lets vote on it....make the new protection where you may only attack someone 5x above or below you...period. see this will make it where only newer players can hit targets in their range and so forth. of course the top players will not like this but it is needed. i have seen the top players with millions and moillions of fleet points look for someone with 50k fleet points and hunt them till they took the 50k fleet now yes u should have enough knowledge to keep your 50k fleet but you will not have enough knowledge as someone with 20 mil plus fleet.......i vote yes

There are two ways to look at this...
1. Yes, improving the protection would amplify the support a new(er) player would have and result in more competition at that level.

2. It would also increase the desire for players to take on the "supernoob" style of play.

This could go either way. I vote no strictly because I am starting to see players take on this role in speed too and I feel as though this would become an epidemic.

BOOOOM! Hits that nail firmly on it's head.

any non multi million voters? all you guys worry about is super noobs if you need targets so bad stop trying to hit lttle players and split your alliances up and fight each other as all the top players is in the same alliance. fact is thats to much of a risk so lets try to continue how we been. problem is as zorg stated the numbers are down. its time for a change, like it are not you big players can not be catered too and expect change cause you will still be here but zorg is trying to get NEW ppl here not you, stop looking at it from your point of view and look at it from a new players point of view.


o no i see super noobs but wait i cant kill them, lets not fight the other top players but cry cause we cant kill the super noobs....you guys make super noobs. its a player with 50000 rips and you really think its fair to someone at 100k to face that, gtfoh. at 100k you can have lvl 25 metal mine 25 crystal 20 deut mine lvl 20 shipyard nanite 5 and some reasearch.....no fleet included, it doesnt take much to be at 100k points.


id be happy if zorg raised the protection to 1 mil like in standerd ..x needs it.

I can understand with what you are saying with regards to raising new player score protection. Personally, I would agree with you.

Don't think though that because some of us have more points than a lot of other players that we are only interested in protecting our own vested interests. New player protection is great. Some would argue that I am only interested in fattening up those sacred cows for the slaughter.

More players staying in the game is the point we should all be aiming for. With regards to my last point though, players reaching those scores would become more hunted than otherwise. As well as having this new protection they would also need to LEARN. Unfortunately, there are some that don't or won't. One in particular I have tried to help, I will not mention his name. He flatly refuses. Gets to within a few points of 1 million points and then he's set back several hundred thousand points, yet again. Is there a way that these players can learn before this proposed heightened protection expires?

yes it is called they must want to learn, not all players will. however 1 mil points will give them more time to as you can hit 200k in a week or at least i did. how can someone learn all there is and perfect the art of the game in a week. you cant.

I am sorry but you probably reached 200k points because of all the rubies you bought. Not all players are going to invest money into this game in the first week.

Lol, regardless of this. The point is new player point protection.

see zorg i told you people talk **** cause i buy rubies. if i could zorg my i post your pm to me stating how without it this game could not run, so really instead of hating( i still recivv pm in game of people calling me names for buying rubies) they should be happy someone is investing into the game. it does not matter if i brought rubies are not, even without rubies i could hit 200k in 2 weeks top easy. 2 weeks is still not enough time to learn everything and get good at fleetsaving.

I'm sorry I did not mean to come across as an ***. I simply was trying to state that the reason you grew so much within the first one to two weeks was because of the money you spent on rubies. Personally, I have never bought rubies. I do not have the money as I am in college to do so. However, I raid 2 billion a week and I make the extra effort to make sure that my fleet, and planets stay safe.
