i dont think he means "private" races (such as i have my own Cyber race that no one else has it).
bcos yes, i am completely against that, bcos balance would be fucked up and ppl will be building more and more op races based on the pool...
what i THINK he meant was that, there's a PUBLIC race, not restricted to 1 individual, but the ONLY way you can "unlock it", other than collecting the level requirements, it's by signin in on our forums with you steam id , and achieve for example a specific title in the forums post count bar...
i think that this idea might make regular players on our server WANT to register for the forums, in order to unlock races that they collected levels for, as opposed to just play, and not help the community in forums.
this might make people more active on the forums, with good posts and questions(not spammed). and heck, it might even make them actually READ THE FUCKING RULES accidentally, or read more info about the races they play, instead of constantly asking stupid questions in game...
They get rewarded for their activeness with the "permission" to play a gd race.
im not against the LADDER idea, but im not supporting it either. I think that the server is balanced as is, with no subplots, and i tihnk that , if someone were to be active on the forums, it would be because they WANT TO be active on the forums and helpful for the community, not because they are shallow, useless and just want to gain the race.
it's a matter of perspective and dedication ...
