perhaps have a checkbox on preferences with "dont want to ascend again", amd then one gains no glory, and one more lower player gains G&R... and that box is always marked for those with 10 ascensions...

how many players with less than 100k army do you regularly attack?

and although this might remove a few raid farms, it shouldnt be much problem, as the better ones have some other units, and new ones appear every day...

got me there less than 100k, not many that i atk

The check box may not be a good idea. The limit may change and the person may want to ascend then. I get G&R solely to increase my APP. I got plenty but when I do ascend again I want it to be the best and most powerful as possible.

uhh back to the topic at hand...

what limit? the 10 ascensions limit? if that were to happen, the players at 10 ascensions would of course be able to uncheck the box... and there is that APP thing... this was only meant for those never wishing to ascend again...

To make it really interesting, you could have a bunch of factors determing whether an account is removed. eg:
1. less than 20k army size
2. not logged in for 2 weeks (out of VM)
3. not logged in for 1 month (in VM)
4. has not been in top 20k in past 2 months
5.. other factors..

If more than 2 of these factors are answered YES, then the account is deleted. Yes, so this in theory could mean accounts with 100 mil men, but haven't logged in for 2 weeks and are not in top 20k COULD BE DELETED.

This would also weed out those players who aren't serious about playing. Sure, it might be a bit harsh to just delete, but it will mean people actually have to play, and not just fart around and not do anything..

On this note, you could then have a 2nd server, where all these accounts are 'sent'. That way they could still have it, but the 2nd server would be alot slower, etc.

your plan is too much like a Main server re-set... not gouna happen.

but factors in relm submistion would be intersting...

and a reminder this is not about deleeting accounts its about making them submit to the active players.

I don't feel that submission to active players is a good idea... that would severly discourage players from coming back from the hiatus' we take in the game...

no, it shouldnt do that, as all forms of "submission" end the turn change after one logs in again...

no its only when they are in-active, its becuse the relm leader has been away for weeks, months, years.... when the player logs back in its reset to 0.... so the longer your away from your account the easyer it becomes to raid and farm. (raid mostly). when they come back the counters are reset to their zero or neutral status.

baiscly it dose not discourage re-entry to the game.
