I would assume it would be for any nation that could lose rebirth, as in any nation over level 100, lol. So some guy can't mass level ones just to get the rebirth credits.

lol so just make 25 level 101's and get all those free creds - woot woot

would make more sense to just make everyone level 1's and keep all the pts as negs and give everyone like 400 creds as a gift and restore all nations to map

that way any inactive players can kiss their nations good bye if they don't come online and suspend

btw...is it just a new map or will we be seeing some new techs and resources with this huge event ??????

personally i would like some new colors too (like neon ones like that eletric blue that bob had)....make the map look colorful and for those on acid - well - it would be coolio

cya on May 1st

Hi All

Well done Mele for making the new map happen.

However as usual I don't think you have gone quite far enough.

My suggestion which is just a suggestion and no I won't be playing again once the new launch comes into effect is:

- Unsuspend every nation on the old map, reset them all to zero, that is no free rebirth, no orb lists nothing.
- Get rid of suspending nations till the nation reaches a certain amount of lifetime, my suggestion here is say $500
- Get rid of the dumb rule that stops vet players helping out new players nations
- Get rid of all player points done from clicking......this has no relevance in the new world.
- Keep the orb lists, nation lists etc but make them new lists for this world and then also make them the top 100......nothing motivates newish players more then seeing their name on a who's who's list

By doing this it puts everyone on a level footing, unfortunately you can't lose the experience players have already had.....so its as level as it will ever be.

Yes I hear the groans from everyone saying why should I lose my bank nation, why should I lose all my seeds.....but then again why shouldn't you, do you not want new players to play the game?

The other advantage it has is it stops the problem Mele has of a clogged server.

Everyone should if they have a half pie decent brain in their body accept and endorse this and encourage Mele to set this up prior to launch date even if it means delaying it further so as to code it up.

At the end of day if a player leaves they are only hurting themselves by not allowing themselves to play. Big deal I think not.

Cheers

LOL @ BALDUR

Kinda funny about making everyone lose everything

Funniest part is that you yourself won't be playing however you act likes it's okay to take everything away from everyone that still does play

Hi Jab

The even funnier thing will be hearing the vets moaning that the new map solved nothing and the same problems that are there now will still be there after the launch.

Ask you this, the average wocer has how many seeds? The average newbie takes what say 2-3 weeks to get to grips with the game and that would just be the mechanics and not the skills to be able to even get close to competing against a seasoned player.

You guys even starting with nothing already have a huge advantage over them, to add in the seeds, the credits, plus the upfront knowledge that Mele will literally give you 1k credits just for leveling up to lvl 101......the newbie doesn't stand a chance.

And yes you may pull the argument that you were a newbie once too, yes you were, however the strategies back then are nothing compared to what they are now.

To say you would rather keep all your hard work is rather short sighted and in my eyes makes you look as if you are afraid of not being able to cope starting with nothing again.

Cream will always rise to the top........and I am sure should my suggestion be implemented those good players will again be top.......however at least give the new player something of a shot.

Personally I don't mind either way, I am no longer a player, it is your guys game.......I am just providing a thought provoking post.

Cheers

meh buzz, why not just suggest that the new world be a clean slate...and if u choose to play there u gotta register again and make a brand new nation as if it were your first time playing woc...just treat it like other games treat different servers

Hi Brain

Well the one thing I wouldn't suggest dropping is wiping ones name away. Hence the reason not voting for a completely clean slate. A name is a players identity.....as is a nation.

By all means wipe away the points as that way you can compare apples with apples.

Don't honestly care about making all nations to level 1's with no negs

But to take away creds I BOUGHT would be crap unless I'm reimbursed for my 25k transfer creds

Seeds don't matter since I make level 100's within 1 hour now alone lol

Would suck to lose my level 218 then again only took me 17 hours to make that one so I know I can do it again

Anyhow whatever Mele chooses to do is all good.....Just can see many peeps quitting if they lose the creds they bought.....I can promise you that if I lose my $1800.00 worth of creds I'm done with the game

Hi Jab

"But to take away creds I BOUGHT would be crap unless I'm reimbursed for my 25k transfer creds

I rest my case........How can a newbie get even close to competing with the above? Just on the experience alone.....Jab has a huge advantage......throw in the rest........doesn't encourage me to play it, let alone spend on it and I would consider myself a newbie since it been so long.

If they were bought recently I would agree.......as the orbs would still be paying them out presumably.

Otherwise......I refer you to my first post......."Big deal......I think not'"

Remember the only person losing is you and your ability to play a game you like to play.

At the end of the day if you didn't want to lose your money in an online game you shouldn't of spent here in the first place.

This arguements stupid, because despite anything any of us say Mele the queen bee has her mind made up...

We are forced to run Hyperion which is currently going on now because of these things, personally I feel taking away purchased products is wrong. But since argueing with Mele is pointless I have taken situations into my own hands. Hyp is running and if currently leveling at an exceptionally high rate. As for Spit Teams 90k credits we're fine, Mele is letting those transfer over.

And since shes letting our credits and uncashed winnings transfer over I think thats the end of story correct?

The issue on hand is questions as to what is happening with the new map because Mele already has her mind set up.
