Bowser schreef:I wish there was a server where it had the rules and same troops stats for each race from stable1. From around April 2009 when i started. None of the new weapons or armor. None of the newer spells. Also the old honor and rune taking system. It would be the only server I would play.
I miss the old honor system. It was easy to use (fast) and very forgiving for newbies.
The current honor system has some very bad problems and is difficult to work with
While it does allow players to farm rune banks, it also means that a player has a VERY strong incentive not to buy runes once a single outpost has been constructed. I hold the position that a player should not be penalized for supporting the game. Of course these runes should count, but only after they have been used (i.e. a return to score-based honor calculations).
An equally strong incentive not to upgrade their castle once a single outpost has been constructed also exists. An outpost vs a main with any upgrades means that the main is going to lose runes.

Economics today is a race between economists striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof economic or financial models or programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning...
