    Post Unity players poll / intentions

    I would like to submit a sort of questionnaire for the (former) Unity players, maybe it might turn into something informative for the new developers.
    It comes with some questions, you must check only one answer unless told the opposite. At the end of the post, there's my own "opinion".

    Main character name:
    (type here your main character name)
    I am playing / played Horizons (or at least paid a subscription) since:
    [ ] 1 year
    [ ] 2 years
    [ ] more than 2 years

    I had:
    [ ] 1 account
    [ ] 2 accounts
    [ ] more than 2 accounts

    I play(ed) (check all that apply):
    [ ] one or more dragons
    [ ] one or more "bipeds" (can't find a better term)

    If I had to play on a US server, I'd like to pay via
    [ ] Credit card
    [ ] Paypal
    [ ] Other (maybe add a description)

    I'd play again only if (from highest requirements to lowest):
    or "I will NOT play at all if the following does not happen:"
    [ ] I play already, on Chaos or Order and am fine with that
    [ ] Unity was "revived", and only in Europe (basically like it had been in the past years)
    [ ] Unity was moved / copied / whatever in the USA
    [ ] Unity characters were copied on a totally new and "virgin" server, with Novians for the "lost" plots and plot money value "refunded".
    [ ] Unity characters were copied on Chaos / Order, with Novians for the "lost" plots and plot money value "refunded".
    [ ] Unity characters were copied on Chaos / Order, even if it reveals to be impossible to save the plot / Novians.

    While Unity data is still there, GN vs the new owners lack of agreements might force the new owners to restore from the some months old data EI copied from GN instead from the latest and "live" database.
    [ ] I am fine, I'd still want to play even if my character is restored with some months of missed "progress".
    [ ] I am not fine, it's the latest Unity data and character or I won't play again.

    What kind of sub(s) would you probably go for (no, I am not nosy, just trying to give the new owners a perspective):
    [ ] I won't tell, it's my business
    [ ] Monthly subscription
    [ ] 6 months subscription
    [ ] Yearly subscription

    Do you own Vista and would like to play with it?
    [ ] Yes and will only play again if it runs on Vista
    [ ] Yes, but I'll be fine tweaking files to make it work on Vista like now until they make a compatible client
    [ ] No

    Would you tell your friends, and probably come back in several players at once?
    [ ] No, I will come back alone
    [ ] I will tell to my friends / relatives but am not sure they'll come back
    [ ] I will tell to my friends / relatives and am sure some will come back

    Would you like that an e-mail to the former players would be sent so that they are made aware of the new game company?
    [ ] No, word of mouth is the way
    [ ] No, they should advertise the game instead
    [ ] No, privacy issues come first
    [ ] Yes
    [ ] Yes, and they should advertise the game as well

    Do you have an optimistic feeling about the new course?
    [ ] Yes, I'd even pay more as "support" if they add a "donate" button somewhere
    [ ] Yes
    [ ] No
    [ ] Too little, too late
    [ ] Their possible fee increase turned me off

    P.S. in case the game owners want to "borrow" and extend from this, for any use, feel free to copy and paste!
    P.S. sorry for my poor English, in my country they barely teach it.

    Main character name: Ariadne (on Unity) Arietna (on Chaos)

    I am playing / played Horizons (or at least paid a subscription) since: more than 2 years

    I had: more than 2 accounts

    I play(ed) (check all that apply):
    one dragon
    two "bipeds" played regularly


    If I had to play on a US server, I'd like to pay via
    any way I can get the money to Virtrium safely! (credit card, paypal are both fine)

    I'd play again only if (from highest requirements to lowest):
    or "I will NOT play at all if the following does not happen:"
    I play already, on Chaos or Order and am fine with that

    but I'd LIKE

    Unity characters were copied on a totally new and "virgin" server, with Novians for the "lost" plots and plot money value "refunded".

    AND

    for existing Chaos/Order characters to be able to be transferred to this new server.

    While Unity data is still there, GN vs the new owners lack of agreements might force the new owners to restore from the some months old data EI copied from GN instead from the latest and "live" database.
    I am fine, I'd still want to play even if my character is restored with some months of missed "progress".


    What kind of sub(s) would you probably go for (no, I am not nosy, just trying to give the new owners a perspective):
    6 months subscription

    I keep playing when those Exploiters will be banned again on Chaos. As long as they're in game our game is doomed.
    Also, I quit forever is something doesn't happen soon. And I'm sure with me more. (Imagine what happens if there is a plot reclaimation and some folks with exploited dirty Mithril coins start bidding....)

    [x] Unity characters were copied on a totally new and "virgin" server, with Novians for the "lost" plots and plot money value "refunded".

    I miss the possibility here to choose:
    [x] I could live with being copied to chaos/order if they made a big 'Unity-island' there, and copied all plots and lairs of interested players as-is to that island (and if that island would really be a 'small world', so including resources [mixed tiers, plz, try to capture pre-merger feel again!] and all: not a Shepards Mountain-kind of almost dead-feel layered island, but a 'lesser-aradoth' kind of variated, living-feel island; at least that size too).

