Yes - this makes it so that if you are inactive, you dont get the benefits the actives do... has and will be this way
i think good, too...

The % was supposed to be a suprise but I will give it away...
The seller gets 5%.
The remaining DMU goes to accounts active within last few days... spread evenly. It does not just disappear...(damn socialist weapons!)
Shooting Star wrote:The DMU dispersion seems a little suspect to me, I guess we shall see what the "percentage" is.
...
Could you explain this dispersion of the auction money? I would like to know.
Actually it is for the newly ascended, not those who quick ascended. There are still people ascended 1st time now, still people just starting main now, that hope to ascend in 5 months, etc... The ones who are weak due to other reasons are not the target here, but for better or worse are in the same boat, so get the same rules...
Shooting Star wrote:Lastly, I would like to know why we are coddling the people who just use ascension as a means to power in main and don't play, .... You didn't play the server? Shame on you. Why should you get help now?
There are certainly 2 camps on this one
The 50% is a compromise, and can be looked at periodically.
Shooting Star wrote:I ask Forum to return ascension to what it was meant to be. Those who wanted a different challenge than main was providing. If you don't play ascension, you don't get bonuses in main. It's that simple. Your ascended self can't help you if he/she/it is on vacation.
Not ready to go there yet. I see 2 (or more) sides to this suggestion. And guaranteed I will get flooded with 'unfair' cries, although I cannot say right now how many 'camps' would cry, or the various reasons they will say it is unfair. But i guarantee it'll be VERY contriversial...
Also - I dislike "undoable" descisions, since everyone, eventually, changes their mind. Or rules change, or updates come in, that change the reasoning/logic/descision criteria previously taken...
What I do plan, though, is an increase to 20 max ascends with the 11-20 being much costlier than 1-10.... details not yet determined...
Shooting Star wrote:I also have a suggestion for you. Allow those of us who have stopped ascending to use our massive resources in ascension to help better our main accounts. Here is what I mean: everyone in ascension is given the opportunity to use their ascended resources to both help their ascension account but also for certain benefits in main, if they so choose. But it is a one-way street. Once you have decided to help your main account, you may never ascend again. That would put the kibosh on people using their ascension accounts to better their main accounts in order to ascend with a huge amount of APP and thus turning it into a feeding frenzy. This would have two effects: first of all, it would allow those who are below us to catch up in ascension, if they have the drive and determination to do so and secondly, it would benefit those of us who committed a large amount of our resources in main to furthering our ascension accounts. We would have the choice to slow our growth in ascension for benefits in main. An idea that I find attractive would be the ability to buy powercells, much like was available in the quantum server (don't know if they still are as I have not played Quantum since it became "Who can spend the most cash?"). These can be purchased with DMU. You also might think about allowing us to transfer some of our planet growth ability to our main UP. This would slow down growth further in ascension for those that choose this option and allow others to catch up with us, again, if they have the drive and determination to do so. These solutions will help people catch up far more quickly than what you are suggesting. If those who chose not to sacrifice their main accounts to do huge ascensions want to catch up, give us the option of "sacrificing" our ascension accounts by not ascending again and using our ascension accounts to help out our main accounts. Believe you me, I would allow people to catch up to me in ascension if it meant that I could help my main account some.
To drop to the 2AT/turn area I'd have to get rid of another stat entirely. Now I would bet I can get away with having no assassin as no one outside of the CoP can spy me, but it's the principle of things. You don't go assassinless. You just don't.
