is that the best you can do?

To be fair, it is the first thing that comes to mind. Tho I agree, it lacks creativity

You can't beat the classics. Don't fix what aren't broken!

Anyway EU_2 is mostly dead anyway, so i don't see why not.

[Austrian]

I agree on point 7.

[DonNicko]

Point 7 to top

1. Ban Panos - restarts forum drama and everyone plays game again just to spam EU1 with 'FREE PANOS'

pls no, already sold both my kidneys for new cd keys.

1- Yes
2 - Never gonna happen or would have been tweaked already
3 - I'm easy either way
4 - Need more detail on this ("fix" in what way). Nerf ranged imo
5 - People who like siege don't necessarily like Battle and vice versa. Alternating between battle and siege on one server will just mean people quit when the map type they don't like comes on, rather than stay for a few maps
6 - Not gonna happen or would have already

I'll add my own:

7 - Take measures to encourages people to retire and get into the grind again - this is something that keeps people on the servers. In particular reduce STF level and possibly add more rewards for retiring (cosmetic maybe, like unique weapon unlocks when you hit retire milestones)

1. Fix the team balance

Do they know how to revert it? Think that further messing with formula will create even more issues.

2. Remove fog/rain

Not gonna happen but I support both.

3. Remove the early flags

Yes! This was actually implemented because of that douchebag Hate_More and similar players. Because it is easier to code restrictive game mechanics such as flags than banning few douchebags.

4. Fix the class balance

Average Vangayrd member: Game is perfectly balanced.

So yeah...

5. Merge EU1/EU2

At this point it could work but I fear that it could also backfire. What if, after a month or two, we came to a point where combined EU1/EU2 pop during primetime is 30 players?

6. Daily server restarts

Didn't happen in a long time and probably not going to happen.

7. Persuade the Germans to give more money to Greece.

Yeah right. They specifically created Fourth Reich called European Union with a goal to steal money from every other European country. Probably planned by einstein and friends back in 1940s as plan B if blitzkrieg tactics fail and they lose the war. And you expect them to give anything back? You wish...

8. Profit

Where?

9. Profit

Dude, how about you give me some of that money so I can buy proper PC? Since you are bragging about it, it must be you have lotsa...

11. Remove Krems
12. More profit

[pogosan]

[bagge]

Remove DTV

[Porthos]

6. Daily server restarts

This is the only reason why I don't play anymore. I still love this game, and every fucking day I join EU servers, hoping to play some c-rpg, but all I get is the weird delay lag with the people teleporting through each other and swings coming out of nowhere
