Topic: Galaxy Restrictions?

We used to have a restriction on how many galaxies a player could play at once.  Is it worth bringing this back?

The argument I've heard it is that allowing players to play in multiple galaxies dilutes players' attention and activity.  They'll be less effective as a family member in 1 galaxy if they're also playing in 3 others.

The counter argument is that if a player wants to play in as many as they want, why shouldn't they be able to?  This should be up to the individual to decide.

This is relevant now because our 2 active galaxies are full, which is great.  However, I intend to reach out to old players to start getting more people back in and they need somewhere to play, which means we need a 3rd galaxy.

So what do you think, and why?

Re: Galaxy Restrictions?

Yes. It reduces the likelihood of a person abandoning an empire if they are not doing so well as they have a 'back-up' empire to keep them interested. Abandoning empires leaves family members at a disadvantage

Re: Galaxy Restrictions?

I voted no ... but now that I think about it, maybe make playing unlimited galaxies a Patreon perk.

Never rule out the possibility that you are a complete idiot

Re: Galaxy Restrictions?

I agree with Pickle.
Also, it wouldn't hurt to have more perks if you pay.
I don't mean an advantage over others, but this is one of those points where it would be a good perk to have if you helped IC grow.

Some people are only alive because it is illegal to shoot them.

Re: Galaxy Restrictions?

Absolutely.  This seems like a good compromise between the two options as well.

Re: Galaxy Restrictions?

But do the restrictions have to be down to just 1 galaxy? I like the idea of having MW setup as family play right now and Supernova an "Everyone for themselves" thing. If you brought a 3rd galaxy in maybe limit a player to one of each type?

Hey baby, ever do it with a felon? wink

Re: Galaxy Restrictions?

Current plan is max 2.  So everybody could do 1 regular and 1 solo, or 1 HC and 1 something else, or whatever else we have going.

Re: Galaxy Restrictions?

Well, that was fast.

Galaxy restrictions are in place at a maximum of 2 per player.  This can be bypassed by Patron Fighter level subscribers or higher.

Thanks for the quick feedback everybody, and kudos to [PW2] PICKLE ARMY for pointing out the Patreon opportunity!
