i fully agree on the fact that battleships should be rare, but then again, what is the main reason there not? the cash... i can make my very own battleship in only 1 week... and thats starting from scratch... so tell me... how does it work... we need to limit them, i see on obvious reason... make the price INSANELY high in time the capship problem will start to grow... but untill then we have the time to find new ways to limit them..:)
I am all in for a char wipe.. but i know im gonna be flamed for 3 years if i even suggest this to ANY admin... i played multiple online games, where the main goal was to achieve an RP goal... most of the goals were getting rich, getting mansions in every corner of the world, having the biggest baddest and meanest ships, cars, plane's... With every new version, or even when a certain amount achieved the goals, the entire player directory was WIPED CLEAN... that means.. all but really ALL players had to start from scratch... the first 5 players who were able to setup a decent family/faction/guild/clan would recieve a 200 mil bonus for the creation and startup of that family/faction/guild/clan and it worked great...
even newbies who just joined made a chance to become one of the mightiest players... even though there were a handfull of Ranking whore's (sorry for choice of words) who played 36 hours straight to and teamed up with others to get to the needed level for a family/faction/guild/clan and thus claiming the 200mil cash reward.... but even then the odds werent allways against you...
Maybe reconsider the active thoughts on how players develop troughout the game... A player wipe every once in a while isnt a bad thing... its a way to ensure that all players start equal when a new version or release comes along...
...Now let the flaming against poor old me begin.. *hides in corner*
