Easy solution besides banning all of NA:

Wipe Strategus again (due to the larger map and shoving EU on one side and NA on another side).

Make Calradia bigger to help solve the "crowding issue" since new Strat has significantly more players and clans then old Strat did. EDIT: For clarification I support crowded maps as that causes wars. I do not however support maps that are overcrowded, and currently c-RPG is overcrowded on Strategus.

When joining Strategus ask the player "Are you NA or EU?." Depending on what option the player clicks will determine which side of Calradia he randomly spawns on, this way the middle still has messed up time battles but people can still beat each other up as they please, and one side is just EU and one side is just NA...


 This way "critical mass" is still possible for the game, and it is entirely optional if a clan wants to venture towards the middle where the gigantic NA VS EU timezone clusterfuck is, or just stick on their side of the fence. The best part is, this will 1.) still allow friends to play together, and 2.) naturally set the "clusterfuck neutral zone" without worrying if one side has too small of a population for the continent or not as players will set the "zone."

Problems include making new maps and new names, but names could be easily done in a few days (I could volunteer), enlarging Calradia is a matter of photoshop so there is only a few minutes, and new maps could be solved by using pre-existing villages and slowly making custom maps to slowly get rid of duplicates.


Remember to say why if you disagree with the idea... Otherwise this will keep popping back up to annoy you week after week, month after month.

EDIT:
Actually, this is what is planned, more or less.
The difference is that travelling across the border means you have to fight on enemy servers, no matter the attacker/defender.
DISCLAIMER:
In case you have missed the obvious, this is not a 100% original idea and is a result of me thinking about a collection of ideas, picking the best parts of them, putting it all together, modifying it so it fits properly with itself, and added a wee bit of my own ideas to the mix. In other words, for those who need it in extremely simple terms: THIS IS NOT A 100% ORIGINAL IDEA.

PS: If you really needed me to type this out, you are a equus africanus asinus since no other thread has ever needed to type this out as everyone knows almost every single suggestion  thread on these forums draws inspiration or heavily borrows from something else... and by You I mean Jambi.





DISCLAIMER FOR MY DISCLAIMER: The entire disclaimer above was written entirely in jest and should not be taken seriously at all. Period.

I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.

The devs probably already got a solution for this in the new strategus.

Sounds great!!!,  So when are the new features going to start slowly filtering into strategus?

Wookimonsta - I like your chadz quote, but not as much as Tears' quote on the "who are the best crpgs player" thread under general discussion.

Who's laughing now?

@Keshian: They are not going to be filtered in. This reboot of the old strategus is a warm up and will be wiped completely when the new one comes out. There is no update for this one coming at all, maybe a small bugfix if someone exploits, but that's probably it.

To be honest, splitting the communities would also solve the overcrowding problem.

Eh, it was a pick-and-choose of several ideas put into one and small modifications, I agree not that terribly original. I mainly put it together because I was "cherry-picking" what parts I liked and did not like so I could present it all at once, and made it a pretty colour and a new thread for it so people could see it instead of having to trudge through this entire wearysome thread.

Secondly, might I point out that I do not have an ego boosted, as chadz pointed out in his post that (paraphrasing here) something similar was already under consideration. The "somehting similar" shows that the exact "idea" was not taken, and the "already under consideration" bit showed that it had nothing to do with me...

Where did I say I was getting an Ego boost?  :rolleyes: I already feel good about some aspects of myself regardless of what happens on the internet, and I did not do anythign about "An oppertunity to suck chadz is *&^#." as we are most assuredly not butt buddies (to put it in South Park terms). Have you missed perhaps all the times I have antagonized the devs during my two month spree of idiotic over-the-top trolling that occured a bit ago that netted me this shweet custom title?

Good sir, I do believe you have not the faintest clue what is going through my head, what with the assumption that I was under an Ego Boost and feeling good about myself for blah blah blah blah blah  :lol:

What I was feeling when I posted that was just amusement.

Please, pray tell, what else am I thinking or feeling? I would love to know what else you can invent for me  :lol: :lol: :lol:

Complete fail on reading what I said dude...

Strictly speaking the exact details of this "thread" are unique enough that it is my idea in the sense that this is my thread. However, I already Freely pointed out that this was just a summary of the "best" parts of other people's ideas that I liked...
 :rolleyes:

Stop reading so much into what I type. I am not taking credit for anything besides a few-tongue-in-cheek statements that you should be familiar enough with given the time you have spent on these boards with me. This was not 100% original, nor is it meant to be... I started a new topic because I did not take someone's idea wholesale, and instead borrowed and put together a bunch of people's ideas and slightly modified, and then created a new topic WITH A POLL to see how specifically people reacted and thought of it.

I think ToD is smart enough to know it wasnt his idea alone.
The logic of war seems to be that if a belligerent can fight he will fight.
