The EU servers smell funny, you don't want to play there

*Opens helmet* Snap out of it Steelclaw! *whack* *Closes helmet*
What tournament is this?
@Winter. Because I'm Winter. Period.
I am a blaster first, and an alt-oholic second.
1) Put hands over ears.
2) Do not look at the server list for the new servers when you log in.
3) Speaking loudly, say "I CAN'T HEAR YOU LALALALA!"
4) ?????
5) Profit!
I sincerely wish you good luck with your break down.

Thanks to @EnsonsDeath for the GVE code that made me VIP again!
I'll say it again, make a separate European tournament. See, the pre-existing tournament is the Superbowl and the other one is the World Cup. See? Both football tournaments, but totally different. That'll work, right?

Steelclaw, I just had an idea. Instead of restarting your teams when there's a major change to the game, could you just develop a conversion algorithm to give a weighted comparison between teams that started with different game mechanics in place? It would probably have to include things like the level of the character when a certain mechanic was put in place, amount of time spent playing the character both before and after the game change, and other factors as well.
This way, you don't have to delete characters, and it should be quite complex. Win/Win!
Gawd!

I think I've hit upon a solution... if ... and I mean IF... I decide to expand out to 15 teams of tourna-minty goodness... I'll just do nothing but play those teams over and over again until they've had as many turns as the existing ones...
No deletion...
No permanent mental damage...
..
....
.... okay.. no ADDITIONAL permanent mental damage
My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw
Just to let you know, if you log in on the German and French servers, the entire game will be in German or French, interface and mission text included, so if you can't speak those languages, you have a decent excuse to just add two new teams.

I read your tournament and my mind got fuzzy.
What exactly are you trying to do? Without making me feel dumber then I already feel put it in easy to understand words.
<-------yes is blonde in RL. :P
Cancel the kitchen scraps for widows and lepers, no more merciful beheadings and call off christmas!
Honestly, Steelclaw... push that 41 to 50. Really. You've been at this so long. Get one to 50. Take a break from the tournament and make the drive to end-game.
I say this not to push you from your enjoyed method of playing, but to keep you sane and get you the milestone you deserve (seriously, after all this restricting you deserve it).
My guides:Dark Melee/Dark Armor/Soul Mastery, Illusion Control/Kinetics/Primal Forces Mastery, Electric Armor
"Dark Armor is a complete waste as a tanking set."
Wanted: Origin centric story arcs.
If you've only played an AT once (one set combo) and "hate" it - don't give up. Roll a different combo. It may just be those sets not clicking for you.

Steelclaw is one of those people who gets bored with "simple" systems such as CoH and so overlays his own more complex system to keep it interesting.
Steel... Or is it Mrs. Nesbit?
Either way...
GET THEM ALL TO LEVEL 50!!
And graduate to the new tournament!!
The Post 50 Incarnate Tournament!
If/when they make changes to the Incarnate content/systems...
All you need to do is unslot the powers and have at it all over again (with the 50s).
Yah?

That actually seems like a really good idea. Then he can develop a whole new set of rules... wait then his tournament is reliant on others. That seems slightly counter to the idea. Maybe two seperate tournaments one incarnate one not?

Steelclaw you have a good solution there and several good suggestions has been given to you (I do NOT want you to restart your tournament).
It was said: Two of the european servers are on german and french, if you do not speak either of those two, then for the sake of your tournament, do not make chars there.
Treat the 2-4 new servers as a tournament of their own.
or since they are late comers into your tournament...
Give them some bonus (I'm sure the rest of your tournament league would say: "IT is FAIR") so that they come up to par with the rest of your teams.
Also, I'm sure they would not be happy with restarting it themselves... "soo close... to lvl 50!"
Also I do like the suggestion of making a new tornament, it was mentioned as Incarnate league. How about the high levels team and their track to lvl 50 and incarnates?
You could have the little toddlers league (the normal tournament you have now) and since a few of your chars have reached highness, they are the representatives for the high tournament.
Tossing in suggestions here so that you can experience some of the incarnate and high lvl stuff too Steelclaw. (oh nice suggestion Electric)

Adeon gets +10 Steelclaw Merits (redeemable at any Snowcone Stand in the Antarctic) for correctly stating my reasons for this curse of a tournament.
I actually DO have rules in place for 50th level characters that are inclusive of the non-50s rather than making it a separate tournament for them... no "Members Only" clubs for me.
I've thought about it and I don't think I'll be restarting at this point. I've got my favorite character waaaay too close to 50 at this point. I may create a couple new teams on the new servers but more because I have themes in mind for them.
A villain group where all the members are Insane Asylum inmates with different psychosis really appeals to me...
...
...can't imagine why tho'

Okay.
My tournament has been going along very well... very well indeed.
For the first time in practically forever I actually have a character who is 41st level. I am within shouting distance of having a 50th level character and finally being able to participate in the Incarnate content.
They introduced Incarnate stuff.. but it was for 50s so I didn't have to restart my tournament.
Good... good...
But now... May 3rd they will be merging the servers.
There are 11 servers now... and I have 11 teams in my tournament.
May 3rd there will be 15 servers... ... and I will have 11 teams in my tournament...
...
Must... resist... restart...

Are you blind!?!
Can't you see the HAT?!
