Further PvP/Ladder

Oh my God! How is this still an issue.... Kat, you think the mini-Ladder's the way to go. I disagree, and others do, also.

It's whatever. If you're so set on it, try.

I'd still think weekly KB, at least. 2v2s, 3v3s.. Whatever for Tourneys with random-ish prizes can still peak some interest, and some zone events, to incorporate some others who shy away from Arena, so they can better mesh when possible. That'd be a way to keep interest up and not compete with this ladder proposal.

You already know that with enough teams, there will be a lot of heavy competition on the lower end of the ladder, and that's what you wanted. Everyone getting a shot, etc.

Also, on a side note, the smaller events can draw a more diverse crowd, because there's no immediate commitment. They're also easier to organize. The only pain is having to advertise each specific event, but if people get used to *something* always going on, they'll know where to look aside from random spamming in AC/PvP Zones.

Anyway. Just what I think, but I'm an idiot. <3

Woah

Convenient votes for test with FreedUmb as backup.

I think we have all learned in the past that test is horribly unreliable. I know the guy's that have been around awhile know. I mean you can try test...but don't be upset when two day's later Test goes down because they added jog and had to close down test....

Also, I think we should just have a rule that says something like

"All matches will take place on the test server. If test is not available on the date of the event, matches must be rescheduled on Freedom within a week of the original set date."

Basically, what we need to prevent is the ladder coming to a stand-still because of test's erratic uptimes; challenges need to be expedited; and that's how we can use freedom. If test goes to closed beta, then we can go on and play on Freedom of course, but live servers should not be where a ladder takes place.

Let's take the crap to another thread, this one is already unproductive enough.
