Take away the limited number of countries allowed to run. I've lost numerous of old ffa'ers because it is too boring to run 16 and then you can only score 3 kills by yourself.

or at least give us the option to pay for patron status for unlimited # of countries :)

Wow, running 16 countries isn't enough?

hell no

then its gives the people with the most free time the advantage

Heres another sugg FFA bring the number of countries you can run down to 3 and you'll get a lot more players playing who thinks it takes up waay much time to run 16 of them

1 tag whose members all/most play 50-200 countries fs's tag where all/most play 20 countries so even if both alliances had same number of members fsing tag would have huge countryadvantage and it would lead to short war on 1 vs 1.

doubt any1 misses those days when nbk, takers, bsnake, etc tags had several hundred of countries in tag.

the old ffa'ers that come back but can't stomach this limit rule leave marshal

and dave the ones with the most time still have the advantage because they wall all the time. time is not the issue that is being spent in ffa. it is the ability to play fresh and not see a month's work go down in one day(this is the biggest issue).

another thing would be that countries can't hit countries unless they're online. that's not playing a game that's like turning off your 360 and coming back your guy is dead cuz you weren't online to hit/run. earth is a different type of game but hey that's the issues that these people have voiced. they come back from rl and they got nothing to play with and restarting is horrible. take wow for example, if you die u dont go back to level 1 you start with half health/half mana. you can look at any other successful game that this generation is into.

having unlimited countries was the beauty of not having to restart from level 1 but having new countries ready to roll. that's what this game is missing. i'm just voicing the issues my guys are having that is all.

btw, no successful game makes a player start all over again without at least a couple of continues :)

don't expect this game to be a big hit because right now it only plays to a specific demographic

I'm not playing at ffa currently but unlimited countries would also benefit suiciders and that way cause more damage.

I fought few times against NBK/Takers/etc when there was officially 15 country limit at FFA and those wars were very disasvantaged to alliance I was due attackers had alot more countries.

If there'll be FFA w/o countrylimit (doubt it since it increases net traffic) then new server and current server limited to 16 countries for those who don't want to/have time to run more than 16.

ffa should not be a place to net period. it is a Free For All.

I think a better choice would be to create another FFA server with no limits/rules and leave the existing FFA alone. Although realistically some kind of limit would probably be needed due to server resources.

1st off, there was a limit before, just nobody listened to it

secondly, theres a difference between being able to watch over your 16 countries and being able to kill off a 50 man tag by yourself

i stand by what i said earlier dave

"it is the ability to play fresh and not see a month's work go down in one day(this is the biggest issue)."

Would be better if they fixed the random country numbers instead so people cant just kill all countries in a row if they notice that they arent online having unlimited countries is just silly

something to alleviate that sinking feeling of restarting. save points and only 3 per country for every reset would be good.

No.

Over time most of us have matured and gone on with our lives patriot, maybe you should also :P

nice timing for a suggestion like this, just as your alliance is getting pounded. is unlimited countries the only way IMP has a chance patriot?

with unlimited countries comes bots. no thanks and itll never happen. build better countries instead of needing a ton of fluffty ones to compete.

read my other posts pain that suggests save points or some other type of "continue" mode. Are the game developers going to try to keep players or let them slip back away because they don't want to add something similar to that?

it is not about you, me, or IMP. This is about keeping the players intrigued and motivated to continue playing the game and not in frustration and leaving for two months maybe never coming back.

Take Crippler's advice and mature Pain.

Also let me add, IF any of these suggestions were to be implemented it wouldn't be right away to benefit IMP. This is long term planning for aggressive growth.

the restart bonus is enough, and more then needed :P lol

nah actually it is not enough. i think 1/3 of military/net/land/resources etc would be a good starting point. Currently, it's too minute.

+100

netting with unlimited countries....

That fluff would be wack!

yea no need to worry about diminished returns and networths etc could in theory reach whatever limit admins have added to game.

alright, i've said my piece and may the game developers do with it as they wish.

But we *have* accelerated restarts already...? is that not enough?

sorry qzjul, it does not. I cannot help but compare and it is probably not fair but other games do not strip you of all your hard earned rewards. In other games it is armor,spells, and/or weapons. In earth 2025 you do. A lot of players play this on the side and not solely this so when you "lose" here you really do lose. Also, you do not only lose for a day and can re-acquire your weapons in matter of seconds. When you die here you die for months.

Now, these long resets also add a unique element to the game but maybe restarting, also known in other games as respawning, can be more forgiving. The demoralizing factor is just huge when you die here.
