NEW WORLD

I've been seeing 'I'll not fund' type posts for years, yet the game continues.

Whilst I agree that it is difficult to accept that the best teams win, the problem, in my eyes, is that the 'World Championship' type worlds don't have a strict enough entry requirements and neither do veteran worlds. After 400 or more worlds there are simply too many players qualifying for those worlds. There isn't any 'happy medium' between the best players winning all the time (best funded, best skilled, best at cheating - take your pick) and those that play for fun with a little funding available.

As has been discussed many, many times here the 'problem' is "what comes after a fortress kill?" and no sensible, acceptable offering has been made.

A new world may come along in May according to the 'schedule' outlined by others. Will it be Forgotten Attacks, Morale or some other option - we'll only know when it is announced!

You know what would be really interesting? If a veteran world had a signup cost. Hear me out.

It's reasonably well known that most veteran players buy the command point and repair time caps. In fact, after playing a few words and beating the fortress once, I'd be inclined to say that they are necessary.

After asking around the few times I've played, the general consensus seems to be the monthly cp increase of 200cp (899TA) and +48 hours repair time (2299). For games lasting 6 months and 12 months, the capacity costs would be ~$25 (19188 TA) and ~$50 (38376 TA)

So instead of having a funding model for a veteran server where people are going to buy the caps anyway, why not have an upfront cost, removing the ability to buy extra caps and packages but putting everyone on an even playing field.
