200 is plenty of secret servers, especially with less than 20 active players.
As for disinfecting, you start getting alot of people installing virii and I'll guarantee the disinfects will skyrocket. There was only a couple of people attempting to disinfect me. A few time of me hitting their servers and they backed down real quick. Get everyone installing and disinfecting and you'll be very sore trying to track them all down.
Tracking down less that 20 people? That is not hard. Besides if you lower the reward for disinfects then less people will do them because you get less money. Just like in business the less you pay someone, the less qualified are the people who apply for the job.
Also if you are going to reduce the reward we better speed up the time to disinfect.
What I am proposing would stop what I was capable of doing. Anyone and everyone would start uploading virii to all the servers. Thus the more virii being uploaded the bigger player would get less of the chunk of income.
Not really newbies would log in to the server see that it is completely saturated with virii and say "oh well something is better than nothing." So the big player upload their large virii and take all profits while the newbies are left with crumbs that too small even for a mouse. So it would not stop what you are doing just make it more sophisticated.
Getting Secret Server IP's is EASY cakes if you know how. No purchasing necessary. I can go from having the only secret server at the start to having them all in less than a day.
I know but in Round 1 of hacker project SGP, the number one group, since they controlled many of the secret servers they would buy ips from the ip dealer when new secret servers spawned because back then the ip dealer gave only ips not in your ip database and did not cost ap. So using their wealth they would buy up all the secret server ips before everyone else and install more virii. I just do not want a similar situation where large established players have totalitarian dominion over everything.

I do not think so because why disinfect when you would just install a high version virii? It takes a day and a half to disinfect a v.3 fileshare obviously it would be better to upload and install a higher version virii. If secret servers did not change ip that would help because then would be a reason to disinfect instead oh lets just wait until it changes ip then install since they guys got their viruses disconnected.
As for private servers, I would say the same thing. 100 BW = 100 HPD per hour. Just like it is now. Multiple people attempting to install virii on a private server only degrades their income if they reach the players bandwidth limit. Plus, this would prevent those of us who would take all bandwidth on a private server with our virii. Those are much freer of problems than secret servers (at least the AFK players).
I was just wondering because if bandwidth is what determines income then what stops me fron installing a .1 baron and just increasing the bandwidth continuously? By the way the conversion 100 BW = 100 HPD per hour is low if people are sharing a server it should be like 100 BW = 500 HPD per hour or more because at least that way the little person that you seem care so much about can at least get more than 1 HPD per hour.
No you cannot bounce. By the way Brok if you need any money I have like 25 mil in one of my bank accounts on SlaveHack. That is what you get with a persistent game people who do not give a crap.
I'm fine. Although it looks like my bank account just got hacked. Not sure how that happened.
Since its takes at a minimum of 5 seconds to change the log someone was probably log camping and grabbed your ip.
