WAY TOO MUCH LAND

[Drakus]

Instead of resetting reg, how about we scale down the land for everyone?

Besides, how did all that land come about?

[Kilkenne]

Reg hasn't been reset in 4ish years. Maybe longer. When there's not a reset for that long, take into consideration that every single person who has ever scouted, unless their account was disabled or went on vacation with that land, has that land in the game presently.

~950 players each scout 6k land = 5.7 million, plus land farm continuously scouting for that entire time, plus people who died and revived with the same number. There should be upwards of 7 million land, of which not even half is actually circulating.

Is there a way to scale it down?

Have some bot attack everyone and go into vacation

[Drakus]

Have the programmers scale it down with code, not bots

[Kilkenne]

It's not that simple, if it was the fix would be put in place. Currently there are less active accounts than there normally are for the amount of land that is in the game. Were there 40 active players, the land would be more spread out and it'd seem more normal. The solution right now is probably a reset, but that decision has yet to be made. There might be something big coming, though. WHO KNOWS?

I <3 your optimism, but you over estimate my motivation and Shadow's amount of time that can be allotted to coding.

There's a couple ways to draw down land
Easiest way would be to have the landfarm stop scouting and drop a few acres here and there.
We could also implement a land drop on attacks, the game discards a few percent of each attack until everyone isn't landfat.  That would likely be the fastest and not very hard to code.

A reset would solve the problem though (has reg really been running for 4 years?)

[Shadow]

Most people seem to favor a reset, according to the poll I made.

And yea, it really is pretty simple, but it's not something that is a general solution so I think a reset is a much cleaner option than kludging a land drop for this specific situation.

[Drakus]

I don't like the idea of a reset, many smaller players won't know how to get back on their feet, myself included.

[Shadow]

You got where you are now once, what's to stop you doing it again?

Of course people are always willing to help if you ask questions :)

I like the big land. Helps my lizard get towers quickly.

Sevz votes no on proposition reset

[Drakus]

I thought you quit, sevz.

[Durza]

sevz says he quits often.

[Drakus]

I wouldn't be too pissed off if there was a reset, but how do we know who's who? I don't wanna have to ask everyone!

[Shadow]

Haha, it all comes out sooner or later. Plus most people don't hide identities on reg.
