[UI] Movible accounts

That has nothing to do with it. USA West is just an empty server. Two different guys in my TS should be on west but they're in East 1 instead, that's how empty West server is.

 

I have been on East 1, 2, and 3. West is way busier. Your friends just like who they play with over on East 1, and there is nothing wrong with that. I just logged from west, been on it just about all day.

 

i thought that too, but then i kept playing the game and found that it can be breached without instant gratification, but normal progression like any other game. and of course there's a huge gap between starting out and vets. darkorbit is pretty legit with its sort of lawless pvp, and that probably scares people but the fact is that dying in this game is effectively harmless, except for egos. getting attacked by ships that slaughter you is part of the cat and mouse aspect. we're fish in a pond, that's how it goes. besides, tag isn't fun if nobody is chasing you. i love this game for the same reason i love perma death games, strategy, and adrenaline.

it's probably hard for new players to understand, it's not like all the other canned feel good games. if it was i wouldn't be playing. all the added stuff: pilot points, drone formations, galaxy gates, even upgrades; i've ended up liking for unique angles they bring. making uri the free way is not impossible. 5k an hour boxing (not botting), spin gates from the free energy, do quests, special events, buy log discs on sale, do upgrades. play.

i don't think they can allow sever hopping. people would go to the most deserted server to bid in auction, or play without competition, then hop back to a happening one when they're 1337. maybe enough people would do that, and all the servers would become mildly populated, but that would really thin everything out and make it pretty easy to avoid challenge, kinda ruin the whole point. merging dead servers sounds like the best solution.

 

I am against moving accounts for many of the reasons above but I would support Server mergers.

 

This debate has been taking place over many years now. It is unlikely that Big Point will bring out such an option. I see this as both good and bad.

Never the less, I would think something like a 75% Honour reduction would be an agreeable sacrifice when moving servers. Perhaps an EP discount in the region of 25% also. On top of this putting a block on transferring companies after joining a company should be an idea, say you then cannot swap for 4 weeks after switching.

Also a block on server transfers, say only once per yeah for example.

It's in some ways a pointless conversation as the outcome will inevitably be nothing.

 

Note: The thread will be re-opened only if the OP requests for it.

Enjoy the game.
