No problem! You know that work is just a cheap excuse untill one has earned enough to buy a LA or a hangar! And a g/f just take valuable time you could have spent doing something ingame!

They are realy doing you a favour.

Promise!

Nice to hear about the L(a)G Test!

GL to the Uber Socs cause only they can have the LAs

[NetStalker]

Best place to be is at the revival to watch...interesting to see who turns up.

[timmmers]

Why the complaints? We all knew this was uber country, we can all ring in sick with a hangover so can also produce a little BS if this is important enough....and it's going to be a long battle anyway isn't it?

Being honest most of us can't afford it, haven't the skills, haven't the gear.....wouldn't last it out never mind win.

The lag is going to be horrendous with just 2 LAs for everyone to FIRE ROCKETS at ...they produce fierce lag don't they? With only 2 LAs up for grabs there is bound to be worse lag than when many are up together, so how is this a test I really don't see?

Good luck to the little guys who take part...hope some not so uber socs prove victorious. ?
About time someone not so uber won some damn thing in this game isn't it?

Personally, I feel 2 days notice is an improvement for MA. In addition, they're actually bothering to test, which is also an improvement.

Honestly, from what I learned, the previous landgrab was such an unbalenced, epic failure, that they haven't had one since. That they are brave enough to try again means a good number of different things.

1.) They have a "better" setup this time. Though better for who is definitely in question.
2.) They have the server firepower to make it "less" of an atrocity.
3.) Any number of smaller test things.

Now that said. It has to be obvious with a pair of open eyes.

This "server/rule test." Is a load of BS. Abject, unquestionable, obvious, blatent, laughable BS. What this is supposed to accomplish is the following:

-Huge decay production.
-Huge decrease in the liquid assets of the playerbase.
-Securing the position of elite societies further, and by proxy, MA's power over who gets what.

Before I continue, let me say this. The uber bashing needs to stop. Ubers are not the bad guys here, MA is. Most ubers have earned their position, or their strength. It would be a waste for them not to use it, and that they, with all they already have, want more still, only proves that they are human beings like the rest of us.

That said, likewise, this assinine philosophy of "the ubers deserve, because they spent more," has to stop. Yes, there is some legitimacy to the idea, but there is a limit.

Ubers already have, the best weapons, the best armor, the best support gear, the most options in hunting, better profit/loss ratio, economically speaking, in addition to the majority of major real estate, travel and industry. MA does NOT need to, and should not, be giving away "freebies." Nor should anyone be postulating that ubers "deserve" anything more then they have already gained.

The elite class has been constructed and has a sound foundation, it's time for MA to start paying back the thousands of not so uber players who are just as important to the economy, MAs and EUs, as the top teir. This isn't unreasonable whining, it isn't griping, or demanding "freebies" either.

The time, money and effort, put in at lower levels is not, and should not, be of less import then that at the top. Which is what is most insulting about this supposed test. It's just another freebie.

I certainly hope MA releases all LAs at once during the landgrab, otherwise it will just be another unhappy uberfest. Which again, is not an arguement against ubers. It's an arguement for the desire for balence.
