This is the perfect argument for enforcing the limit no matter how many are online...



And who do you you think they are all attacking?

The numbers for Knights have been ugly like this most USA mornings M-F from 04:00 EDT to around Noon.  Its been like this for almost a year now.


I have started at least two threads addressing it and have replied in at least 6 others like yours.  

HiTech is just ignoring the situation.  The current way ENY works in the MA with it not kicking in untill 200 people are online is a joke.  Why HiTech refuses to address this issue is unknown.

I quess they tried lower then 200 ENY activation numbers in the past and there was alot of crying from the sides that were retricted.   But, i agree with you compleatly, and would like to see ENY Minimum Activation requirement reduced to 100.

   I am betting that HiTech will just ignore this post like he has the last dozen on this subject, he is set in his ways and does not want to experiment with a lower ENY activation threshold.  I think his reasoning is the shorthanded side will balance out over time.  All I know it has been close to a year with the knights being heavely short handed in the early mornings, and with no help from ENY it really sucks!!!!

   NHawk,

   We all know the Bish and Rooks are Gentelmen and would never take advantage of such a numbers mismatch against the Knights.  

   I am sure at least 4 rooks/bish were fighting each other, so it was probably only 100 Bish/Rook against 20 Knights that morning.

  P.S.  -  Thank you Bish/Rooks for not taking advantage of this situation when it occurs every damn morning in the MA.  We Knights really appreciate the fact that it is only 100 vs 20 instead of 104 vs 20.  

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I know i probably shouldnt be replying to this.....


The reason ENY limit only starts at 200 players online is a *statistical* one. Mathematics. If less players are online, just ONE player logging on or off would make a significant change in relative numbers and maybe indice limitations.... End result: Things would get "unfair". Could the number maybe lowered just a bit? Probably. But that wouldnt change the gameplay (just increase the whines) and in a few weeks wed be asking for another reduction.


Oh, and Hitech isnt *ignoring* anything. He just cant *make* people even out the numbers. Every suggestion ive seen so far would heavily LIMIT someones gameplay - something HT simply cant do if he wants to keep his customers. "Its your 14.95".




And on a last note: I have changed country to Bish not that long ago, because they got heavily ganged by Knits..... numbers fluctuate, they always have. You just notice it more when youre on the recieving end.

I have only once gone to another country, the Rooks for one night for a vacation, because even when there are only 20 knights against 80, they STILL ARE TOO DAMNED RETARDED TO WORK TOGETHER AND GET ANYTHING DONE BECAUSE THEY ARE SO GHEY THEY CAN ONLY THINK OF THEIR OWN SCORE AND NOT THE GREATER GOOD!!! :furious :furious :furious

(Yes, that upsets me if you couldnt tell) and I think things should be mixed up. Force a bunch of random rooks and bish, or just those with high perk points, and switch them with low perk point knights. I noticed on the Rooks, they were (no offense) very ritcheous and assuming. They were great guys, but they were so used to winning, their greatest concern wasnt whether or not they would beat the bishops to the Knight territory, (Even though bish were damned close to beating the knights) but whether or not they would get the perks when they one. Again, this is no offense to the rooks, you are all very nice people, and sometimes friendlier than some knights, but you know nothing else. I think we should have the winners become loosers, and the losers become winners, just so everyone can see how the other half lives. And that is all I have to say about that.

We´re flyin for the Greater Good? What is it - world peace or feeding all the hungry children? I always thought we fly for fun...

And btw, what has any sexual alignment to do with flying for score? If I´m "ghey", am I required to fly for score? I think that would suck :D

1. It's a freaking game.
2. I have seen this before.
3. My $ 14.95 will be spent for what I deam proper game play.
4. If I want to fly around and face shoot you in an La 7 I will,(which I don't)
but just the same, that is any paying memembers perogative to do so.
5. If you find yourself getting to caught up in this "GAME" back away from the keyboard.:huh

I know, its just annoying to be sitting at a base with one other knight and say, "We need help at 144 fast!" there are over 50 knights on line and no one comes. I die, and then the other guy does. "Field 144 has been captured by the rooks". Now imagine that every 5 minutes!
