Some heavy concerns as a new player

[RexXxuS]

Hey and welcome

@Tompos

had no idea of rules or extra features obviously

Ok… but you read them afterwards I assume…
Tip: HWS Video Tutorials

@Tompos

is this actually for real?

Here we go again. I recommend to use the forum search to get a bigger picture of already happened flame wars.
Also read the new donation rework coming into place with 01.02.2017 and 6.0:

HWS 5.1 important big announcement!

Hey @everyone, as you maybe have read: 5.1 coming moost likely in few hours. This is not just a minor patch, this is to be honest a huge patch - if not deserves a major release. Anyways I will cover some very important topics in this announcement so please make sure to read them all! Blueprint Class limit Thanks again to @tomcat, @Xanif, @Mordgier and all the others testing 5.1 on our HWS Nova Test Server! The main problem is still present but some very good outcomes were made and a lot of fee…

To talk about the gameplay / your competitive thing you mention:
Maybe you missed one important thing at the top of the donation page so let me post it for you here:

donations are completely voluntary and doing so don’t give you special abilities or even the right to bend rules more than others

This means that competitive or not everything is covered by our rules. Keeping some things after a full wipe is a very nice thing, yes. But that also means people played in this alpha game for couple of saisons which helped us to find bugs, feedback and co. So it is a way of saying thank you because the further the game progress the more stable the game will become - with the feedback of those saison hoppers.

It might come the time where we only full wipe once per year?
In one year you maybe have 77 trillion credits in your bank and falling back to 70m is a joke too? The price of the marketplace would also always reflect the current value of people money.

What I mean with this is that we also consider the overall gold amount in our universe layouts and till now, with quite a lot of competitive players on NA with infiltrations and what not we never had your described concerns.

@Tompos

We could singlehandedly ruin your entire server if we had bad intentions

This for example would be in conflict with our rules

Summary: as soon as you enter HWS you enter a big, friendly, helpful, respectful community. Any way you cause damage to these principles can be punished.

Now as I stated at the beginning: it is up to you if you want to support the server or not but pay 2 win is really something I have two eyes on and since almost one year everything was fine.
Yes we make now the biggest donation rework because the game changed too much but always try to make running 3 monster servers financial possible but provide fun for players too.

I hope I could explain everything to you.

Anyways - have fun.
