Suggestion for the New VIP Server

Very few players will be abandoning their current servers. The VIP server is nothing more than a new server with access restricted to active accounts. Anyone desperate for a huge base right awat can simply create some Praetorians and powerlevel them up to 20 and recruit them into their new SG/VG.
Each Praetorian gives the first SG/VG they join 100k prestige.
Players can also convert inf to prestige, and it will be good for the economy to get some of that extra inf out of the game.
I'd like to suggest a SG Base clone feature. Sure, we'd have to pay for it, but some would find it worthwhile.
It would especially be handy for the Beta and Test Servers after a wipe.

I wont be abandoning my SG either, but the teleporters will be inaccessible while Im on the new server. There is no reason a vip player should have to hunt all those location badges again, and collect and build teleporters again.|

If the dev team gave any inclination they were intending on upgrading bases in the future I would not suggest this. It is silly to have to unlock this old content again to play on a new server. Base copying, I have suggested in the past as well, is also an option. As long as the salvage doesnt come with it. That should have to be emailed over.

We'd have to rebuild our bases, which would really stink for a lot of folks, but it would stink less than have to do so as well as start over at 0 prestige... Quote:

Since too many people will have to abandon their long standing SG and VG bases to move to the new VIP server, can that server only have an expanded Ouroboros teleportation feature. From Ouro ship to ANY zone in the game? Well from blue side ouro ship to any blue side zone(even Pocket D and the Hive), and from red side ouro to any red side zone accessible zone (even Pocket D and Monster Island).
This would make the loss of base usage a bit easier to take. Loss of Base storage I can deal with through email, and I can still build a cheap base on the new server for invention table access only.
