Help us, your our only hope.

This crisis is specified to the Harshlands server, the problem doesn't seem nearly as bad on any other server. The Harshlands server is monopolized by one faction time and time again, every map reset it begins again, the faction reformed under a different name. Currently, if you look at the map, a small handful of regions are left, which as time has shown will be controlled by this faction within the time restraint it takes to declare war on each. The factions name is Catalyst, which beforehand was known as Zulu, and before that others..so on..etc..yawn. The faction is comprised of the servers most seasoned players, often being called the "endgame" faction because no one can stand up to it. Because of the grossly absurd map domination, the economy is under their whim. With their large revenue, the low gold is bought out immediately and then of course resold to the server at higher amounts, keeping the gold at a standard 1.6-1.7 even on a crappy sale. not to mention their particular lusts for cube necks b:cry causing the cost of a STAMP to edge to 200mil. DoDs are still missing for questioning b:laugh Aside from in-game economy, the PVP zones have been broken down to large chat rooms with target practice scurrying past every so often. An often shouting in normal chat is "oh hell no, cata is here" followed by a prompt serpentine barrel roll into safe-zone. Ingame..this wont change. They hold the majority of r9s/ high refined characters that have been playing together for almost 3 years now, and the lure of money (sadly) pulls in MORE high equipped people. There is no hope to fix this by people in server...They hold all the power, every faction whose tried has failed. Its no contest, there wont be an uprising, and darn it they have no death star for us to blow up.

Now enough about our hopeless problem.. How about a solution. (Not really but, it would HELP)

We need, 1- A map reset. Not that this alone is going to solve anything, all it's going to do, is put a band-aid on it till it gets to this point again.
2- We need something along the lines of a limit to how many lands they can own. TW is suppose to be something fun for any lvl 3 faction to be able to have fun in. What is the point is bidding on Cata when they're full of R9's that even with a 3 stack they can send 20+ R9 +12's in.

I mean, with the amount of money that they pull in weekly, the only surprise here is that noone has writen this sooner.

Noting that, it's not just the money, it's when you take 50 people that have known eachother, played together, TW after TW together for 3 years, they work well together.

Our server isn't going to fix its own problem, because it can't. People gear up with the intention of fighting them, but end up joining them or at the very least not attacking them. If you fight off one, you better move, because they come in hoards. Not to mention almost anyone would side with a Cata for fear of being attacked themselves. (I'm even guilty of that)

Wow, I missed my point. Okay, we need a Limit to how many lands one faction can own. Like... 10 or something. I don't care. But what this would do is it would allow other factions to be able to hold land, and make money without fear of being smited by the Gods of our server.

Might I say, that calling them Gods is a little bit of an over statement. Mostly because once you get full R9 the ego trip never comes full circle, its a sad statement to make but time and time again egos are boosted to dangerous (sometimes Q.Q worthy) levels.

So in sort. We need help.b:surrenderb:surrender
