Secret server IP Change & other updates

[jimmi33]

Make atleast 1 secret server each 0.5 interval. That should solve atleast a bit of the problem :P

I agree

I realize that this topic is ancient history and my timing might be very bad, but I'm gonna dig it up anyway.

I've seen many updates to this game since I started playing 9-10 months ago. I can see the point in most of those updates.
Although I'm not used to expressing my opinion in public, I want you to know that IMO this update is the worst one so far.

Before this update I had plenty of options to enjoy myself with desinfect mission, planting spyware, installing my own virii and a bunch of other stuff you can do on secret servers.
May I remind you of the infamous 'matahari' spyware and a mysterious spyware invasion on SGP claimed servers.
I did pay a price for it (I've had my servers trashed at certain intervals) but I've already said before that this is part of the thrill of this game. Still I managed to maintain a position in top10 in both rounds.
What a huge difference to my current activities: all I do now is upgrading my farms while waiting for research to finish.

This post should not be read as a complaint in Emi's direction so I'm gonna make this suggestion hoping that you'll all agree with me and we can get this missing part back into the game.

I would like to suggest that secret servers will not change IP automatically, but instead give players the tools to
1) Initiate an IP change; This should be a longrunning process (like 48+ hours) to allow counteractions. In case of a succesfull IP change only the initiating player will get the new IP.
2) Initate a format. IP will remain the same but all software and virii will be gone and upgraded protections will be installed. This will give a blank server at which anyone will have their chance of installing their moneymakers.

A copy of this has been posted in suggestions section.

With the Faction Project update, secret servers will change IP every 30 days.

That should be enough of a timeframe to allow players to battle on the servers and to flush any old virii.

But good suggestions for future updates ivan, I will keep them in mind.

Thank you.

No offense, but I also like to get a reaction to what I say in the Moderator Discussion Forum.
