I just had this idea so feel free to shoot it down and tell me im an idiot or whatever (within the forum rules, i dont want anyone suspended for insulting me)
firstly. i am not one of those that have 'power ascended' nor am i one that has put alot of resorces from main into ascension, i have infact only ascended once so far. i would also like to point out that i have no interest in the war (not that that should matter) and as such this is not going to disadvantage either side (as far as i can tell)
ok, so im going to make some assumptions here
the bigger you are, the more powerups you have brought, the more expensive the powerups are
more than likley these powerups went into the physical realm (carisma production) im guessing, this would allow players to expand.
ok, that out of the way here is my idea.
give everyone some ap's but the same amount of ap's say for arguments sake 20kap's and give this to all new ascendeds when they ascend (first time only)
now some of you will be thinking, i sacrificed tons of resorces in main to get where i am now, yes you are right, that is why i have sugested everyone get this, as best i can tell this will help to close the gap without directly disadvantaging those that are at the top as they will recieve the same bonus as the rest of us, it will just be worth less to them
Feel free to comment

I would be willing to do anything to get the server active. Hell I say give everyone "ACTIVE" in the last 15 days 1 mill APP. Maybe then some growth might happen. This way everyone who plays gets some and as you said its just not worth as much to the top players but they get it just the same.

I'd love that lore...
I check ascended 2-3 times daily...
I'd love a free 1 million APP!

Re: Small Attempt to balance Ascension
Even if everyone does get 1 million APP, relatively we would all still be in the same position. In any case people shouldn't be expecting handouts. We're not lining up in dole queues here. The game (un)fortunately depending on where you currently sit has been designed intentionally or otherwise for people to exploit the magic of compound interest. (The longer you play the greater the growth)
Yes the equality thing is precisely the issue that is turning a lot of people away from the game. But there is no easy way of dealing with it - and certainly none that is fair to those who have successfully played this game for so long. I don't begrudge the fact that people before me have taken advantage of the game design but to argue for more changes gives another chance for someone to exploit something new for unwanted consequences. (SW issue etc)
As it stands virtually every single update/change/modification etc has been asked for and then complained about. If people want a game where they start with an equal footing then they should play chaos. If people don't like the way things are then they will undoubtably vote with their feet (as many are doing).
The only way things will change is if the top guys (and alliance for that matter) decide they've had enough, its time to retire and delete their accounts. If that highly unlikely event doesn't happen they would probably in future be left with not many to attack as people leave because the game becomes an exercise in futility. I myself (and many others I know)intend to stop as soon as I start getting raided, trampled and shot down. Its not fun being on the end of it, and I doubt it will be any fun for the top guys if there's an ever shrinking gene pool to dominate.

How much is 1mill APP to you? For me it's less than a day's income, barely worth anything to me. To you however, it's quite a handout, I'm betting.

Re: Small Attempt to balance Ascension
LOL, yeah he's right cause taking from the large and helping the weaker members isn't doing anything productive, the stronger are just getting stronger cause they are getting rid of some of their DMU???

i beleive in selling the DMU it is bringing some balance to ascention as it is a way for smaller people to catch up in some ways although they never will completely..
This brings unbalance as it is easier to build in ascention taking away some peoples needs for ascentions as it is more economical to buy dmu
Selling DMu is bringing an unbalance to main as several huge ascention accounts can get over a weeks income of naq for not much of a cost to ascention.

MHM a fairly nice handout sadly.

Well if you want to buy DMU, you should be buying now. I personally plan to stop selling DMU once I buy myself to 75mill army in main.
