Procedure for abandoning countries

Hi,

Today when somebody drops a country it is simply deregged. I suggest to change it and move country to the auction instead first.

The owner of the country would become w3c and anybody in the game would be able to acquire it by winning the auction. The procedure would only apply for countries with some higher value.

This would allow people to buy back their countries after lost wars and also ensure that most developed countries are staying in the game when players leave. From w3c point of view that would be a new source of income as players would spend gold coins on this new feature.

Seems like a good idea.
will require quite some work to develop and I am not sure it will be used a lot.

we will discuss it here.

you should realize that we have developed many functions on request that ended up unused.

One of the worst ones was the development of the competition world that ended up with three takers.

we are making an effort to get a good estimate of the use of new features before we make them.

there are many we already comitted to and are trying to schedule ASAP.

All depends on the concept, if concept is good players will play. Competition world was good idea and bad concept of implementation, this game is played by somewhat more clever people so they calculate all steps forward. Most of the things are not difficult to fix, but they require you changing the current thinking. Many years back the game had less functionality or automation, but was more interesting to play, so development not always improve stuff.
