First of all - thank you for announcing it over a month ahead! 1. The server is announced as forgotten attacks, but no word about morale. Will it be non-morale?2. Is there a solution for the holidays in December? 2 weeks after server start is a phase where we could see some PVP. In the main teams players play the game for many hours a day. Just cutting all ropes and sailing off for 3 days on a forgotten attacks world does not work. Even limited time spent ingame will have a serious effect on the accounts progress. Without a solution for the holidays it will either ruin the server or Christmas for me. There are not enough hours in a day to have both ;-)

if that is really a non morale world i have one suggestion:give the first prize to Sannahopea, Ganja and Co.( with the 100´s of alts) at the 10.12. because nobody is interested in playing against them with these server setting.so the rest of us can enjoy x-mas o:)

No malus = a faster world too, so top teams will be in center in 2 weeks...just in time for Christmas.It would be good if EA slowed the world down and did more to combat multi-accounting abuse. Otherwise no point in spending money on this farce. Lame win for the abusers.Correct! Its simple guys: don´t play that server + save the money for some nice xmas presents for your family + let Project play alone. That´s fun ;)

Guys think about it, this is kinda crazy. CNC is only a game. It should not dictate what you need to do in real life. I don't see Call of Duty or Forza impacting on daily life, i don't drive at 200 mph and then shoot everybody, and i sure as hell won't let CNC impact on real life either.Xmas, enjoy it as you normally do or don't, but don't let a game decide for you. If you haven't noticed the badges no longer mean the same as they once did, example TIB53 decided at same time as guys dropping 3rd bases, servers were always contested much more in past now it is a parade and an ordered list for badges gone have the days that many truly earned their badges. Gone have the days that badges were earned, 2nd 3rd 4th and 5th all worthless, meaningless, support the main team and farm hard and you will be positioned in as high a badge order as you ranking allows. Spend enough and use them skills and you can all be same level sad but true. Prizes, yes there are prizes but i am quite sure many of you will spend much more on first month alone than any prize received so again the decision is, is that world championship badge really worth the money and your xmas? You can bet your last dollar six months later nobody will care about your badge but your family will still remember how you screwed up xmas. All because EA promise something different??? something special??? for an anniversary, their anniversary not yours. Does anybody even know what this special thing is? lol, enjoy.Clown

There have always been more or less meaningful badges. There were servers where you had 10k PVP kills before the server was decided. Servers where you fought for half a year or servers where two major teams started. I hold my w100 badge in higher regards than the WCS2015 badge. Simply because after some initial PVP the WCS2015 was easy. On w100 we even had to do an endgame merger, but literally all major groups of that time came together on that server and there was short but massive PVP. It has been one of the most competitive servers if not the most competitive server.

I think Schaffa/Nvidia/Mara/some iteration of those teams have proven time and again how formidable they are in WCS settings.

I remember about a month or two ago discussing with people that the schedule is getting tight and the thought was
"of course they are not going to start this over Christmas, they are not crazy"
lo and behold - this is exactly what happens
is there any rationale for this crazyness?
or was this on purpose - pick the worst time to run a wcs?
or was it just you promised it this year and so have to start it before year end?
it already won't be a wcs 2021 anyways because all the real stuff will happen in 2022
Why not just move it to January?
all in favor say aye!

I agree with Certosha. Its the worst time to start a WCS and i do not understand that descision at all!

I will def. not play a WCS with Christmas + New Years Days take place a few days later. Sorry - but some family time at the end of the year should have priority for everybody!

And some players said that not everyone have xmas end of December, but for some it's early january ? like new year days
So we can say that "almost" all active player in the game have something during these 2 weeks from 24 to early january
so that's not wrong to start it in January...
it's WCS and they start it the worse time of the year :|

You already announced it but ... some players asked you already to not start it in december, and then EA ...

No need to move it that far, starting 10 january it will be good for most players (since 7 january is christmas for some players)
