They still working on updates, even though they cant push them, because this is the field of dreams (like p99 is also).

They could have easily created this project legit without hurting the community (Don't use the steam client) and probably received plenty of unsolicited donations still. On proving the concept who knows they could have taken it to DBG and collaborated but they chose to do it the retarded way and get clapped for it.

You shill and seethe for grifters Shovel and it's sad.

I remember their EoM premium currency thing (1 dollar = 1 EoM) and looking at the math of how much it cost to keep those server buffs running and how they were constantly refreshed while I played there... It seemed like a lot of money.


There was like 5 different buffs and they costed various amounts of EoM for so many hours. I don't remember the exact values, but one was at least 20 EoM for lets say 4 hours. Maintaining that desirable buff 24 hours would cost $120 a day, and there was about another 4 that were something like 5 EoM for however long. So make that another 120 a day to keep the other buffs going. 240 x 365 = 87,600.


I don't know how much a server costs to maintain. I'm guessing less than that.

I looked it up to try to turn on a buff once and was like LOL no friggen way im spending that kind of money it was like 30$ for 1 buff XD

Whoever turns those on must be what are known as "whales" and just dump hundreds of dollars into it.

I always thought it was funny because if those whales left, and those buffs were not ever on. Id go to the THJ devs house and force them to turn them on permanently.
