I just had an epoopanny... epiffiny... eppiffiny? I HAVE AN IDEA!






We reset the server every 2 years.

WAIT BEFORE YOU SAY Wolfenstinger, your idea is bad and you should feel bad. Here's why -

1) This server ran to where it was 20/21 around 2010-2011? When the STEAM Pipe update hit, we were still strong but it wasn't the same group (I noticed this when I came back after a slight hiatus). Therefore, we clearly lost people who disappeared due to IRL events or other games. Yet it was still 20/21 with new people coming in and out daily from the reset.

Around a bit after 2012, beginning of 2013, we had some of our hardest cases on aimbotting solved (iREAPER Benihime + Mistral, Balto), who I might add, are up there in the database for levels still (You just gotta do some searching ingame). This is probably where the server also began to die due to CSGO getting patched and becoming popular. By like mid-summer to beginning of 2014, we started to hit some all-time lows daily.

[IF ANY OF THIS IS WRONG, BY ALL MEANS QUOTE AND SAY SOMETHING.]

2) Once players did hit 975 (now with alchemist it's like ~1025?), the most they could do is just play and be considered "whores" for playing races they enjoyed. I can't blame somebody who goes and plays Human once they maxed EVERYTHING, there's not much else to do. I'll hate you for it, but I won't hold too much of a grudge to not try and stab you.

[If I recall, ZERO plans on having Over-Leveling to come back? That would hold some people for an extent, but it'd be much better than having nothing once players maxed everything.]

3) Increase the incentive to maxing all the races. Like, there is not much I can do but theorize a 'What if?' like ...
-What if when you hit maxed on everything, you unlock a trail (similar to succubus) that isn't distracting [Off by Default, can be toggled through commands]?
-What if maxing everything enabled tracer rounds?

Small incentives, they don't have to be as rewarding as tracer rounds though.

4) Make top 10 actually mean something to the player. By this I actually thought about reserved slot for like a week+ for the WCS server only. Though I don't know too much, I'm just talking outta my ass at this point on it.


But yeah - that's what i'm coming to. If we reset the server and everyone starts from scratch, not only do we all work back up to what we wanna play again but it brings life back to the server while there is a mass bug check on all the races. Granted losing all our work we put in for the past however long some of us played will be lost (sucks... even I'm gonna be losing a lot of time that I spent on Vagalion, Succubus, Genocide, etc.), create some new memories and shenanigans. Those are my thoughts though, they just came in today.
