reason why this server rocks

I am going to tell you right now why this server rocks.
Lack of donations.
I have noticed that there is a great feeling in this server - the feeling that it is actually possible to keep up with the top players. I can actually advance through the ranks! This is largely b/c of the lack of donations. Players use the donations in main to stay ahead, sometimes paying hundreds of dollars to stay on top, making very hard to catch up.
Please don't add donations!

Although this is kind of a repeat, I'm going to allow it because of how much ascended rocks...

axemaster you only THINK you'r getting ahead, the top spots are reserved for people that ahve huge armys in main, so they can ascend whit huge UP's and loads of APP. So abilty to donate there to wuld be a huge mistake.

so in other words,you just mean no supporter status(sending planets,turns,dmu to other people) in ascention?
i agree with that.

I think supporter status in Ascended would be horrible as it is about bettering yourself rather than others and being somewhat left on your own to improve makes it much more of a challenge than main IMO.

Yeh, 'tis true. The main reason why ascended server is good is because it is truley every person for themselves(apart from you obviously wont attack your mates). But if you wanna catch up with the top players(which is pretty dam hard) you gotta do your full 10 ascensions and make them BIG!!!!

I like the idea about "every man for himself"
Makes it so when people whine, they can't say "oh he just won because his buddies just gave him a load of UU/DMU/etc."

Dont insert donations, we dont need ascension to turn into a jason revenue fund, it is perfect as it is, as jake said, IT ROCKS
If you want to contribute to the "Buy jason his sixth house fund" go play quantum wars like i do $$$ Fun

I really don't get this? All the alliances look out for one another so how is it every man for himself?

There is no trading of goods between players.

one big thing is the very limited turns, you dont have to worry so much about power players wasting there time and turns to just bully people (which they can do if they realy want but they dont bother)

lol, IF there were no trading in ascension it would be fairer. True.
If anyone thinks there isn't trading going on in ascension, they're are as wrong as the people that said the world was flat.
And I don't mean sell dmu thru having a 0 defense and receive naq in main. Nor converting life force points to dmu upon ascension for the main server naq.
If people don't know that, then they have false expectations that will never be met with ascended server. Sorry for the rude awakening, but trading is going on and on VERY grand scales.
You say you can't? Yeah, thats the problem as just about everyone is in the same boat, they just don't know it. I do. Lets hope that another unfair update isn't introduced.
Trust me, I know what I'm talking about.

Ascension server rocks because you cannot be a one-trick pony and survive very long. You need to be strong in all areas because EVERYTHING can be taken out by something. Assassin planets can be hunted, attack, defense, and covert planets can be assassinated, income planets can be untrained or raided. It's all good. And, now with the ascended superweapon, it is especially good. The only thing that needs fixing is descension and once that is done, some individuals will be kissing their main bonuses good bye. As far as resource trading goes, yes it does exist but it is a complicated process and is not feasible for most people, nor is it necessarily a smart thing to do. Taking your defense down to 0 is a dangerous proposition, unless you absolutely trust the person with whom you are dealing. As far as alliances looking out for each other, what did you think was going to happen? Of course we are going to look out for each other and coach each other through the ascension process. That is how some of the allliances maintain their edge in both servers. If you notice, there are really only two alliances that are immensely strong in both servers. And that is going to come back to bite some alliances in the butt very soon, especially when some people lose their 30% bonus in main.
