Open up two galaxies in rotation, kill infini

[I_like_pie]

Infinitum, as designed, isn’t going anywhere. It did just receive a shake up though with Infinitum Update 2020.1.

We can however still open more galaxies, but we need more players before it we can do it without negatively impacting current competition:

@I_like_pie

The interest is clearly there for another galaxy to open. However, we need more players overall before we can support this without diluting competition in current galaxies and/or burning out our current players. This is the same reason for recently Suspending Custom Galaxies.

Let’s aim for a collective goal and incentive: as soon as we end a MW round with at least 100 players, we will open another galaxy.

Don’t wait for somebody else to help grow the game: it’s within your power to bring in new (and returning) blood! Contact your old IC buds, and/or bring in new peeps and help get em through virgo and into MW mid-round.

If we all give it some word-of-mouth hustle we’ll get there before we know it! A fresh galaxy is waiting.

As for this:

@Zeraph

Dont argue or give reasons it wont work, just put it in effect and see what happens, no cost, no loss.

@Zeraph

Whats the hold up then? Implement costs NOTHING. The server is allready powered on and online.

MW suffered because we ran too many new galaxies last year. There is always a cost, even if it isn’t financial, and there is always a risk of loss.

To mitigate both, we can add another galaxy once we hit that 100 EoR mark in MW.

The concern is a valid one with regard to having somewhere to go, especially for new players. Infinitum is being adjusted to better serve that purpose, but in the meantime we can’t repeat our past mistakes.

More galaxies isn’t always better. It can be, but it isn’t right now.
