It would make self farming easier, for sure. It would encourage buyouts and also FA chains. One could create "phantom tags" that were part of a larger net gaining or warring chain for each player.

It really does nothing to level the playing field, but would allow folks who do nothing but play EE to maximize their enjoyment.

I used to run 180. By hand. And that was nothing compared to a lot of guys.

48 wouldn't be too bad excluding startups, but I don't have the time or desire to dedicate to running that many.

I like the idea of unlimited.

self-farming not allowed is stupid

I think this should be a new server separate from the old

I'm pretty sure the admins are not interested in the server costs to cover the amount of countries that server would attract. I certainly wouldn't play it, no interest in competing with people who have no lives. 16 is currently a hassle for me (in war)

In seems like a good idea until I think about the fact that when we're netting I spend up to an hour some days playing my 16 and when warring, it's over an hour and sometimes more like 2-3 hours a day between playing my own countries and hanging out in chat/being close enough to wall.

Of course, it would alleviate some of the issues that Dragon's brought up before. When people have 200 countries, they don't tend to care about every single country, so there's more land to grab that most likely wouldn't be retalled, the war clans would be even more obvious as far as who wanted to war and who didn't, so they'd be more likely to war each other, etc.

Ultimately, I play 16 because I know it puts me at equal footing with everyone else, whether it's a netter like KEtchup or a warrior like Kill4Free. If it were unlimited, I'd probably play less, because I know some people would play 200 and I couldn't keep even with them, so why bother?

Either way though, ultimately, as much as many of us are bickering about a lot of the little things on this server, I still think this server is far more fair to all players and has far fewer people trying powerplays to take over the server than 1a.

I only played a few sets in FFA back in the day, cause I didn't want to put in the time to run sooo many countries. I think I ran 25 back then....crazy. But I like FFA set up much better now. My only problem, I'll be a dad pretty soon here. And if their is another war, I will probably have to stop playing, cause it takes up too much time, and self kill runs are fail most the time.

NWs wouldn't be much more ridiculous than being able to do a buyout with 300 20k all-X countries...

Whats with all you whiney fluffes and not wanting to allow people to do things. IF you don't like it kill them for it, don't program it into the game. Stop being such whiney fluffes

agreed. i loved the old FFA of earth2025...when i was 17-20 and didnt have any real life responsibilities. and i think a lot of others are in the same boat..as we get older we just dont have as much time to spend playing games like we used to.

I would reconsider playing at all in a real unlimited server like old FFA. I was always frustrated by the fact that some clans had a similar number of people as mine, but they all had bots running hundreds of countries, and therefore made my clan less relevant. Even if it wasn't bots, I could run 100-200 maybe by hand max. and that simply wasn't enough to compete.

There are some valid pros, like landgrabbing, and more diversity on the sever. But overall, I Love 16 for everybody, because it's more than a few like 1A, but it's even and it's fair for everyone.

LMAO @ assume

you personally gave me 300 bot started countries and offered me more at other times

i never used them cuz they were built like fluff and prefered to start mine on my own, so they could actually kill OOP

i personally gave thousands and ran thousands for other people over the years....


there was a couple of different times....


1. all hand ran and in that time up to 1k was the most..
2. Bot ran, the quality of the bot improved as we tweaked it, but there is a simple time line....

Hand ran then bot ran..... i never went back to hand ran on the old server....


and yeah at times lots of countries sucked, took ages to get it running how we wanted and the countries were great once that happened, but lets face it back then it was quantity that mattered...

It's all about choice. Nothing wrong with running a 16 server and an unlimited server. The people with no lives should not be penalized by the people with lives for it. Create their own little litter box and let them have fun.

To be honest, most sets, I didn't even break the 15 limit back in E2025, but the 1-2 sets where I did so, I had MUCH more time, being a college student with my only responsibilities being the occasional test or paper.

Now, I've got a full-time job, am married and have a kid on the way. I'd imagine a lot of other people are in the same boat. Many of us that are most addicted to this game probably played during H.S. or college and now, instead of being 15 or 18 or 20, we're all at least in our late 20s or 30s and have a lot more responsibility than we used to have. At least that'd be my guess why none of us are really excited about people playing as many as they want. Heck, I'm against it currently because I'm fighting NBK, and I don't really want to hand NBK more countries because those guys are crazy and it might not end well for us. :P
