Actually I believe it can be done in a few weeks if you have support. No amount of stat switching around and changing will change that fact. I have an idea that could stop it though. I am debating whether I should put the idea out there because it could seriously piss some people off. I am going to discuss it over with my alliance first and see if it is viable to even mention.

No matter what, even if you do it **Filtered** style, it's gonna take some building up to do... The support would need to be.. substantial.. and the time the recipient spend building up to recieve that support would also be substantial.

Re: Regarding Ascension to Main

Well in my opinion, it would take a week or 2 to get your UP and MS tech high enough to start taking in Trillions in transfer. and would grow as you put all those UU into MS. Give it 2 more weeks and you could easily be up to 90 Tril or so. Enough to start a daily run to 18, then 3-day ascensions for 19 and 20. Even if my estimates are a little aggressive, add another 2 weeks of sitting there collecting naq, and by then they definitely have enough naq to do a run. Far less than 6 moths. This wont be a problem anytime soon, but 6 moths down the road when we have some truly huge accounts, 90T would be easy to sponsor. and all the buddies of this account could get easy level 25s. Some say cutting income would solve this, but it would only forstall it a while. The idea I came up with eradicates the problem all together. Like I said though it would piss off people, especially the ones that are saving up for a run now legitimately (not sitting on their bums just collecting naq from a sponsor).

Re: Regarding Ascension to Main

A scaling cooldown (quick at the start, slow at the end) between ascentions is all that is required to ensure a 6 month minimum timescale. It's not a hard ensure the time it takes to level an NG account up to main, the trick is doing it without having a negative effect on the playerbase day to day participation.

The later ones take a very long time.

All told, it's about a 6 month commitment.

Re: Regarding Ascension to Main

So when you ascend how long before you can play in main with the NG account.

1. I think you get a main account when you reach level 11 or 12 or something XD
2. Main account is where the game is at, NG is more of a foothold/tutorial area sort of deal. If you end up getting an ascended account (which I support of course :P, more fun there), which is where you ascend your main account, then you should build it AT LEAST to become undescendable.

There's basically 3 games, NG - Main - Ascended, ascend in one to reach the next one, NG is more of a tutorial place. For a long time it used to be just Main-Ascended.
