I just hope this is NOT an April fools event haha otherwise I'd like to play here just like many others
It's been scheduled for April, not so we can troll you little newbs into buying a bunch of tokens and have nowhere to spend them, but rather so the beginning of the era hits with Easter holidays. Don't worry.. We're not that mean. (:

I guess all i am ultimately saying is that I would give more respect to a team that won a world where there was no boost option....
I did say that they should just charge a $10 entry fee. If 1000 players join, thats 10k and if 2000+ players it is 20k which i think most would agree such a server would attract that many players and possibly more.....
Then u got 2000 players with equal skin in the game ($10) and 100% chance fair chance at winning. U take the "boosted to win" argument and throw it out the window. The winners of this era are truly the master of the game.... it is just a once a year thing, can't it afford to be different? I am not saying all of BD should switch to this structure but I think adding some variety into something touted as a "championship server" deserves to stand out.
Or better yet, Host both server ideas. One with the current boost scheme and one with an entrance fee and no boosting. Then at the end, see which one earned the most money and which players are considered more elite and skilled.....i think we all know the answer to the 2nd part
I think the big boosters are scared to level the playing field with the active people all over the world who maybe be smart strategist, be active and have even achieved marks on regular worlds but lack the financial backing to even be invited to a team on a server such as this.....
and yes, i would even pay $20 to join a server like this.... do the math, the money is there.... and i know a lot of players who might feel reinvigorated about this game if such competitions where available....

stay classy BattleDawn,
The thing is.. If you charge $10 for an era like this, I really doubt 1k or 2k people will play. This era might have 1k people or more actively playing yes, but many of those won't boost one single bit. I know that I for myself am not buying reds either and am still playing. However, there will be some that boost a LOT on this era. I am assuming there will be millions of tokens boosted, and I am genuinely not exaggerating with my estimate. One million tokens costs about $15000 to buy, several millions would mean $15000 * ... . fill in your estimate. That compared to an era where you have people buy-in at $10 or $20, you would in the case of $20 at least 750 people buying in to break even with the very low estimate of 1 million reds boosted.
I can see why they would pick option 1 (no buy-in) over option 2. And to be fair, I believe option 1 is more fair to non-boosters. You do not need to pay anything to play, and realistically there will be so many mass boosts that you'll actually be able to get a huge army without boosting.
Therefore I believe this system (for a champions era) is more fair both to non-boosters and to Tactisoft.

if it's a p2p server, I'd guess there will be at most 300 players, and with 300 players there will be a lack of conquers and newbies' OPs. That means less income, boredom will come next as there is no fun in having a war with 50 squads in the alliance...
