While it does add an element of the game back, I feel for casual players such as myself that have limited time to play, that it adds a level of stress that wasn’t there previously. One of the main features of this server and the main reason I come to play here is the stress free environment of not having to worry about decay and being able to play freely with limitless imagination/creativity etc (to a point). I can see both arguments though and do agree that seeing less abandoned buildings is nice, but as far as lag is concerned, I struggle to maintain any sort of playable game even with a top tier machine in areas that have massive buildings etc.
Decay has its benefits, but it also is a huge disadvantage to the player base that are casuals such as myself. I have played scourge when I had way more time, and I liked that base decay was featured. It’s a different animal to pure and one that I could manage if I had more time. Unfortunately with kids in the mix now, I can’t see myself ever having the time. So I’ve come back to the staple of pure.
