Recruitment Link

[JediMasterX]

I dunno if anyone even still remembers yet still uses the recruitment link down at the bottom of the Command Center, but it's pretty much pointless to use especially for bigger players or anyone over 1k army size. 1 UU per click isn't really doing much. So why even use the link?

I think that if the amount of UU given was raised each time someone clicked the link then not only would they be clicked more often, but I believe we can also get more people to play the game. On MSN when a new game starts recruitment links from hell begin to pop up on your screen askign and begging to click. Anyone with a 1k plus army size in this game ahs no use for just 1 UU per click.

I have two proposal.

Proposal 1: Raise the limit for every to 100 UU per click. That way it is balanaced and you're not really getting a HUGE gain out of it, but it kinda pushes for people to use the link. 10 clicks and you got 1k UU. Thats 1k UU extra that day you earned. But for someone with millions of UU and a huge size they could care less.

Proposal 2: Raise the limit for every click to an X amount based on total army size (mercs excluded). People with say 20-50 mil army size should get maybe 500 per click and people 50 mil-100 mil should get 1k per click and people 100 mil and over 2k per click.

I think this will get more people to click and send out their recruitment link thus getting more people to play which could maybe get more money for the game for those people wishing to buy SS with $$ or something.

So, questions? Comments? All are welcome.

nice idea... suggested something like this earlier (or maybe someone else did), but this is better organized, wethink, so we'll leave this topic open...

also, there could be another variant...
first click, 25 uu's
second, 35
third, 45
fourth, 55
etc...

that way, the first few clicks arent that good, but when it gets to the 50eth click, it becomes quite much...
but it would probably need a system to prevent people from using this together with proxies to grow huge, since at the 10th day if there are the max of 50 clicks each day, the total uu per click would be over 5000...

but since the above might take too much coding, we think that the first proposal of yours is best... except that it might even work better with something like 250 per click... that would give max of 12500 per day...

maybe make the click be 1% of your up
so 50 clicks a day would get you half your up's production

But also limit it to 50 clicks a day and 100-150 clicks a week

[Zeratul]

the latter part of limitation would probably be harder...

besides, how many manage for many weeks to get 50 friends++ to click their link every day?

and to prevent proxies, maybe the major proxy networks could be sort of blacklisted on the links? so that any attempt to use proxies get the same reply as one gets if one tries to click from same ip twice in 24 hrs...

this would be huge for some !!! dunno how high is the UP of somone like STI, but i bet he's close of 1mil/day... 1% would allow him 10k uu by click...

here i find the idea of jedimaster very nice balanced, and for a new player, having 5 friend who click the link the first day could really be helpfull to start very faster

do new account still start with 20 turns, 20k naq and 4 UU? if so, that should be changed too in order to attract new people who may click these links

[Zeratul]

from what we have heard, yes... we have a suggestion on that somewhere... will bump it...

lmao I always fear to have one of these new people in my logs, I would have to start game again after being totally devastated

I like the idea, as these recruit links have not anymore use.

problem is multis... if u give too much for a new player, i bet some will try to cheat more and more. I think that only giving little more ats would be enought. now, with 150 ats, they would be able to start very good and fast.
(there is lot of unactive account with zero def and more than 1bil naq)
and dont forget that a new comer can raid now, what we where not able to do when we started.

[Zeratul]

that is true... the goods have to be balanced between too little and too much, but this discussion should keep to the topic... there is another thread on it... use that...

[Sadistic Angel]

what about if ppl got rewarded for reporting proxies, and then they were blacklisted, that would stop the over useage

[Miha]

I really like JediMasterX's idea, 1 UU really means nothing

Well and for those who just started playing, It would be very helpfull to get more resources, and a easier way to get SS

yer, so when new people come with 3 UP. they get 0 UUs from the click...Great idea...
