Consolidate Worlds and Space.

I think it might be time to explore closing a world and porting existing countries to more populated ones. Obviously FB is the most popular and active country. What if there were just 2 more? Would that make for a more vibrant and engaged community of active players? Would it make countries more valuable? It could increase conflict, but it could also increase cooperation.

I think the same could be said about space. There are a lot of space stations with a lot of empty space.

I would not be opposed to the consolidation of all the worlds into 2 (one for normal play, one for war play), since the community is so small (probably less than 500 people). I have no idea if this would be something easy to accomplish though. As a software engineer, I doubt it.

that would reduce the source of income for the game

also would reduce diversity

so the right answer is probably never

ill just throw my 2 cents in, i'd love for there to be fewer worlds. 1 war and 1 normal would be ideal. figuring out how to merge them would suck, but im not sure how it would reduce the bottom line for the gamemaster as the same amount of countries and what not would exist.

player owned countries* that is

The question is how many people have investments on more than one world?

If someone is playing on say 3 different worlds how would you consolidate them?

Might be easier to restrict new members to WG or FB registrations. That would probably achieve eventual consolidation and overcome the logistical issue of merging. (until those other worlds become unpopulated, then moving a small number of people over would be easier)

Restrictions on new registrations would allow existing players in "restricted" worlds to monopolize those markets. There really isn't a problem here with the different available worlds.

If you want a more active world, go to WG or FB right now. Players who keep expanding their econ eventually branch out to multiple worlds.
