The reset isn't going to occur until the new updates are ready, and they have been scheduled for May. I don't have permissions to modify the core, and most of the security measures needed to secure the game from cheaters require doing so. The Army Core was not designed as a stand alone RPG but rather an add-on to the forum, and thus really wasn't designed with hard-core cheaters in mind. I pmed Polix as to what is necessary for security, but it will take time. Essentially what this requires is to modify the Army Core into some kind of FrankenCore. The updates might get done sooner than May, but don't count on it.

 

There are three options with transfer services:

1) Unlimited Transfers

2) No Transfers

3) Edit the core

 

Unless the core can be edited, there will likely be no transfers at all next month. Also, I'd like to put a cap on the number of race changes, but since that also requires editing the core, new players will start with no resources and will have to post for initial supplies. Thus the era of people spamming the forums for points might very well return. There are two more updates that I feel need to occur, but I won't mention them because it involves a type of cheating that to my knowledge has not occured yet, and I don't want to give the cheaters any new ideas.

 

Point being, a bunch of very pointless and annoying updates will occur just to prevent "intelligence" as Shock put it. I know most of the ways people cheat in the serious versions of these games and the settings of the Army Core simply cannot be modified to prevent all of them. If cheating occurs next month, we might have to remove the game entirely.

 

 

If you people want to, I could salvage this round if I edit the settings so that while no one will lose their stuff, the game will become much more compe!@#$%^&*ive. All it would take is to add a few zeros to the end of some values.

Well, I guess that's it then. No transfers next month.

 

I'm used to thinking in clan vs. clan terms. In those situations, transferring doesn't inherently improve a clan's position. All it can do is increase the strength of one player at the cost of another player, or it can move resources to or from the clan's unofficial supporters and their registered members. Either way the clans' true strength remains unchanged.

 

I'm also unused to selflessness in RPGs. Most MMORPG players are immature pricks who wouldn't consider seperating themselves from their stats for anything less than real currency. The possibility of one player giving up his stats to another player is unheard of in the major MMORPGs. I've underestimated how mature Continuum players can be.

 

Thus, next month transfers will be disabled pending an actual clan ranking system. To replace it commander/recruit options will be added.

There's always too much chance for abuse, no matter how the transfer system is done. I mean, look how much I'm dominating just because of my beloved Penises helping me out. I vote for absolutely no transfers of any kind. It kinda sucks, and I wish there was a foolproof way of doing it, but I don't think there is. It's nice to be able to help out the people who aren't doing as well in my clan, but in the end, I suppose it would probably just be better to teach them how to do better by themselves, anyway.

 

But, um... you mind explaining this commander/recruit system?

By commander and recruit, u mean like the real KoC?

 

If i remember correctly, you can have players to be your commander and you get a bonus or benefit for being their commander. And the recruit gets "protection" from the commander or something like that. Not too sure

Just to smite you...

161 shields, 45 thors (because I sold them all prior to this) and 5k members just came from me.

and I believe 100 of both thors, and shields, and over 3k members from dark.

 

We just transfered it to holes' account, and I intend to get anyone I can to transfer their stuff to him, so pouch you for this topic. smile.gif Thanks.

Lol, you're still BSing about how much attack you have. I still have more defense than you. You lost way more attacks than you won, and you don't have the soldiers to continue attacking like that. Besides, you still think 33 mil is a lot... and I always put my money in the bank. You haven't affected me in the least. The only reason I had so much cash is just because I make it that quickly.
