That's not good.....but why has this only become a problem very recently? I don't see too many new players joining every day and uploading avatars? O.o

[5:22:14 PM] Jake Thompson/Stormfront: forum update on avatars...
[5:22:20 PM] Jake Thompson/Stormfront: lol
[5:22:40 PM] Jake Thompson/Stormfront: apparently 10 GB's is too much data for every avatar using person on BD
[5:23:05 PM] Dan Lukerwaftle: tell BD devs
[5:23:06 PM] Dan Lukerwaftle: to

the website is not like a computer when u can plug the USB and copy all the files over...

basically, more server size = more money needed and longer load time.

Can't you guys reset the avatars in a way so that nobody has an avatar and must reapply one???.....idk I think it would seem as a way that would help.....

1.5 Million users? How many of them are actually active? because it doesn't seem like there's 1.5 million people playing the game, with only an average of 2,000 colonies per server......

Why not delete inactive accounts? What are you going too do in the future when BattleDawn gets bigger? Disable more features to save space?

you could do that or just find a way to delete everyone's avatars in synchronization then enable avatars again so that the people who actually do play Battle Dawn still would only use their avatars......idk
