Title: Buying servers in the next rounds
Post by: Andreas on November 25, 2008, 01:58:03 PM
I suggest the price for a server would increase every time you buy a server.
This will force people to use less servers making those servers more valueable to hack. They will also decrease the number of private farms which will lead to 2 things: Making the servers valueable (as mentioned above) and making people fight more for the secret servers.

Although I don't see a real purpose to this, it's a viable idea.

Don't expect me to have half as many servers as I do now next round.

There's not much point to having a lot of servers as it is, but increasing the cost by say, 1.5 times the previous price should do the trick.

20k, 30k, 45k, 67.5k...

Explain it as the increased hardware costs to your private intranet perhaps?

Except there is no private intranet :P

Anyway, I don't think it's all that important. Honestly, half the servers I've got are empty and unupgraded, purchased when I needed somewhere to talk to people or a clean host to let a newbie download some software. Raising the price of additional servers won't be helpful, I think.

It's definitely one of those things I could take or leave without feeling anything in particular about it.

I never thought this would make a big difference but I think its a small step towards something mythical called PvP.

*Sigh* I wish I didn't have to ... but I agree with Arthur Dent. There is virtually NO PVP due to the insane times and the fact that there are WAYYY to many servers floating around.

Yeah, I noted this suggestion. Buy new server price increases with each new server for next round.

Also have lots of other updates I will post.

Thank you.

6   mildmay (#2648)   69      939.519.428

Thats 69 servers and I guess not many of them is being used. Unless Mildmay do as I do; building up farms to just a certain level and start a new one so if 1 gets attacked I will have several more which will provide some income. Im currently working on my 6th farm.
