Happy birthday Tfm!

It breaks my heart to read this news, but we're here to help you through it ♥

Happy Birthday!
But I really wanna to say that it's sad. And this game has changed a lot. Not in a good way for me. It was pretty game. You can call it simple in some way...but u know, this game that existed till u added this superpowers for shamans, it wasn't borring or "so simple". It was interesting to compete with other players, to play on events, to play minigames. Not this card games... Where is baffbot? What the hell are shops? No. Really? Is it MMO or something? Events with no possibilities to have some things WITHOUT sellers? It makes me so sad
There is no way to take it as a Transformice. It's an other now...
It's just my opinion (and I sorry for my Eng).
But I think it's gonna be a lot better if you will not change gameplay anymore. Just add some events.

This is an excellent point. It’s what I tried to explain in my post, we added so many things to Transformice that it’s barely the same game as in 2010 anymore. Most of people would suggest “maybe add this, and that” to make the game better, but the truth is that the game would be better if we actually removed some features. This is why we tried to remove skills from Vanilla over Christmas.
But as this experiment showed, people are not ready for feature removal, which is understandable. We can’t add anything, but we can’t go back either. It’s a bit of a stuck situation.

Honestly, thank you!
You don't know how much it means for me as a player to finally read the truth instead of nothing and lies of the game. It is heartbreaking for me that the game is undergoing serious player drainage and money problems, but I do hope that Atelier801 will be successful again. Speaking with the players like this is a step towards the game's revival and I'm wishing the best for the company.
Whatever happens, I am glad to be part of this community and be part of both Transformice and Dead Maze.
Both games are amazing and have their own aspects that make them interesting and addicting. I'm sorry that they aren't bringing the revenue that they should but I will, for sure continue to support the company as long as it's here with us.

It's hard to say ideas when I clearly have no idea how much each thing costs and how much money would you save with them, but for budget cut ideas, I can only suggest that you remove Fortoresse, Bouboum and Nekodancer. Hardly anyone plays these games anymore and although it would be hard to just erase all the progress of players, these games never brought any revenue for Atelier801. I, personally, love Nekodancer but wouldn't really mind if my progress was erased in order to save a whole company. Besides, there are loads of other games with the same mechanic of these three games.

As for Transformice, I'm not sure if these would make you profit in any way, but you should remove the election system. It's useless and often creates unneccessary drama.
The advertisement system, that I believe is only working in France now, should be remastered, so it works everywhere else in the world. I know that the current ad company you are pairing with only shows ads in France, but maybe you should try another company to help you with this? For free fraises, everyone would watch advertisements, so it's kind of a bad decision to not do anything with the ad system.

And I have already mentioned this a few months ago, but if you can't make new events, you should try making the old ones more interesting for old players. The calendar is useless if it's being used like how it is now. You should add fun little challenges to complete for the old events. Oh, and calendar point titles would be great motivation too to get old players log in again and complete adventures.

I don't know if any of these is possible to do for you, but I'm really thankful that you created this post and told us everything that's going behind the scenes. Thank you!

Happy birthday, Transformice! Here's to many more.
