Given the nature of this compettion, not buying them means you are pretty much out of luck.


To be fair, the whole competition was pretty screwed from the beginning, as you had to have the 50% XP boost + 50% from the subscription to even have a chance.


Pete: I hope you guys have some way to track base score, means before any modifiers like the subscription, boosts, population etc.

I do also hope that the 12v12v12 at the end is without any boosts or stuff.

Otherwise its not "may the best dude with plenty of time to game win", but rather "may the dude with plenty of time and plenty of money win".

Seems fair to me they've put the money in after all.

The final should surely just be the person who gets the most points in 1 hour. Anything else would be pointlessly messy.

Nah, looks like they got it sorted now. They should announce something later, just waiting for SOe confirmation on something.

....and indeed we have:

The stat tracking part will now only be done on the base score - meaning no influence from boosts or memberships.

Keeps it nice and fair this way - especially since I know some of you were debating whether or not to replace their 3 month/6 month/Alpha Squad Boosts with the +100% Hyper boosters. I appreciate all the feedback here - hopefully it shows we are listening too.

Of course everyone can still use their boosts, they just won't count towards the score tracking for this particular event.

The competition is still unfair, players in underpopulated empires have a big disadvantage! Especially now, since you only track the base score and they dont get their bonus exp from underpopulation. Its also alot easier to earn exp on woodman compared to miller. To make this competition fair you should have choose the best three players per empire per server and not the best 12 from all four eu servers.

Sadly they can't please everyone - they need to go with some kind of metric.

This is an awesome prize / event I wish my misses would let me go.

My time is going to be spent getting an outfit mate to win.

I see the usual Miller suspects in that list. Three members and one ex-member of my outfit in the top 10 actually, not too shabby.

Oh boy, no more time for slacking it seems.

Actual numbers would have been good, but from what i can tell, i gotta get up my game.
