Denied [All Main Servers Suggestion] Separate ranks and prestiges.

-1

Would be an absolute monumental project in my opinion, requiring backdating of pretty much every app since reset, as well as pretty much having to rebuild the entire permissions system.

How would current ranks be converted? Resident apps don't state where the ranking server is. Would these be grandfathered to all servers, or reset, or something else?

As for towns, what happens in the case of a user getting a town on one server in mayor rank, and then getting their president town on a different server. Would they be president on both? Or mayor on one server and president on another? Or even mayor on both servers?

As for ecolegend prestige not following on all servers, again, I can imagine this requiring a complete rework of the permissions regarding prestiges (with the current system not factoring in what prestige actually got, instead just being prestige1, prestige2 etc.). This would no doubt require going back over hundreds of apps.

All in all, from a purely technical aspect, I potentially cannot see this as even doable, instead just expanding on already a bloated permissions set used on ECC.

As for my personal view on the suggestion as a whole, I still -1 this. Why should users be locked into one server. Travel bags and forum bank exists to try and break down the walls between servers. Forcing people to play just one server sets back any work done to try and intergrate servers more.

 

-1 using myself as an example, I almost never leave the main server, so this would change nothing. If anything, this would divide the community more and make those few people who split servers need to make a choice on which one they want to make their personal main. ME will absolutely die as an economy, MN will most likely be filled with the new players and some of the vets and rich, and Main will be too packed. Plus, everyone would try to flock to main since that would be the money-making server.

You would also need to disable /tb since everyone would try to ferry their items to the economy that is actually thriving. This will most likely cause a district system between a rich server, middle class server, and poor server, and give those with the /tb feature a super advantage over featureless players

Also, as a result, this would probably further extend the gap between the Uber rich, the semi-rich, and the poor, which would be super not helpful right now

 

-1 for all of the reasons stated above. I don't want to have to pretty much start from scratch again on MN and ME just to get to the same place I am on M. It goes against the whole cohesion of the Main Network.

 

-1 Practically impossible to implement
