LOL, no indeed. But I guess that even IF Jason wished to implent this (what I heavily doubt), it would only be implemented for defending, to keep a certain balance. OK, sort of. Not completely.

that would be harder to do for just defense always. Like deni said, 2 top10 MS on one account even for just defense, would be massively table turning

Simple way to keep ppl from abusing it is to only allow it to be sent to younger, unascended accounts as extra protection from farmers and snipers. Set a time limit as well as the ability for the person being protected to dismiss it. Also add a limit to the size/rank of the account it can be sent to. So @deni, your MS and JT's couldn't be sent to the others account, only to a new recruit that NEEDS the protection and then only until they dismiss it or they reach a lvl they can protect themselves against all but the larger accounts.

But how do you define that??

They way you said it, if Tokko's old account descended (with like 30-40M) then it would meet your specifications, and so the MS of Deni and JT would all be on 1 account along with Tokko's

No it wouldn't. When I say "unascended", I mean NEVER ascended before. Not even once. The game knows if you've ascended or have been descended, hence the tags fallen, and such. It would help the protect new players in the game from snipers and only for a limited time. Say MAX of 1 week that the MS can stay over the new account. If the new player has the right teachers, 1 week should be plenty to learn to farm and raid to be able to build a decent defense to discourage the random sniper. Sure it won't be enough to protect them from a veteran sniper but would be long enough that they don't get discouraged and stop playing because of rookie snipers......

Good point. As a matter of fact, it might be worthwhile to work it out even more.

Thanks, I know it works on the other online game I play, works rather well actually. So I know it's achievable, question is will Admin try it? If you are curious about that game hit me on my yahoo (it's in my profile) or PM me here or main.

i accept it would be helpful for new people, though the effort to code that for 1 week help doesn't seem to make sense. Would be better off them getting turns from the market, sending them to someone to raid/farm for them (same person as would be sending the MS) and getting the resources back as the result.

I have to agree, the benifit is so small compared to the effort/time to bring it into the game. I'd rather see more serious issues worked out then adding something that helps only a small % of the player base and will never effect well over 50%.

Something that could be of more benefit, is a half PPT, people can't attack the starter, but they can attack out. Exploitable yes i know, though with the such small start stats, not to major maybe :?

NO

you can make 10 times as much hitting inactives as you can hitting live accounts that hit back. Learn to play more carefully.
