i agree with the last 3 posters.

those who didn't play because "the server was dead" now see new life and because they didn't play they've been left behind, and now want a cheap way to catch up with those of us who kept the faith are now coming out of the woodwork, was to be expected

no server reset!

Although I'm not in favour of a server reset, I think some sort of an update that would make the gap between the top player and new ones smaller would be a good thing. I just don't know what could it be.

Perhaps a better distribution of turns?
As it stands, if you can be active 16 hours a day, you get 1.5kAT/day (45 + 3/turn). Where as, if you only play for say 2 hours/day (which is realistic) you get [(45 + 3) * 4 active turns] and [5 * 28 rested]. So that is like 332 turns. 1.2K extra turns per DAY if you are able to be online for 16 hours/day.

Someone else suggested something similar and I agree. A slight tweaking is necessary. Something like, for every turn you use your active turns (the 45 you get when you attack) you instead get 30AT. And when your not attacking, you get 10AT/turn, instead of 5.
With this method, we then have the hyper-active person getting 1056AT/day. And the lesser active, but still active person getting 412. Which is only a 600AT gap, 1/2 what it is now. Means if new people come, they can catch up by being really active. But even if they are not so much, they can still start to compete.

Lets not also forget, MAJOR updates are yet to be done. Things that radically change the server, like ascension, or race unique techs. When these come in, everyone will be able to get them at a similar rate

Does anyone else feel the AT for active vs less active players is that unbalanced? What do all of you think could be done to balance it more.

Also I'll be kicking around in the #theplace and #thecoolerplace at 3:30-4:00 for the meeting if anyone is up for it.

Ya need a second time too. So i can be up and not asleep

[Urahara]

No server reset! If anything whoever doesnt have 1k UP give it to them. That should help for all the newly active players

[adminGary]

When would you guys like the second meet to be?

[~Lord Shizzo~]

weekends are best for me, cuz of school and work during the week

[Sarevok]

well, any time from about 17:00 game time onwards is good for me

[adminGary]

Alright, I'll set a second origins player meeting for 5:00 pm every Tuesday. The meeting will run for around 30 minutes to an hour at the most. I hope this is agreeable?

[GOLDEN WING]

5pm what GMT?

[adminGary]

Sorry 5:00 pm PST(-8)

I was more going for after 17:00 on friday game time Is it able to be about the same time, but after the first origins meet (that's with Main) or simply move the origins meet to that time, instead of with Main.

Also, i think we should scrap the bank/naq increase. Make it so as its relative to the amount of units on your account.

Yea, along w/the other suggestions, the bank should be redone...perhaps as just described above.

20m increases that cost over 1B each time is just.....painfully slow to increase, and way too costly at that rate. it would take months, maybe a year or more, just to have enough space to save up for the costlier expenses like covet levels 18 and higher (6 Bil. +).

That can be done too. I usually kick around in the channel for a while after the 3:30 meet on Friday.
