ATLAS Conspiracy
Ive been watching atlas streams and if wildcard was bought by the chinese. Atlas possibly it has an underlying scheme by the owners. I'm not trying to be racial it could be any big corporation out any country. i've just heard some rumours and followed some links
After the launch you could see that ark was pretty heavily conquered by the chinese. The same happened in ARK a previous release. Ark was a testing ground for Atlas the game and the scheme. in ark the people also complained and at some point the dev did do something, wiping and banning accounts. In Atlas they will not.
Atlas is not gonna work on private server maybe only for some heavy RP. but for the pvp mmo to succeed the sharred or continues worldserver has to work. so people have a use for building big boats and traveling around conquering new islands. But atlas is being and will be fully conquered by the chinese. And you think, people will just stop playing. but looking at the steam stats i say people are getting pretty addicted in this small week. so even then they will stay. because it is a addicting game if been watching the stream and its lookin pretty good.
another feature of the game is the company system basically tribes,guilds that make alliances these alliances rule the server. a system to prevent them from constantly warring like reallife is tax. Yes there's tax system. like RL u pay and u get certain privileges like not being raided/ by the alliance. I don't know what currency with or in goods and i haven't played myself but the wiki says so and i've seen some stuff about gold or maybe some other way but i say Soon (tm) they will implement a ingame currency where you can buy ingame currency with real money by which they can make real money by letting 2 groups off costumer fight against each other. being successful on two markets. People will use real life money to pay the taxes so they can basically exist in this virtual world.
and then could add more western servers , make ark free in there own region. diluting the western servers making them a bit happier about the alpha company having less influence and making them more approachable about the ingame currency, in There own region it will only grow because it free and ofcourse internet cafes.
This will make the game sustainable and alive.
All in al i loved ark despite it problems was totally worth it. And i isee the big potential in Atlas but this thought could "bring a spring upon her cable" pirate lingo is: "come around in a different direction, oftentimes as a surprise maneuver". I mean how else do MMO's make money.
