I was going to come here and talk about the quest line and final prize....then I saw the hate. Sure players have right to share their opinion---but that doesn't mean everyone has to read it without using that same free speech to disagree with them. And of course most of the hate is simply trolling.
Bravo to Inno.
MLK has a federal holiday and no one is asking players to celebrate him anymore than they ask you to celebrate easter, halloween, or the portraits of elvis or other celebs. It is not being pc.....there is nothing politically correct about the event. It changes nothing in the game. It merely gives you his portrait and a previously awarded item at the end. Don't like easter or valentines day or halloween? Don't participate in the event. You can choose to ignore the event and not participate in it. An atheists can ignore easter events and doesn't have to build churches in their town. Smoking and alcohol (wine) against your religion don't makes them in your town.
Inno isn't asking any of us permission to run the event--it is already ongoing.
Inno seeing negative comments probably makes them feel glad they had the event. We don't game in a bubble. Everything about a game stemmed in history deals with real world people and events.
I also like that they are running more events. I would like it to be where there is always an event going and players pick and choose which to participate in since only daily hardcore diamond players would be able to do them all and finish them. I like choices. I like events. They are for regular players like most of us.
On a quest note-----the king statue as a prize for an event that requires players to gather and spend goods for 3 sectors and 1 tech as well as scout and build seems kinda weak....especially since it is a current prize that many people already have 1 or more in their cities.
I put my money where my mouth is and on some of my worlds I am skipping it and prepping for valentines day event. I completed it on one, ongoing on another 2, and skipped on the rest.
Also...thanks to those who know this is not just a game it is a community. I have friends I met here and talk to off the game. Thanks for speaking out against hate. You guys mskr this community and the guilds fun. People who realize there are real people playing this on the other end. People that chat and said happy new year and happy birthdays. Breathe life into the game. Otherwise just have a game with no player interaction and everyone merely deals with computer Ai npcs that run around attcking and defending.
