Yeah that's nuts. I played from like 1999-2003, then again for most of 2023. I doubt I'd finish the reset if I started so probably not going to. But I love nostalgia so sometimes I come here and read stuff.

What was the most popular alliance host back in the E2025 days? I don't remember but there was another one besides GHQ. You might be able to look in the wayback machine for logos.

I haven't played or visited these forums in 6 months so I'm a little out of the loop. But I have some suggestions for 2025.

Change some of the formulas and don't disclose what you change, to prevent the super experienced min/maxers from dominating as hard in 2025. Couple that with a big recruiting push of new players and some veteran leaders. I would love to see some old time leaders try a reunion set for alliances that don't exist anymore. You all know better than me which ones that might work for. Maybe the new players will stick around long enough to learn the game well instead of getting stomped into the ground and ragequitting, if the experience gap was somewhat bridged by some formula changes and helpful leaders teaching n00bs. It's reasonable to expect some increased level of veterans returning in the next year as people remember Earth 2025.

That depends on your definition of dead doesn't it. I think if you asked anyone who doesn't play this game whether it's dead - and especially if you explained the history vs today, etc - 90% of people would agree it died ages ago. It can still be fun, but for all intents and purposes we're fluffing a corpse here.

I liked to use names of clans that aren't active when I'm a 1 man tag. Even if I never played in them. I used CWG and UCN for a few weeks last year.

After looking through past posts I see most were referring to BH's recruits and the resulting attack/retaliation/quitting. So that's not really representative of everybody clearly. While looking up those posts I reread Auk's post from August and I like several of the suggestions:

- Drastically decrease expenses and food consumption;
- Drastically decrease the cost to construct buildings; and
- Drastically increase build per turn.

I disagree on the following:

"Adding expenses to clan GDI will likely result in a meta where most netters will stop using clan GDI to stay competitive for netting purposes. Then we'd be back to square one with problems unsolved."

If ClanGDI is the surest way to avoid griefing, players will pay the price to preserve their netting ability. Meaning it's not a disadvantage to netting if everybody is paying the price (or nearly everybody). The only way to net without it would be careful diplomacy / good PR, and that still carries some risk of griefing.
In a game where most things have been optimized by the player base, if you introduce a feature that is very powerful and allows them to accomplish their goal more reliably and predictably, you have to add a cost. Without a cost it becomes a mandatory way to play the game to remain competitive. With the right cost it becomes one option among many and adds depth to the game.

As I've said before, the only real solution is to grow the player base, and several players have been outspoken against that idea because "one time we tried and it backfired". They're like cancer patients refusing to take chemotherapy because it's unpleasant... you can follow the analogy to the natural conclusion.

By the way why does this thread even matter? The topic has been discussed for weeks and decisions have already been made. And idgaf that you don't want discussion on your thread. You're not in charge here.

With all the antisemites feeling emboldened by the Israel war, a lot of Jews are afraid to put up their menorahs this year. I built a big fluffin holder to place in front of our window, with platforms at two different levels so I and my kids can display ours in the window and be clearly visible from the main road from any angle.

There are 53 countries in Team and at most 125 active human players in Alliance, even though alliances can have as many members as you want and Teams are limited to 5. If the team member limit was raised to 15 I think many would move to that server.

I've posted several times that there are going to be many players showing up as 2025 gets near. We should be making an effort to retain them for the game's sake. I'd bet most will start on Alliance server and leave for Teams though.
