone shoot grouse.
Therefore, you will be no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. A permit will be required should you wish to carry this in public.
All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and this is for your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand.
All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts and you will start to drive on the left with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will allow you to understand the British sense of humour.
The former United States of America will adopt the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland prices on petrol (which you have, to date, been calling gasoline) of roughly $10 / gallon. Get used to it.
You will learn how to make real chips. Those things you call French Fries are not real chips and those things you insist on calling potato chips are correctly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat and dressed with malt vinegar.
Waiters and waitresses will be trained to be more aggressive and rude with customers.
The cold, tasteless stuff you insist on calling "beer" is not actually beer. Henceforth only proper "English Bitter" will be referred to as beer and European beers of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as lager. New Zealand and Australian beer is also acceptable. American "beers" will henceforth be known as "Near Frozen Gnats Urine"
Hollywood will be required to occasionally cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie MacDowell attempt English dialog in Four Weddings was bad, but Dick Van Dyke in "Mary Poppins" was akin to having ones ears removed with a cheese grater.
You will cease playing "American Football". There are only 2 kinds of proper football. One you call soccer and one you call rugby. Those of you who are brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which has SOME similarities to American Football but does not involve stopping for a rest every 20 seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies)
Further, you will stop playing baseball. It's not reasonable to host an event called "The World Series" for a game which is not played outside the USA. Since only 2.1% of you are aware there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. You will all learn cricket in it's place.
You must tell us who killed JFK - it's been driving us nuts.
An Inland Revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesties Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due, backdated to 1776.
Daily Tea Time begins at 4 pm with proper cups, with saucers, with high qualities biscuits (no longer called cookies) and cakes plus strawberries (with cream) when in season.
Thank you for your co-operation.
God Save The Queen

...I cant understand how i player cant go past the first 100 lvl without a problem...
some/many new players are not hooked in the first few weeks of game play - casual players or "tourists"
even if they join a guild (creating a guild is free now...many noob guilds out there, destined to fail) they may log on, hunt a hundred stam, and log off - not yet intensely enthusiastic about the game as are many of us
constantly hammering on someone during this "undecided" phase is a poor way of welcoming a potential regular player...or donator

Medals are their own reward.
When you got your 50m swimming badge, did you suddenly got a magical boost to your swimming ability? No, the badge just let others know that you'd done it, same as with medals.

when the boot fits you forge it
If you want to at least have a shot at getting your idea implemented, then you might want to keep this thread on topic rather than argue about your grudge on Composing.

I love this game and I really don't want to see it fizzle out. I understand that HCS is allocating many of its resources to Eldevin. This is understandable ... this game must be ready for release ASAP to help HCS revenue. This is another reason why I enjoy FS so much is I have donated... alot... in the past. I really haven't lately b/c the AH market is in shambles, the rich get richer, hording those pretty little dots they are so proud of .... Do we really need an FSP sink in this game, LOL??
My view is this: While many of the changes suggested seem interesting, one must keep in mind that HCS isn't MS or Google with thousands of staff members arriving at work each morning. This is a grass roots company that has done very well in the past, and are hard at work coming up with ideas that will keep their success moving forward.
Would I like to see updates in different aspects of the game every week: Heck yes, I feel like I've paid for it... but I also understand it isn't possible. The few HCS staff that work FS fulltime do just that... Work at it full time...
It's work for them... not a game... We log on after work, or school, or whatever your situation is... They log off and leave work, maybe go play basketball or cricket or whatever you chaps do. This isn't their "relax" time, but probably more of their "pain in the arse" time b/c we are constantly bickering-in game and out, begging for more content, updates, fixes, items, monsters.
Let's let them do their job... if the community happens upon a groudbreaking idea, that might make HCS job more effective without sacrificing efficiency, then HCS will take notice. But the lists of wants we have listed for them would stretch to the moon.
Play the game, embrace what you have, not what you have not, and enjoy the community. We are all people and even the most deuch-er-ific trolls out here might have a soft spot... if only you take the time to find it.
Good luck HCS, Thanks for what you've done, what your doing, and best of luck to your future.

Incentives are still a way to invite new players, and players who retired from the arena to return.
One frustrating thing that shin was getting at, is the fact when you play the arena and lose in the finals, you get a token.
Because that is one of the things that frustrate many players, is the fact that they got so far yet got nothing for it. It was one of the things that made players leave the arena and ultimately the game: see inactives on the top arena list.
This token idea isn't really an incentive. Its merely a "win" button in disguise!

GvG is a piece of piss.... what annoys me, and yes I have seen it first hand... is all the "multi" accounts farming RP. How do I know?... my first Guild, 5 players.. getting paid for each GvG, never upgrading... see it a mile off... their GvG FSP was going to another account.
I can go find you 25 guilds right now that are OBVIOUS multi guilds... Guild A: 10 players, all last activity "10 mins 25 secs"... BP storage maybe?
Lets not mention the Ladder "Multi" abuse shall we?
hehehe.

I really should add that I have talked with many people about this and many who dont go on forum.
Many agree with me it doesn't seem like a needed thing to add more for levels but that is only a small part of it.
Then tell them to get on the forum! It's here for them to give feedback and if they don't use it then how the devil do they expect things to go how they wish?
We cannot simply take your word for it that many players don't like it, nor are we telepathic, able to simply pluck their objection to the idea from their minds.
The forum is here for constructive feedback. Use it!
