Hello Commander,
so in essence more worlds more often is the idea from this thread I gathered? We'll see what we can do about a more frequent schedule.
Yes we have said this for long time the ALTs are potentially a work around that some use to try to guarantee a good finishing position it helps them dominate, but i guess this is also alot of work that they have to do to maintain them (a game that is like work - not really fun). We all suspect it is done because they already invest lots and feel that they require to have results for their investments. In doing so they strangle the game for others. This activity could thin out if there were multiple server choices to go to thus potentially a more varied name on the badges.
If game is monitored and no real change is seen then multiple server starts at similar times might not be the answer however for many to maintain an interest in the game it is surly worth a try. I would also make them smaller servers until you can rebuild the player following again.
With more server starts the assumed Alt problem may then actually rectify itself................. because if guys don't dominate quickly they may just play it out some (instead of relying on alts) and if it all goes against them they can leave and start a new server (because they will then know they don't have to wait months for the format they like to play). When i started this game about 9 years ago this was the situation if you screwed up your start or did not like the format it was never too long 3-4 weeks max before another new server started and quite often 2-3 servers started within a 2 week period.
And of course as soon as badge 1 (or lets say badge 3) is done then start a new server of that type. It then gives the completed guys some place to go and allows all other to fight or do what ever for next badge instead of waiting in a line to be called. Of course you are not banning the badged from continuing but you are giving them options. This is good for new guys coming through to so they can play the game the way its meant to be played they will be much more interested in a varied game digging farming fighting and killing the fort rather than just waiting in line and getting bored (then leaving game for something more interesting).
SO maybe no fix needed maybe just variety with more frequent server start ups ......
