Warrior General Games

I would love for them to create a realistic pay for play model as too many left due to cost / enjoyment. There are so many accounts that are paid accounts kept alive by owners who have moved on and it is sad. A few come and go but most are gone for good.

The pay model was an excellent one when the game began but without 10K teams and countless options for owners (new and old alike), it is simply too expensive combined with not enough teams.

Would be nice to have a pay model to run a full team for 12 months but I doubt anything new will happen at this point.

It's been one heck of an enjoyable game in any case. I leave it all in Borts hands at this point where he wants this game to go and how it wants it to work. I am surprised he has kept it going this long.

Let's get the new season going in any case!





I like GLB2's model, buy a whole franchise with free level ups ( i think that's the case) at a big discount.

Incidentally, this would also have the happy corollary of addressing the seasonal 'Damnit! My free player auto-boosted' syndrome.

Speaking of which - now would be a good time to check to see if your free players are set to auto-boost.

prepare for the inevitable "turn off auto boost feature" post in the suggestions forum

Yes, would get rid of the multi bs.

And would also end the game, as there wouldnt be enough players.

that's a great idea

This is a great idea! It compensates for the flex we've wasted competing against these players......well, somewhat. We can't get back the time spent.

But like that’s an easy fix that people want and cost literally nothing

A lot of talk of multis. First people that use Starlink and like services have random IPs. At least that's how I've heard it explained. I think if you start multiple accounts, you're blatantly cheating. But if getting two free players really floats your boat, then you may have deeper problems.

I have heard of people taking over accounts of friends that are no longer alive, or retired from the game. I don't see that as cheating. Just my opinion. As I post so seldomly, you can imagine how little I care if anyone disagrees.

So if people taking over accounts publicly posted "hey guys, it's me xxx, I'm running x,y,z accounts now just so you know" that would be a start. Either way, just lame that non-GMs really never have a clue what's going on because game planning can't really be discussed in a team forum because there are agents with multis on multiple teams in the same leagues/divisions. Again, I don't expect anything will ever change, just sharing from a peon perspective the likely reason this game continues dying outside of the hardcore few who run the successful teams/organizations and essentially shut new/independent agents out unless they find themselves in an unanticipated jam (idk like suddenly some of their team's dots disappear due to agents getting busted for cheating).

Can't wait to hear that one. "We want as many free players we want or we'll leave and stop supporting the game!"

Oh no, the freeloaders who provide no money to the game and just add server costs will leave? What will Bort do with all that extra money and tears from you all leaving? Also, BS most of you here are lifers and know it. It's okay I'm probably one too from time to time. This would just make you spend some money for once to help run this site or watch as your legacy diminishes because you can't have 50 players over 15+ accounts.

If the multis thing were wiped tomorrow, it would be an amazing landscape to view. Some of our most revered organizations would have half the "agents" they have at the moment.

This is exactly why it shouldn't be allowed. Having mulitple accounts without paying allows an agent to coordinate much more efficiently as a team. Build plans, game planning, tactics, etc... While those who do not have multiple accounts are trying their best to coordinate with several different agents. It creates a disadvantage to those who spend money on the game vs those who don't. The opposite of how it should really work.

People who assert "the game will just die if multis are stopped" aren't thinking this thru. Multis are spending flex that has already been bought. If those accounts died tomorrow, GLB keeps the funds. Also, those 4 free players start to add up. IF one of the mega-organizations rounds up 5 multis, they have 20 players through out their organization that make the site no real money (yes, I get AEQ costs a token amount of flex).

Its also a matter of principle and game enjoyment. I have ONE account. I don't want to have my dots line up against a "free" dot that is on the field because somebody who QUIT the game 10 years ago gave his password to somebody else who ALSO has an account and 4 free dots. That's not right, and its not fair to the random new guy who signs up.
