I know i'm going to get crap for this but i'm going to be 100% honest here.
Also, i don't know if there are any secret projects SS and Owen have planned that just make this thread incorrect or anything.
I think 2014 will be the end for WIJ.
Why?
-1- Places There has being nothing new for WIJ announced, sure hex is coming but thats nothing to with WIJ, its a diffrent game. Theres no new base announcments no nothing, not even sinopia II or anything offical (by offical i mean made by the chairman and co) for what i can see WIJ metro has new no progress, hasen't being updated in forever....
-2- Events No new events or much has being announced or hinted at since the halloween one (The chrismass one was just a repaint of indigo, which was cool) WIJ always used to have events, story, building and double exp stuff!
-3- Community I don't know if this is just me but i have seen a huge dip in the respect and ability to follow WIJ rules in the group, not just new troopers but sentinals and sometimes even Highcomm staff. Some people just dissreguard the rules and nothing happens too them. I am not saying this is everyone btw.
Also (blatent honesty here guys) i have seen several members be promoted to officer ranks becuase they can shoot a gun well or are famus in some fasion, there are people i have known for over 3 years now who deserve that rank more than these trigger happy idiots.
Now thats done here ways i think you can fix some of these things.
-1- Places Announce some new thing (even if its not even being made a concept or file yet) get corus work on some promotion rubish to hype it up and get sable on building it.
-2- Events I know Highcomm are busy in RL but it can't be that hard to create a event thats being done 5/6 times with a team of people behind you.
Do some story, building and video events or a double exp weekend just to keep activity following untill that project thing i said is done.
-3- Community I don't know if this can truly be changed but filter old inactive officers out and bring some new ones in (same for colonels) Push the rules untill and don't be afraid to exile idiots who don't do there jobs.
I know some of you are thinking, why listen to this idiot who has the grammar and spelling of a 6 year old, well with 3 years of experience and lessons i think i know something, and if i don't know much i know this isn't a good time for WIJ.
Just do something and do it quickly. |

Joined WIJ 2011. Left 2014. The "Community" section is by far the most accurate.

I know that corus and sable need SS and Owen to do stuff, especially sable.
Hex has some influence on WiJ
Corus has something lined up I know that.
Sable may do not sure though.

I agree with almost everything other than "Also (blatent honesty here guys) i have seen several members be promoted to officer ranks becuase they can shoot a gun well or are famus in some fasion, there are people i have known for over 3 years now who deserve that rank more than these trigger happy idiots." I 100% do not believe this is the case.
Unfortunately I feel that a significant amount of the 'blame' lies with HICOM. I have taken a less active role in recent months due to school deadlines, exams etc but even before then I have seen that we are becoming less connected with most of the other ranks which is deeply unfortunate. We almost certainly could run events and contests but we're either busy or just, for lack of a better phrase, can't be bothered. My personal opinion is that WIJ became less fun when more structure was added to it (the mainframe, guidelines and stuff) as it took away the freedom that officers had. Back in 2011 officers would be the ones hosting events but nowadays, for whatever reason, they feel as though only colonels are able to do it. Motivation among the higher ranks has also vanished.
I'm not sure what's going to happen with WIJ but we're still going to be around for quite a while longer. |

@elliot, did you see what I said?
I agree on contests etc...
On officer front well,
1) it's done it a more fair way now with commissions 2) I agree inactive ones need to go 3) some officers don't deserve it but we can't do much to help that. |

| SS/Owen will be doing more with WIJ when HEX is done, until then don't expect anything. Corus is hard at work all the time. Just sayin' |

Well you see AA i may be wrong about that paragraph but thats how i think alot of hard working old sentinals see it, and that defintantly not good for the community,
in reguards to you saying highcomm can't be botherd sometimes, get someone who can, theres plently off choices, people like mike who make loads of battlegrounds, videos and host trainings. |

the thing about officers being promoted because of gun skills,
i see your point, there are some officers that are per say good gun fighters, but they can conduct a training appropriately and they generally are a good leader

@Fire, from what i have seen at corus (which isnt much) is that there making a map of the WIJ world.
You should give us a hint of something at the least. |

| I think the real solution would be to give officers more freedom in terms of their duties. |

| I'm not even certain what I am allowed to say, I will say we are working on some new artwork and a few lore-related things. Anything else I fear would go too far :( |
