I wanted the hardest competitivity and I have founded a boring situation. It seems that GKO only have interest in thai users.
In the way a look at it, some countries like the game, others found it boring. I mean, Germany is a country with a huge love for the game, with a solid economy and it didn't worked there.
I don't know each asiatic reality, but some countries with a decent reputation in the game (such as South Korea or Japan) are weak countries here, and China or Thailand are the strongest countries here. When you compare them, Thailand has around 70 million people, and Japan is aroud 10 million, how can the game go so well in Thailand, and so badly in Japan? I don't find a reason...
Or maybe there is a reason: their people liked it, and they spreaded the word!
At least that's what happened in Argentina: I'm sure that if the GKO staff would like to have a very active coutry in south america, it wouldn't be Argentina.... my country has around 40 million people, and our economy is poor... when you compare it with other south american countries: Brazil (200 million people), Chile (20 million) or Colombia (47 million) have a stronger economy than us! The biggest south american community should be Brazil, but it's not like that!
Did something made the difference? Probably our user database, the people spreaded the word in other online games, we help eachother in chat room.... our community is interesting, i'm sure it should be stronger, but we don't stop growing and that's a good thing