    [ ] Unity characters were copied on Chaos / Order, with Novians for the "lost" plots and plot money value "refunded". (definately not, no chance to all get same size plots back)
    [ ] Unity characters were copied on Chaos / Order, even if it reveals to be impossible to save the plot / Novians. (definately not)

    [x] I am fine, I'd still want to play even if my character is restored with some months of missed "progress".
    ( We all knéw that these last months were not being recorded to copy later... this means some will even NOT like to have a 'newer copy' then they counted on: some have done silly things with characters, plots etc in those last months, because 'it doesn't matter anymore what we do now so let's experiment wildly'... so I would not go for 'the newest' if I were the devs! )

    If there was an arrangement for original plot/lair owners to re-purchase their plots/lairs first if desired. A general agreement amongst players backed up by GM support if necessary for the first week would suffice.

    I miss the possibility here to choose:
    [X] I could live with being copied to chaos/order if they made a big 'Unity-island' there, and copied all plots and lairs of interested players as-is to that island (and if that island would really be a 'small world', so including resources [mixed tiers, plz, try to capture pre-merger feel again!] and all: not a Shepards Mountain-kind of almost dead-feel layered island, but a 'lesser-aradoth' kind of variated, living-feel island; at least that size too). (see http://community.istaria.com/forum/s...43&postcount=7
    and following post for some first idea's on that)
    I'd support this idea as an acceptable alternative, if the financial cost of a new server is prohibitive.

    [ ] Unity characters were copied on Chaos / Order, with Novians for the "lost" plots and plot money value "refunded".

    Main character name: Sigismund Piep

    I am playing / played Horizons (or at least paid a subscription) since:
    [ ] 1 year
    [ ] 2 years
    [x] more than 2 years

    I had:
    [x] 1 account
    [ ] 2 accounts
    [ ] more than 2 accounts

    I play(ed) (check all that apply):
    [x] one or more dragons
    [x] one or more "bipeds" (can't find a better term)

    If I had to play on a US server, I'd like to pay via
    [x] Credit card
    [ ] Paypal
    [ ] Other (maybe add a description)

    I'd play again only if (from highest requirements to lowest):
    or "I will NOT play at all if the following does not happen:"
    [ ] I play already, on Chaos or Order and am fine with that
    [ ] Unity was "revived", and only in Europe (basically like it had been in the past years)
    [1] Unity was moved / copied / whatever in the USA
    [2] Unity characters were copied on a totally new and "virgin" server, with Novians for the "lost" plots and plot money value "refunded".
    [3] Unity characters were copied on Chaos / Order, with Novians for the "lost" plots and plot money value "refunded".
    [4] Unity characters were copied on Chaos / Order, even if it reveals to be impossible to save the plot / Novians.

    While Unity data is still there, GN vs the new owners lack of agreements might force the new owners to restore from the some months old data EI copied from GN instead from the latest and "live" database.
    [x] I am fine, I'd still want to play even if my character is restored with some months of missed "progress".
    [ ] I am not fine, it's the latest Unity data and character or I won't play again.

    What kind of sub(s) would you probably go for (no, I am not nosy, just trying to give the new owners a perspective):
    [ ] I won't tell, it's my business
    [ ] Monthly subscription
    [x] 6 months subscription
    [ ] Yearly subscription

    Do you own Vista and would like to play with it?
    [ ] Yes and will only play again if it runs on Vista
    [ ] Yes, but I'll be fine tweaking files to make it work on Vista like now until they make a compatible client
    [x] No

    Would you tell your friends, and probably come back in several players at once?
    [ ] No, I will come back alone
    [x] I will tell to my friends / relatives but am not sure they'll come back
    [ ] I will tell to my friends / relatives and am sure some will come back

    Would you like that an e-mail to the former players would be sent so that they are made aware of the new game company?
    [x] No, word of mouth is the way
    [ ] No, they should advertise the game instead
    [ ] No, privacy issues come first
    [ ] Yes
    [ ] Yes, and they should advertise the game as well

    Do you have an optimistic feeling about the new course?
    [ ] Yes, I'd even pay more as "support" if they add a "donate" button somewhere
    [x] Yes
    [ ] No
    [ ] Too little, too late
    [ ] Their possible fee increase turned me off

    Hurray! Mor
    rison is back at his house near Bristugo!
    And the wisps on wis
    p isle are moving again!

    I had:
    [X] 1 account ...but I was seriously pondering to get another one just before GN announcement... :-x
    [ ] 2 accounts
    [ ] more than 2 accounts

    I play(ed) (check all that apply):
    [X] one or more dragons

    or "I will NOT play at all if the following does not happen:"
    [X] I play already, on Chaos or Order and am fine with that

    but I would immediatly take another subscription if
    [1] Unity was moved / copied / whatever in the USA I want my lair!
    [2] Unity characters were copied on Chaos / Order, with Novians for the "lost" plots and plot money value "refunded".
    [3] Unity characters were copied on Chaos / Order, even if it reveals to be impossible to save the plot / Novians.

    I don't like the idea of a virgin server... or maybe only if previous owners could be assured to get the plots/lairs back; but I don't see any advantage with this solution... a plot reclamation would be enough to free the plots/lairs without paying owners.

    [X] No but it should be a high priority for Virtrium to make Horizons compatible with Vista

    Nice questionnaire, but although I am a former Unity player it mostly doesn't apply to me. I am already in LotRO; and Warhammer is coming up next year. The prospects of playing Horizons again are exceedingly dim, so in the current situation I would need to answer: [x] No, I'm not coming back. The game's languished far too long (one year is long in MMO time) without active development. Significant improvements would be necessary for me to reconsider.
