That's complete and utter BS Harchester, because if that's the aim of someone, to make someone else quit the game, then that's just sick and says very little about the mental health of the individual who is aiming to make others quit. What else do they do for jollies? Pull wings off flies and hold a magnifying glass to them?

If that's your aim, Harchester, to make other people quit a game, then hold your head up and be proud that for every person you make quit, that's one less person playing and one step closer to no game because who wants to play a game where the sole objective of others is to make you go away? I honestly don't know how you can twist that around in your mind to equal the survival of the game.

not gonna lie i dont care bout people quiting it dont bother me at all....i mass people/ allainces cause its fun and i like the way the community react towards it thats all

You are making yourself look like an idiot. There is a difference between playing as an evil person, and playing as an ass who just wants to have people delete. No matter how much you may dislike a person, you shouldn't push them to delete. Everyone has their breaking point, it may be getting massed once, it may be getting their alliance massed, or it may be a year of constant massings, but you shouldn't feel good about making someone quit. Much more of this and random massing and I think the community may strike back at you, be they FUALL, ex-TTF or independent, I don't think anyone in this game would want to see people have enjoyment out of having someone quit.

it would be fairly easy for AdminJason to bring back most races... the only race he'd truly have trouble bringing back without complaint would be the SGW name... that is the sole name that MGM wanted... (for StarGate Worlds). As for race names, the only one that is truly in the spectrum of "protected" by MGM would be "Goa'uld"...
"Ancient" is, as mentioned, only a word...
"Replicator" can, if necessary, be replaced with "replicant"...
NanoTiMaster is not from MGM
Tau'ri is also not unique to stargate: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tauri
Tollan is the name of some cities in ancient mesoamerica: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tollan
System lord is fairly ambigious.
Asgard is in no way the property of MGM. It is the name of the home of the æsir, gods of norse mythology.

There are similar examples for countless other species...

the best way to make races count would be to, in some degree, unbalance them... give each race advantages in one area and disadvantages in another... The real killer for such change is the system for Ascension... make even ascended races have different %ages for each stat type...

Im with you Z on that.

Everything you said, hit the nail on the head buddy.

That wud be perfect!

Didn't get much of what you explained us about MGM's race making for the StarGate's universe, but i completely understand and support the idea of having downsides on all races. Benefits, well we already have that.
Maybe goa'uld/system lords are easier to spy and sabotage? (pride)
Replicators/NTM.. well those guys don't really have much of a weakness. not that i can think of.
tau'ri/tollan weaker against full scale attacks? or maybe more successful raiding? (humans betray each other every day )
asgard/ancient easier to.. ehm.. again, can't think of any.

But to make things a bit better.. the ups and downs could be enabled/disabled by each player (both at once) so to take away the risk of players not liking to be vulnerable to specific things, but also to take away extra bonus for them.

Also perhaps.. a new realm? This would strictly minimize the risk of players who don't want to roleplay to be victims of massive assaults.

should Jason make such a change, it would be fairly easy for him to also make additional races available...

The only problem in creating new races would be obviously the racial bonus.

Other than that, all races are the same, different unit/weapon/tech names.

Why?

Depending on how you understand the question :
1. We don't necessarily need to bring back rp.
2. To do it though, we require to announce it forum and server-wide.

the easiest way to implement such, would be server-wide after its fully programmed... then give each account a one-time dialog box when logging in, where they have to choose race...

ascension would still work, but rather than have those boring identical ascended races with X% to all stats, they'd have to pick one race that has advantages in one (or more) area(s) and disadvantages in others... depending on ascension level, those X% bonuses would vary... the more % the higher the ascension level...
