Dear players, Firstly, let us start by thanking you for taking the time and effort to raise this petition. It is obvious to us that our PTOF Community loves the game as much, if not more, as we love creating and providing it for you. We would like to start our response by stating some facts however. It needs to be remembered that we endeavour to enable the best experience in a free-to-play RTS MMO that we can creatively and financially provide. As we have studios and employees across the globe, that free model has limitations. In order to provide this game to all players, certain parameters or features within the game must have a cost value. This is not an excuse; but a statement of fact. Without making profit, we would not be able to employ the incredibly devoted employees that we do and keep the game running and growing. That being said, we’d like to take a moment to address each point within your petition. Firstly, you have stated that Daggers and Fireship have only been created for paying players and have been made unavailable for non-paying players. We don’t debate this point, and stress that this was a conscious decision on our part. Dread Fleet Units and other pay-only units are a part of the game. However, when we do introduce units or features like this, we work hard to ensure that no single one of them is by itself a game-changer. It’s a careful compromise between what will be valuable enough to purchase, and what won’t throw off the balance, so let’s dig a little deeper into these two units. The Dagger unit was primarily developed to help with farming non-active Havens. It’s virtually useless as an offensive unit against even a light defense, and that was intentional. It serves the same function as a larger number of freely units, it simply makes the process less of a hassle. The only thing needed to by a free player to get the same outcome is patience, so we’re putting a premium on the units convenience. When looking at the Fireship - yes, it
