I think for punishment the German and Greek servers should be paired up because they get along so well in real life. LOL!

watchout asiastrings you might get a threaning e-mail like i did because someone got upset about me putting numbers in my post if they can put a signature to thiers i can put a number to mine 88
G_F_M what are u talking about, #'s in ur post has nothing to do with what I am about. You and director might be into this race you both have about who can post the more ...
is this what ur talking about? and pls forgive me if I've got it wrong... my heads killing me atm... and i'm disgusted with everything about Settlers..
I can't even fathom right now how BlueByte gets away with this and UBISOFT allows it ..
I cannot understand, if the servers have country control of input, why did our USA servers even agree to participate ..
is beyond me and should be answered and explained.... OR MORE IMPORTANTLY, Country's BE ALLOWED FUll Control of its OWN Content...
look I don't care about being threatened. That's all they've got on me is to ban me.. for what ? for your saying #'s... check yourself G_F_M and please don't compare me to you... i'm not male i'm female dude !!!

We haven't, but German servers have.. That is what they are talking about
From what I have seen the in the Global chat on Ares I think I get why blaming the players seems reasonable.. Right from the beginning people have been stating they are not taking part because it is pointless/no chance to win, or that they get more by selling stuff to those of us who are trying at higher then normal prices, or even that they get more by using same resources to advance their island then if they won. So yeah, a lot of people are either not helping much, not helping at all, profiteering unscrupulously or only helping in a haphazard way at best.
I also agree though that something must be seriously screwed up on how they "balanced" the servers - since if contributing economies were balanced anywhere near the way the indicated they would be then the results would not be so hugely different.
If anything this community event makes me bitter about the server I am on rather then feel like a group .. I know many, many players ARE contributing, but non-participating dead weight will prevent any possible success from occurring. The kicker of it of course is it is totally their right not to take part - they should be able to do whatever they want with the game they are playing...
If ONLY there were SOME way players who want to work together could form into some sort of separate group on a server.. an alliance of some sort.. I dunno know.. maybe like a GUILD and be judged that way instead. They bring in guild quests etc to try to get us to form guilds (because guilds tend to keep people playing online games for longer periods and reduce unsubbing) and then they do event competitions based on SERVERS instead and point out we do poorly because we are not using teamwork.. Yeah..
1) Get us to form teams (guilds)
2) Create competitions in which being on a team(guild) is irrelevant.
3) Point out we suck because we are not acting as a team.
What the hell?
As an aside, sorry if I seem so negative. I've been building 24/7 in my prov house for the event, emptying my warehouses of damned near everything - all to see it was as colossal a waste as the EOTW event was. UBIsoft seems to keep finding a way to turn "fun" events into incredibly depressing train wrecks instead.. Either find actual balance for server competitions or don't bother with them.
My questions for BB is why was the US servers linked up? That seems to go against what was reported earlier.
BB_dxTed - Thank you for responding to us and letting us know that this is being looked into.
I call BS.Quote:

PROVE ME WRONG!!! I CHALLANGE YOU TO PUBLISH THE RAW NUMBERS!!
I have seen nothing that explains how the percentages work. It appears that the whole thing was weighted in favor of the large, older servers. I also call for publication of the raw numbers and something that shows exactly how the percentages are/were calculated.Quote:
