I misguidedly declare: Allegiance is Dead

There are a few fake newbs who aren't hiding, they are just returning old players whose accounts were removed due to inactivity. It just so happens they haven't played enough games to get their rank to what it should be yet.

Edit: And forcing people to play on rank-dependant servers is no good given the size of the playerbase. All you'll do is fraction up the games into 5 small 3v3s that nobody wants to play.

If we had enough players to make 5(3v3), this post would not exist.

Point 1 its those returning vets with a 0 that are making teams unbalanced I know its not their fault but can it be fixed

point 2 Ive seen the ranking up servers system in another game and it was extremely successful in keeping new players playing and everyone was happy, then the games owner and co-developer changed that system and withing a year its playerbase was halved and now 2 years later the game is gone it was also a great game Wulfram .Its sad to see a game you put so many hours into and build your stats suddenly vanish from the internet with no traces to say what you accomplished . I just fear the same thing will happen here I see the same trend in playerbase decline that I seen there its so similar its scary. The only playerbase left are pretty much all good players who will kill a newb 15 times in a row without getting scratched ,then that same new player presses ESC + Q for good. A probable good time to implement a change like I suggested would be over the Christmas holidays when there is a sufficient influx of new players to keep newb servers populated enough for them to have games with preferrably a trainer in their with them . Hve a training time for newbs with a volunteer trainer for about 1 or 2 hours a day.

Maybe a hard link to a rotating set of troll avatar pics too so they can all be easily identified? That last one might be a bit much.

Can you have a special separate badword filter that applies only to members of that group? We could replace common troll words like "LGB", "First Amendment", "is dead", "admins", "qf3", "management", "balanced", "voob", "n00b", "vet", "overpowered", "nazi", etc. (edit - How could I forget "Fixed it for you"/"fify"?!?)

Force-setting all text to font size 1, color white would be nice as well.

I'd actually be alright with that.

I used to frequent the chans back around late 2004 when all of the "cool kids" on the Everquest server I was on hung out there, but so much of what gets repeated from there these days is old, busted, and highly annoying.

You are an idiot. Stop posting now.

5(3vs3) means 6 people in 5 different games = 30 players

Regardless of the interest of the game Allagiance we can be sure that the FAO forum will NEVER die.

Skutch, hoping he will end this silly topic with this silly post as he has ended topic discussions with silly post in the past.
