I am for 6weeks RL = 1 in game year even at this speed you don't need to log in everyday or spend much time if that's the concern. 18 to 30 would take 1.5 year in RL, unless they have acquired immortality this is a very long time for a fighter to get to peak.   funny thing is that they keep complaining about game dying and shit but they are against the game speed increase which might attract younger players.  P.S. not trying to justify Mike for not doing jack shit about game improvements 😜

Haha I agree it is way too long. And I was also pushing for 1RL month = 1in game year myself. There was a lot of push back for that as, I believe, people couldn’t picture how that would play out - some didn’t want a change at all, others wanted a gradual increase to test the waters. I’m gauging where everyone’s at with it now after the small increase. I’ve already seen some folks who were anti speeding it up at all now change their minds and believe this is an improvement - that’s great. Hopefully it now makes it easier to convince them to jump on board speeding it up even more.    Ive noticed a lot folks just hate change - they’re comfortable with the status quo - what most are missing is that without speeding it up, the game won’t last much longer imo. At this stage I’d be happy to settle for 6weeks RL = 1 in game year — this would be twice as fast as the original speed was and 40% faster than the current speed is.

Not noticable to me Faster - 1 RL month = 1 ingame year It is 2.5 months now, so going from 18 to 30 will take 30 rl months (2.5 year), we are human not immortals, this is waaaay to long but it will never happen along with any other future update 😜
