    Why didn't you guys revise the investment site and say story complete, instead of story Launch?
    *Quote from the description you guys said you were going to go verify.
    We will have a similar purge of storyline game state in Summer 2017 at the start of SoTA official story release launch to incentivize new players from our 200K registrations and others in the network, such as Ultima players, into SoTA.
    (Also yes the spelling mistake is on that official page as well)
    Yes, yes dont lawyer you, but comeon thats on an investment site. Its not like the steam description that you can let sit for months.
    But your emphasizing the COMPLETE, not launched. Not really sure what the difference is?



    So.. i ask my question again?
    For someone who has waited up till now to go through the story, should i be waiting for the final launch? Or is the Core story complete enough that i will get the majority of the intended experiance? Im asking because im going to be doing a full documented run through of the story, and i want to know exactly when its fair to do so.

    --
    Also unrelated.. any time line on Chris doing his 2 year plan yet? I got impression it would be out a few weeks roughly from when you said it would be. Any progress updates?

    “Travian Games is that partner because they really understand community and development which has allowed them to build a huge base of millions of players.”

    Very exciting news, there is no reason why SOTA cannot attract millions of players.

    I love Travian, this is great news. I played travian for 6 years as my only game.

    Here was an early win, I was wanderers in this vid at 4.55 to 5.05 blowing up my Roman army trying to steal a large artifact back in 2011. Yeah, we have about 5 or 6 victory videos each one was done to celebrate a server we crushed :D

    the music for the video was removed for copyright reasons but you can find it below...so play em both and see the Wild mash one of many servers...

    All Hail Travian!! All hail the Wild!!

    They say it is complete. In my mind that means the whole experience is there and any remaining bugs should be minor. Then again Launch has a very specific meaning to me as well. Don't expect a straight answer from these people. Decide for yourself what they are saying, how much more they might possibly complete in the next 4 months and go through it or don't.

    Blegh! That's a crappy thing to say about the people who have spent their time bringing us this great experience.

    People always decide for themselves, they don't need to be told.
    Enough people have decided the game is good enough to spend the time to test and to help improve. The millions of hours of testing are a testament to this.

    The truth is always in the data.

    So @Berek you're saying more European players. But are they European players playing on our server or are they European (African, etc.) players playing on their own servers? I mean it was pretty clear the Russian players were getting their own server.

    What happened to the one server concept?

    In reading this I hear another step forward to getting the game known around the world. What I don't hear about is a partnership that will allow more manpower for the massive amount of work still needed to release this game the best it can be released. I vote for man-power or woman-power along with any up-coming partnerships.

    I have played topless, but it's not something you'd want to see.

    @Berek Sounds like excellent news but as a European player would like to know if this means a seperate European server in future as I am currently putting in alot of effort sorting out housing and a guild. If it transpires that a switch to a European server is on the cards then I am potentially wasting both time and money at the moment. Also presumably any server transfer would transfer houses, plots etc and not just my character ?

    If many Europeans play topless, I am sure as many if not more Americans play in their underpants.

    Sorry for any visuals now implanted in your brain.

    Yes and no, travian games had some really bad times too.
    I believe in 2013 for example they had to fire like 60 employees....

    Still a good choice though for distributing SotA in Europe.

    There are no plans to have separate servers for Black Sun or Travian players.
