EasyPar - The FutureDear EasyPar Fans,
First I must appologise for the lack of information over the last few weeks. There is of course a lot of reasons but no excuses.
Over the last few months EasyPar was getting harder and harder to manage based on various problems like
-Disjointed code that was very hard to maintain
-An unstable database solution
-Badly written code and database structures
-Complicated features that is not adding value to the game.
During the last few months I looked at making changes to these areas without affecting the game, without success, as it just increased the mess already created by the complicated code. The game was also stagnating, as it became impossible to change anything, due to the complexity. As a result the game was taken off-line, and information got transferred to the new SQL database now active and operational, still with a few problems. However, a lot of the code is being re-written to simplify EasyPar, and it will be a few weeks still before we will see the first tournament running again. In the end I want to break away from the Hattrick mould and make EasyPar a game of Tactics, not Cash. I want success in Easypar to be based on the following in order of importance,
1) Tactics
2) Fatique management
3) Form
4) Skill
5) Experience
And an important aspect should be that through fine tuning of the Tournament Program, players who change their tactics to match their form will be the most consistent on tour.
I hope you will stick with EasyPar for a tiny bit longer and even help over the next few weeks to design some of the courses we will be playing on in future. This is an interresting new feature which should make EasyPar a lot more interresting.
Kind Regards
TD
