Sounds like my account. except I had about 50 mill lifers. I restarted, and will be much better for having had done. I am ascending to the unknown might as well go to the top while you are doing it. Imo.

in case yr MS doesnt rock then ascend, might advise ya sell most of yr units, so u wont lose them while training miners evert 2 weeks, or forgetting them out or spies , it happened to some ppl already, ya gotta ascend 16-17 times /2 + some time to farm kinda 9 months , lol. or take a shortcut , buying an high ascended account.

Chances are you won't get a buyer for your account... and if you do, it won't be a good price since the market is flooded with LG+1 accounts.
You're not willing to put forth an effort to raise cash by selling resources to put in a decent bid for a good account.

Your only choice is to ascend your current account.

If you do ascend all the way you will be glad you have that amrysize later, if you account is without mercs id find someone who can hold 100mill UU for you, so you can get it back later as you ascend, up to AG is cheap its after than you will notice it more.

I was in the same dilemma 4 or 5 weeks ago, luckily my LG+1 account had a 1.1 Trill MS which gave it enough value to sell and buy a GOTAG, without a decent MS LG+1s have little or no value so you would have to ascend or spend the evil $$$.

There is of course the time factor, LG+1 to Unknown is 17 ascensions, with a 2 week wait between ascensions thats 34 weeks !!!! So I guess you patience will also be deciding factor.

I would ascend if I were you, but follow the advice given by mezz. In case you do have a nice ms then you could always sell your account and buy another account relatively close to (if not) an unknown account.

Unless you are very attached to your account, better start getting your move on with ascending :razz: cause it is worth it.

I'm going with ascend too.

You have a nice account as it stands. But when your enemy is getting he's AB 2x more often then you, it starts to really hurt.

And if you don't like waiting on PPT, just break it, and hit those farms (but don't forget to keep a log of them when you ascend ;) )

btw, what is the best way to keep my 12 pages of warlist while ascending...without using excel or other boring stuff...??

Without using Excel? None. You could use the personal log.. but that's .. well .. half and half good. :)
