just, i don't know what to say about post 3516. Just really lol.
Who cares if you won't buy the game or you hate sam?

i lost all intrest after me going to vilege and dieing in a second because of slight lag, i lost all my intrest, nah, not coming back again

also when pk is on and in the map near of you is many players it's lagging horribly

@3523 I agree with you about statements you currently said and I think that we shoul be able to kill lions withou grenades or shotguns. Not everyone especially we who can't pay be able to risk and go to pk map and lose life just to find some grenades and shotgun shells. Also I think we apsolutelly need t have possibiliti of crafting poisoned arrows or we can make a glue by kiling wales or sommething like that

my honestly opinion in this game. i heard that new survive the wild system it isn't good when compare to previous one.
let's see for example, you can have 3000 energy why the free is 1000 it find for free account.
but when come to paid account it disadvantage i agree energy should limit.
but why is 3000 if increase to 5000 it find you know travel from map to map is cause high energy.
for instance travel from mainland to fishing village by boat it cause more than 1000 energy free account is sleeping more time.
i know this can reduce speed by many people padding at the same time but some time most player don't go for it if they don't want.
unless you have teleporter, but wait teleporter cost money so many people don't buy for traveling at one place.
since it gone after using and not worth money that much.
and this is another example why paid player in stw is likely the same free account unless item limit.
gift yes correct previous free account can get 16 per day, but not sure about paid account.
now free player can get 10 and paid account can get 20 per day.
this is sad. i agree gift should limit.
but instead why not free account can get 20 or 25 per day and paid account can get 50 or 60 per day.
you know gift it random stuff from the boxes most of the time is give useless thing for example balloon_pack clothes that you have already.
other than that few time it give useful stuff.
this is more example but i lazy to type it all and this is the true fact that i know.
sorry for is being harsh about to current stw player but true is true don't have to avoid at all.

I'd say the lag is usually based on location, and internet stability, and maybe even system in some cases. As far as I can tell, the servers network connection seems to be doing just fine, so I'm doubting it's the cause of the issue. It does really suck though, that it lags so badly, even more so because i'm not sure how much there would be we could do about that.

Fine, a bit of light on this matter. The main reason why quests now differ from paid accounts and free ones, is indeed mostly due to cheaters. Before, most if not all of them, would happaly buy coins, lighter fluids, and survival packs or bikes or so, happaly drop them, and transfer them to other accounts... If they got lucky, an admin would happaly jail them and clear their inventory if it was really bad enough. We know it's not ideal of a sollution, but for the time being... As for the spam accounts thing, I don't see the issue because password requirements also exist, you can pay to store more in any cloud etc...
As for those boosts, and all those other things, as always, we're always listening to suggestions, and if we can find a way to work it out, without stepping on 3 fourths of the players feet, we'll defenately give it a try.

The hospital has glue bottles for you to find, and maybe packages of survival gear, ... though that's also possible they don't have that. We could also, just add a few bottles in premium gifts or what not, wich is just a suggestion away more or less.

Hmm, yeah some parts of some maps might not have everything set up propperly in terms of temperatures, that's certainly something we'll look into.

Hammocks: hospital. Boomerangs, should still be on the campground. Survival packs: stw points, and or the pk map for now...

If you stay off the main road, and avoid the pharmacy and the surroundings, you should still be fine. Using the a key to check for animals, also helps.

Well, if there are still more questions, feel free to post...

again though, if "create a new character, complete quest, and transfer the items from that new character to the main account" consider as cheating, I don't really think so. for me it's up to the player, there are also those who do that because simpley wanted to trade their items for a primium account because they cannot purchase with real money. will you call  their hard work as "cheating?".
Yes I know  character will have like hundreds of bikes, stw packs whatnot, but hey, they work for it right? completing quest is not that easy afterall, even though you mostly know where the items are, you have to carefully explore the map on some quest.
again for me cheating is the way that you obtain something easyly without extra effort. but not for this case for sure.
+if you finish all of the quest, and spent all of your stw points, there is no way to reset the quest progress, so you have to purchase the stw points with credits, sooo..
not sure how much people will agree with my way of thinking though.

I don't even know why you guys bother to bring this up for discussion seeing as it is clearly stated in the rules you all agreed to prior to playing, what exactly cheating is. No one forbids you to complete quests with multiple accounts, so feel free to keep on doing that if you're in to that. However, and this goes for gifts, premium gifts, and all other items as well, if there is a limitation, you should not try and find ways around that limitation, because that is cheating. You said it yourself obtaining stuff without work is cheating, but /buy and then dropping is not working hard is it. Or picking up a gift, opening it, and then dropping the contents, not really hard either right? What's even more shocking, is you fail to see the bigger picture here: if everything would depend on players judgment, are you sure the game would still be fair. I don't know, someone with over 300000 coins and 55455 pop cans, would traid happaly till he ain't dying anymore... You want survival packs, go to the pk map and find them. You want lighter fluids, keep opening gifts till you have enough... You want coins, go to the city and find wallets. For everything is a solution, but they're usualy not seen because it involves being patient, and putting in some work to search over and over... while it's lots easyer to cheat, right? Too bad, cheating is defined, as well as the consequences...

Well, if that's the way you think, then so be it. I'm absolutely not going to cry in a corner because someone doesn't return because he's not allowed to set up an elabourate cheating scheme. Even if, lets just assume for a second, your ends would be nobel, and would only be for traiding paid items... What gives you the right to use multiple accounts to complete quests and transfer those items to your main account, while your main account is only allowed to do those quests once? Exactly, none... I'm refering to my previous post where i've explained this...

Maybe, maybe not, that's the risc wich cheating though... So just in case you were planning on doing just that, do not, and i repeat, not, complain anywhere on the forum if you suddanly find your inventory empty and your character in jail. Not reading the rules is no excuse either, just saying.

Seems pretty simple to me. If the game doesn't allow you to do something by design and you're finding ways around that, then you're cheating. Depending on what the developer of a game decides to do to handle cheating, your actions can end up having a negative impact on the game as a whole. So, just follow the rules. It hurts to see things in the changelog like, "hey cheaters, you just ruined it for you and everyone else." Granted, some of that is on Sam and how he decided to deal with the problem, but if people could just behave, nothing would have to be done.

That's the pattern with this dude's games.
