Still not confirmed by anyone, just an assumption made by someone.
You'll find that it's actually deductive reasoning based on the given evidence.
If OTM developed CH as an mmorpg with a predominant pvp element, then they have failed quite badly. If, in the other hand, they developed the game as a mostly non pvp mmorpg then they have succeeded incredibly well.
From this it's a fairly straight forward deduction to say that OTM did not develop CH to have a large pvp element to the gameplay.
Just assumptions.
Read the first word in the title... yep the whole point of the thread is its just an
idea. Chill out with the boring "too much effort would detract from other areas of development" or "if you want a better experience then you need to look at other mmorpgs". Look at fishing... its a dead content (ye i made an assumption but i can admit to that
), they wasted so much development time in that (and most players cant even be bothered to fish or got bored of it fast) when they could have maybe improved some of the content thats already in game... like i dont know maybe pvp?
Nothing worse than when someone suggests an idea to improve something in game then someone else who thinks hes entitled comes barging in telling that person to look for another game instead.
Virtually the entire world is pve. There is one very small part of one zone for dueling and about 3/4 of one very small zone for open pvp. There are no pvp servers. These are facts. Therefore the fact is this is very predominately a pve game with a small pvp element. This is not a pvp game. To suggest that the developers therefore chose to create a pvp mmorpg is beyond ridiculous, so to say they have chosen to develop a pve mmorpg requires no assumption.
As far as the 'boring argument', unfortunately it's very valid.
OTM created a pve mmorpg and in doing so created a very fine, well crafted mobile version of that genre. Arguably amongst the best mobile mmorpgs, despite some of the flaws and issues cause by very limited resources inherent from a small indie company. In order to maintain and strengthen their market position, they need to keep doing the things that got them into that position in the first place. Namely developing and expanding on the pve mmorpg gameplay. To try and diversify with such limited resources would be hugely risky.
OK, so the pvp side could be improved, but any development should be limited to minor enhancements. Maybe OTM will grow so that they can put more effort in expanding the pvp side without neglecting the core of the game in future, but until then keeping the core gameplay growing needs to be the continued focus.
You wouldn't expect someone to join a tennis club with a dozen all weather courts and then ask the owner if he would remove the net from one of them and put in a pair of five a-side nets instead so they can play football occasionally. They would quite rightly told to go to a sports centre that has five a-side pitches. So why should it be different for a computer game?
