1. Without doubt the transfer of the entire functionality of the AW Alpha World in AW Survival is our top priority. We are extremely interested in such transfer, because we understand: no features – no players – no money for us. Therefore, this work is carried out, despite the Bank`s critical lack of time.
2. About RCE. Am I right, some of our players just want to get EU clone instead AWS? Then why not just continue to play EU? Why you need AWS if there is such a great game EU with full RCE? And do you really think that EU is really a massive game? The truth about EU is that 90% of new players lose money and quit after a month or two. Only a small part (most experienced) players earn money from the game, but MA takes money from all. So, do you really want another casino? Are you all gamblers or traders?
Ok, it was just emotional digression.
Now, let`s talk more constructive.
If we speak about the possibility of earnings in the game, I can reassure you that this opportunity will be in AWS. There are several solutions how to get it, we will think about it and choose. But we want to avoid gambling in AWS. Our players must earn money by playing the game but not by playing roulette or by only staying around auction and trading. I like EVE-online game model. People earn big money in EVE by playing game, and this game is really massive. It doesn`t mean we are ready to make second EVE, it`s just a good example of the game with the ability to earn money but without gambling.
AWS will never be a EU or EVE or another game clone. Just let us finish all we planned and you will understand that EU is not the only «dream game» with the ability to earn.
3. About PvP. AWS is survival game. Why you are ready to risk with your money every time you are going to mine, craft or hunt in EU, but don`t want to risk with your stuff during your adventure around AfterWorld? For me it`s really strange. Seems you just want to stay ingame and earn profit without any risk 
. But you understand that it is impossible?
Of course, there will be safe locations and some types PVP with different degree of danger. But AfterWorld is dangerous world and you must risk to get something valuable.
We`ll try to rebalance PvP to get everyone in almost equal conditions.
And one more thing. Did you ever see computer bot in lootable PVP in any game? I didn`t. PVP defends the game and the fair players from «bot drivers». We want only live players here.
I apologise for my bad english again, I hope you understand me. And thank you all who takes part in this discussion.
Hello from myself too.
I have been carefully reading ALL the discussions before the "crysis" appeared.
Firstly, what I have seen so far and it is my opinion also is that players still stay for mainly one reason.
The possibility of this game to incorporate RCE functionality. and ofc I am not refering to EU type of management the ingame economy, but something different that AWA was providing us.
Free economy! I believe that many players will want to participate on the decisions of how AWS will exploit the term RCE and provide with nice ideas that will make everyone happy, and most important for DL to keep up with AWS.
You must also understand that no player would invest >?Keuros for a game!!! with 1K euros you can play the best games existing in market for years (WoW is 13euros/month)!!! So the size of donations was mainly based on the initial statement of DL that AWA would be an RCE game! So no RCE functionality, old players leave the game!
If you take the marketing perspective there are so many games under development at this moment, based all on RCE functionality, that will turn the on-line entertainment to something different.
Second, the so well discussed PvP functionality, is something that initially was not important for AWA. AWA was mainly interesting for ppl, for the content it provided and in my opinion the very advanced crafting! Although it makes it very time consuming to craft something @ high lvl, it made it very interesting interesting at the same time!
Noone was interested in PvP, except the LoD where ppl had something to gain from PvP, and I am not talking about personal items. It was a challenge to fight for noobots and gain some from that.
To finalize, I think that all the above have been extensively discussed in this forums and that players request a step backwards that will bring them closer to what they were offered by AWA.
I am looking forward on the development of AWS and the future it is preparing for its players!
Best regards,
Sifis
