First Leader's Proclamation (February 2012)
Hello. I've never done it before, but I want to praise and criticize a few things in ~eW`~>CLAN and Empire Earth II.
I'm probably person who knows the most information about EE2 life, problems, gossip right now.
As first I wanna praise ~eW` and ~eWA` that you guys are still active, for almost 2 years. ~eW` clan is one of the most functional clans in Empire Earth II history. I'm very proud that our team is still strong and active. In this year I didn't notice any big problems between clan members (except case between xoxo and comySS), but it looks solved for now. That mean our members are very friendly to each others. That's good side of functional clan. I noted some cocky behaviors at our members, some excuses but it's normal thing of everyone EE2 player, and I'm not going to write about it in this proclamation.
Enough about our clan, time to talk about forum: For almost 2 years ~eW`~>FORUM is the most popular and visited by players forum.
There was no better forum of any clan. I'm trying to keep forum always updated, I'm adding new things etc. The best thing at this forum is warnings system. For year moderators gave: 71 warnings to random forum users. We are giving warnings only for big reason (spam, insult). It shows how active forum is. Actually we have over 16477 posts and 165 registred forum users. I don't tolerate spam, and all posts are "smart". We don't use "count to 1000" fun topics. Every post is valuable and important. But all users know how good this forum is, that's why we keep getting new users. Enough about ~eW`~>FORUM time to talk about really important problems on EE2.
First thing what I want to say is "glitch". Since ee2glitchers.ace.st forum has been created - glitch at players is ~90% lower. I was already talking, that only old-school players used glitch in last months (when they back on EE2) it is LordSilverBow, =FBI=Ninja, etc: http://forum.ee2.eu/t1157-wondering-about-old-players-and-glitching-in-years-2006-2009
That's good signal, it means players are having fun, and they are not cheating, glitching, etc. Another important thing we did (if I good remember over 1 year ago) is legalisation of Scout Glitch (actually called just "trick"). It was very important Amendig Act, which helped us to stop real glitching between players. If anyone wants to check Amending Acts, then here: http://forum.ee2.eu/t923-amending-acts
Another important thing is Unofficial Patch 1.3 for Empire Earth II (and 1.1 for EE2 AOS). This patch allowed players from random versions of EE2 to connect and allowed us to play together. It was very big thing to keep EE2 alive. And actually it works. Empire Earth II is ~80% more active than in last year. Shocked EE2 players statistic since 30 of December 2011 to 30 of January 2012 you can check in this topic: http://www.forum.ee2.eu/t1356-shocked-ee2-players-statistic-since-30-of-december-2011-to-30-of-january-2012
Patch 1.3 added 1600x900 resolution for Empire Earth II, so some players with widescreen monitors can use new, better resolution. To Patch 1.3 we have to count IRC Bot installed on all EE2 channels. Bot allows us to check really much things from EE2 lobby. For example you can check time in every city in the world. You can translate text to every language. You can check forecast for your city, and much more. For more information you can check topic: http://forum.ee2.eu/t1253-ee2-patch13-bot-for-empire-earth-ii-lobby
We can't forget about EE2SA - Empre Earth II Security Act and GBSA Government Banning System Agreement. It was very controversial Agreeements, at least accepted in little undemocratic manner. I want to apologize all players. It's was our biggest fault in EE2 Government history. We totaly forgot about democtatic polls, to listen everyone's opinion about it. Problem, that Acts had to be accepted very quickly, because of some problems on EE2. Anyway acts aren't dangerous for any player, and there is no reason to care about it that much.
I forgot about one important thing - Leaderboard has been repaired: http://forum.ee2.eu/t1233-empire-earth-ii-leaderboard-has-been-repaired after ~6 years of inactivity. It was very good thing which helped to do Empire Earth II more active.
Problems on EE2?
There are same problems like every year. Players are having random characters, and sometimes we can't accept theirs behavior. But please remember - everyone is human and deserve to be treated as human. That's why we don't tolerate any violence on EE2. Players which insutling other players usually getting kicked out of lobby. Usually they change behavior, if not then we're sending case to Ministry of Justice on ~eW`~>FORUM. Anyway players Empire Earth II lobby, chats has high level of culture. People in our community are smart, nice. There is just some problematic players, but it's totaly normal.
What's the biggest problem of Empire Earth II right now?
The biggest problem is that players can't host normal game fast. We are wasting more than 50% of all time on the game lobby waiting for game. Most of players are bad hosters, and they don't know how to host good game. For example some players kicking one player out of game, just "for fun". Then all other players have to wait another minutes when game start. It's really annoying thing, and we should work to change it.
Another problem is, that some players doesn't listen to other. When you're trying to explain something, they're ignoring you or they're spamming lobby with random text. It's not nice thing for everyone. We can't do anything to stop it, just hope some people will understand what they're doing wrong in the future.
There is a lot of other cases we should talk about, but in my proclamation it's enough for now.
In my opinion Empire Earth II government is working very well, especially: Deus - Minister of EE2 History and oldschool players, and Matty: Ministr of Justice. Of course there is much more important players which trying to help us. For example xoxodu, who informed about Patch 1.3 really many players, and all others which ever sent link to the Patch 1.3 when someone new needed it.
Thanks for everyone who's helping in government, and to everyone who's just playing EE2. Remember - we're creating history of this game.
Best regards
