Re: new g&r idea (for those finished ascending)

why dont just allow me to ascend as fast as it used to be, waiting 15 days if messing up everything, i see nothing wrong into ascendign faster for me! Ill lost around 30m units into it and see no harm to anyone and a lot of gain for others who would be able to catch me up!
About the war idea, why should that be like that then, no reason to get glory and rep points from ranks, just make it from massing farming and stuff like that! so yes from wars and damages u do, lets see who lasts longer with this system!... u wanna ascend ? go mass till u get 1001 glory points! :-D


( this system will make a lot funnier to mass big dudes, cause then should be given more glory points for massing someone bigger than u!!! woohooo )

yeah lets use it for something.... but then, bigger players will be now having a reason to be top ranked cause every 5 days they will have over 1k Glory and rep so will be able to do something with it.... nope bad idea... :lol:

*sigh*

How do you buy glory and reputation? You achieve glory by winning battles and earn a reputation from your deeds.

He's not talking about buying glory and reputation.


I stand corrected - but again - how do you trade glory and reputation (probably in the same way you trade a turn - being that they're all non-tangible?)?

But I have to say, I'm with GeneralChaos on this - besides, it's more like top 1700 atm.

Even though that is specifically what they were brought in to do?

Re: new g&r idea (for those finished ascending)

Fair enough.

It's just people keep bringing up the same suggestions regarding G&R over and over again - and it makes no difference now as to when they were suggested 18 months ago.

And it seems that not everyone reads the stickied threads in the Suggestions section.

Re: new g&r idea (for those finished ascending)

Glory and Reputation is for ascending, but also it should stand for what it is, but becuase having a lot of G&R ingame is useless when your done ascending it doesn't stand for it's name. I think having more G&R should allow you something extra which could make it more worthwhile, but not resources , maybe something which benefits the ascended account?
rank doesn't mean that much to people, so consequently G&R doesn't mean anything to people atm. People are suggesting a practical use for G&R because its a number, there wouldn't be as many people suggesting practical uses for G&R if it was set out in stages or levels.
So, until someone can suggest something which fits the description above G&R should stay as it is and definitley not be used as a resource.

Similarly, I believe that people in general are inherently flawed. Deep down, we are programmed to hurt one another; either physically or emotionally. People are naturally selfish and greedy; governed more by bestial urges than common sense or ethics. Society is a terrible thing, too. The more supposedly civilized we become, the more immorality and decadence become the main staple of our daily diet.

Before Lost concluded, my main flippant excuse for not killing myself was that I wanted to know how it ended. I will get back to you with a new one when I find it.

Re: new g&r idea (for those finished ascending)

I agree that G&R points should have more uses such as market value ( Sale only ), if they had more value to those who had finished ascending then more players would fight to stay in the higher ranks, this would mean less players sitting in lower ranks to raid and may reduce zero stat warfare.
