Let me explain again. With the introduction of the lobby fee, there was indeed a massive (but far from complete!) exodus of players to HotA.

What makes you think these things are related? As far as I know, HotA is a whole group of developers, not just one Baratorch (although I might be wrong, I'm not insisting). Or maybe you've learned to read Baratorch's mind?
It's all speculation, while I have facts.

:smile54: And what makes you think that the main exodus of players happened precisely because of the paid lobby?) Facts, you say:D The vast majority of players I know, with whom I've been playing since the game's release, didn't switch because of the 180 rubles a month; this amount can hardly be considered a problem for even a small percentage of people. A pack of cigarettes costs almost as much:D For newcomers, of course, the choice of whether to pay or not has a stronger influence. But most old players, I'm sure, didn't switch for this reason.
And even for newcomers, the paid/free aspect has less influence than what they see from streamers, who are now mainly playing HotA...
