But thinking about it, you'd pretty much have to lock that server so that no newer players could join to keep the competition level equal - so it'd have to be enough players to make the extra server worth it. Not sure how that would work.

it would be splitting our userbase. which we won't do.

i got your point, and understand your reasoning.

The difference is that I don't obsess about people and follow them around. If you say something insightful, I'll praise it. If you say something dumb, I'll bash it. What I absolutely won't do is look for your posts just to make a bitter comment because I'm holding some grudge.


if you have noticed...i reply to everyone...but you only see yourself...so i understand why you think im following you... >_>

Only temporarily, as the "old" server wouldn't allow new players, just allow existing players to finish out their careers if the agents chose not to retire them. After a certain number of seasons, everyone would be gone from the "old" game and be a part of the new one. Obviously you'll never do that if there never is any new, complete version, but it's the most reasonable solution if Bort were to come up with such a thing.

No, it's because you to meet the minimum intelligence level for this thread. Honestly, there should really be a sign or something to provide a disclaimer about that. You repeat points that have long, long since been addressed. It makes you look bad, not only to people who disagree with you, but also the people on your side.


And yet you continue to make me giggle when I thought it was no longer possible.

You know... if you scream loud enough, I bet mommy will cave in and give you that piece of candy at the checkout.

You're so certain that a majority of people paying to play this game want a total reset. Yet you have no way of knowing that other than counting what is a very vocal few who are also screaming till mommy caves in as the only ones who matter.

You can insult my intelligence all you want. I am not intimidated, afraid or otherwise affected by you. I am comfortable with who I am, my education level and life in general. Your petty little insults may score you "burn" points with the other mouth-breathers you run with, but they don't phase me.

Now please... make me giggle some more.

Ok, that's fair. But if you change your mind, that's the way I'd do a wipe.

If the beta GLB is still not finished... Why not have a "Charlie" version of GLB and let those folks who want to join this version of GLB join and create/own/build teams/players? Then let the Beta version stay its course.

Not for nothing but it seems like you guys are more concerned about keeping the season 1 guys happy. If that's your base than you are making your decision on a very small group of people.

That said, I agree that a full on reset is not the solution, but dismissing other peoples ideas is also not the solution.

That's like saying that their ideas are not good ideas because you didn't think of them first. That's absurd.

So you want a separate server, but you do not like my idea?

My idea completely negated admins dealing with demotion as well.

This is what I mean. You can't even follow along with basic points or keep any kind of awareness of what is being discussed, or who is saying what. I haven't argued for or against a "total reset." At all. Not anywhere in the thread. But by all means, don't let reality stop you from ranting.

I'm figured as much. Only people who are actually ashamed of their failures and limitations work to do something about it.

Whats your deal? Does a "tag" really matter? Wouldn't you prefer things progress? How shitty would this game be if nothing changed from season 1. We would all be bored and not want to play.
