2 Starsonatas, multiple varints.
So people have suggestions on having 2 Starsonata's at once and in some ways that would be interesting:
1. The most popular is having C1/C2 which on the surface seems ok but not right now. Having 1 of the old and 1 of the new is something for a bigger playerbase.
2. Well I'm used to having a reset every few months but I've heard from people that they would like to play on a uni that never ends. Well never ending is a bit extreme but how about a uni that lasts for 2 years. Having the one with normal resets and another one that lasts 2 years, I might play them both.
3. Do you like the UI in C2 but nothing else? Regular C1 and C1X(or C1b or C1 jr or,.....?), C1 with the C2 UI. Well I'm going to give C2 a chance but if I don't like it I could seeing going to C1X.
I know there are technical problems with the above but this is just about what if?
Ok, now lets hear your ideas.....

Re: 2 Starsonatas, multiple varints.
I think it would be cool to have a ladder system inspired by Diablo II, where a rapidly resetting server lets people win stuff for their main accounts by how they perform on new temp characters. It would also let people who've gotten a bit bored of the game make a fresh start and still have a chance to improve their main accounts a bit. I'm not sure what sort of rewards the ladder server would give but there's plenty of stuff on the table, such as being able to add mods to items (even Oly built ones, perhaps), neurobind gear for a modest improvement in stats, and so on.
This is inspired by the general good reception of the C2 beta; it seems lots of established players really enjoyed the chance to start fresh along with everyone else. I'm envisioning a system where it's not required by any means to play on the ladder, but players might spend a bit of time there just for variety's sake and maybe the chance to get a cool reward on the real server.

Re: 2 Starsonatas, multiple varints.
Starting over with everyone as noobs (although there's still some fine tuning to make it not so stressful) was by far the most fun I've had playing this game. =D

Re: 2 Starsonatas, multiple varints.
doubt 2 servers will ever happen unless the playerbase increases 10 fold

Re: 2 Starsonatas, multiple varints.
They had Ladder and Non-Ladder. Non-Ladder didn't reset, Ladder got new exciting content to play with. Players could choose to play casually and long term or highly active short term with challenges.

sabre198 wrote: doubt 2 servers will ever happen unless the playerbase increases 10 fold We had Test, Beta, Alpha and Liberty all going at once. This means they are already running multiple Uni's and not needing a 2nd, 3rd or 4th game 'server'. They could any time they wanted to, they just choose not to.

If I wasn't clear, I was suggesting that SS have both Ladder and Non-Ladder servers, and went into how the two could be differentiated. You'd want both to have uni resets periodically, but the Ladder server would also wipe characters to let people start fresh -- seems like a lot of players really enjoyed the chance to do that.

Re: 2 Starsonatas, multiple varints.
I wasn't disagreeing with you, but not everyone has played the game before and might not understand your reference?
