Thoughts about the World War Two Online Naval Game

I've been thinking a lot over the past few months about the Naval game of World War Two Online. Why is it there? Why is it like it is? Why doesn't it go forward? Why doesn't it go backwards? And many more questions. Tonight I figured, "hey, I got a blog, why not write my thoughts up," so here they are!

First of all the Naval game is there as such, in the game, for the obvious fact that when creating a game about World War Two it's very hard to ignore the Navy should there be water in the game. Therefore CRS had to add the Navy. I suppose when the waters were added, not many people played; they were looking for an FPS, which I believe the game was like when it first started. However, as the game evolved and HC were introduced people saw strategies evolving, and more hit the waters. There were of course those die hard Naval players who, from the word go, played Navy, and they deserve credit. Sailing those FMB's all day would have bored the hell out of me....then again I sail Destroyers all day and love it; I suppose you make do with what you've got. The Destroyer was added with the Freighter because it's one of the only things that the makers of the game (CRS) thought was "small enough" for the game but big enough to kill the freighter I guess. Mind you, why did no-one think of the torpedo boat....! So that's how we got to the Navy today I guess.

Why is it going forwards not backwards? The players. With the poor excuses and BS that CRS give us about "new stuff" for the Navy, when in fact we get no lubbin what so ever, it's the players in the end who stick together, use what we have, and make fun in any situation! The new and the old guys just love sailing around kicking the enemies butt! And that's what makes the Navy unique. No other branch are as close as the RN/MN are, purely because of our low numbers. So where are low numbers are our disadvantage they're also our advantage....very confusing!

With the small numbers= nowhere near as much money for CRS= no Naval lubbin, basically that can be translated into "The RATS don't give the Navy lubbin because they say we have no numbers; the Navies have no numbers because the RATS don't give us lubbin."

And so I leave you to ponder those thoughts, and I need to regroup mine. Will post again soon,

S!
