alliances are already being developed, you might as well impliment it into the game. Fees are good, giving bonus' for being in an alliance is silly anyway so please dont.

As far as Military Experience goes its not needed, except for wars.

Even in wars, it's just a pissing match. Makes no real difference.

Here in Origins, the real challenge in war will be in actually rebuilding.

yea I agree it is for some, for others its nice to know how much you kill and what you did during wars, it should be temporary and should dissapear once war is over. And alliance leader should be able to see everyones ME.

Hmmm...

Why not make it then the records of war that are only generated during a war, and only last for 1 month after the war has finished (if wars are going to be in Origins). That way we get a form of war records that are effective for whats required, and can be reffered to for a little after for comparisons...

We haven't decided either way yet on ME. I'm going to be discussing the idea and how to use it for Origins. I'll get back to you guys when we have picked a direction.

ME isnt so much the issue as how its displayed and maintained.

Ranking it cause server lag, if you do it update it every 12 or 24 hrs

Ranking it publicly causes meaningless massings of big defenses solely for ME

leave it as a personal scale/stat.

You can always change it later, its not needed from the beginning

I've just quickly added a prefix for alliance names. Just follow the "Change Player Name (1) / Help files / Alliances" link at the bottom of your command center, enter the name of the alliance, and click join alliance.

Please change it so the name is first, then the alliance Tag.

It looks funny in the Att screen

I agree, it looks wrong. I suspect that that is simply because we are so used to how it is displayed within the Main server.

Also perhaps have a way to remove the tag. I tried to blank that line and save/join, and it left it there.
