Please have a much higher criteria for being able to create your own legions, I reccomend

Delete all 0% active legions
Delete all legions with less then 5 active people older then 1 month

In future if possible auto delete all legions that have less then 5 active members for more then 2 weeks

minimum level 100 to create a legion
minimum level 100 for leader position
As well as:
minimum 3 months gameplay time
energy 1000

Current leaders will stay as they are but once demoted they cannot re accept the position until all requirements as met.

This will really help the players stay and work together more in the game.

What is it with these ridiculous and moronic ideas lately?

if a few friends join this game at the same time, and find that to make their own legion they need to get to rank 100 first, they'll likely leave.

If that same group of friends (lets say 6 people for the sake of your arguement) manage to get to the ridiculous requirement without quitting and make their own legion, and then 2 of them go on family holidays that last 14+ days, the auto delete kicks in and destroys all their hard work.

just for these reasons alone, instant -1. I don't care how hard it is to recruit people(the /true/ purpose of this idea), you can't force them to join an established legion if they actually want to make the effort to create their own.

Spaceman-I see where you're coming from, but seriously, it doesn't matter.

No way! at the mimimum members . Also there are people who make legion bases with cash just for them or a few freinds. If they go inactive for a bit them come back to see there legion deleated?? what about there cash they spent? this is a bad idea.

sorry -1

*EDIT*

-1 to Everything you said, its to extreme.

Theses ideas could be applied:

I agree, legions with no one in them (legion bases with out an owner)
Should be deleted.
If a legion has been inactive for more than 3 months, the legion should be disbanded and deleted.

Auctally re-reading this, are you trying to kill the game.

a Player and a friend join this game, they are not rank 100, dont have 1000 energy.
delete all legions with less than 5 active players, so theses new people are going spend 1,000 energy and get it taken off them?

The game should favour new players over old, this is the only way new players will join.
You kill new players, whos going replace the old ones that are quitting?

~JF~

OK lets look at it this way shall we

60 legions created in the past week
58 legions in the week before that
68 legions the week before

doesn't anyone want to have some sort or restrictions in place ?

more easy bases and down side less people wanting to make a full legion

Fixed

explain how having less legions but more active players would destroy the game...

Because, as stated before, there are players who like to be in 1 man legions and milk them like cash cows. Doing this idea would screw over their independency, which they like to have.

They don't appreciate having to share their resources with anyone...

We do need more restrictions.
Rank 50 or 100
Maybe a more feasible 500e
Could also require a decent bit of credits too.

What I would like to see though, but nit sure how it would work programming wise, would be to require players have been a part of an established legion for so long prior to making their own.
Numbers can change, but I was thinking a month or two in a legion with 25 or 30 plus members.

Its nit too much time as thats probably around how long it should take to hit that min rank, but still should let them see how they are run a bit and also let them see the difference it makes playing with a group of people.

Which part of "What right do any of you have to tell people when they are /ready/ to make a legion" did you not understand?

*sigh* the only reason people seem to care about this crap is because "it's already hard enough to recruit as it is, without people forming their own legions too!! "

Why don't people be honest with the idea, instead of sugar coating it? what difference does it make to you if they know how to run their legion /properly/ or not?? None at all, other than potential recruits may join their legion instead of your own.

Befor you go assuming crap why don't you check my sig?
I have 0 problem recruiting.
And as for the who has a right to determine when people can run a legion question, who had a right to tell me I'm not loyal and say i can't hit bases? who has theright to say I can't attack a planet owned by someone lower than 20 in rank? Who has the right to tel me I can't do whatever I want in gl?

Oh yeah. DAN

We aren't the ones setting the standards, but we can see that they are needed.
Have you yourself ever went through the list of legions?
How about follow the progress of a few new legions started by rank 10s, as they rank up a little bit, get 5-7 people to join then not all that slowly they all go inactive. A few leave, but not many.most go down with the ship thinking that's all there is to gl.

This isn't about recruiting. Chances of a new player catching up to the point we would accept them is basically zip.
Its about keeping people in the game.
Sure we hear how high ranks are bored and leaving, but there are tons more quiting befor rank 50(speaking of that, does it make sense you can start a legion before you can even access the gtc?)
More people staying in the game helps everyone, as the more that play, the more likely there are to be more players actually paying and supporting the game.
Money for dan makes everyone happy.

There in lies the problem with this pisswater idea. If people are already leaving by rank 50 because of whatever reason, How many more will leave when you impliment this foolish idea to control people's right to make a legion at rank 10??

as for your point of attacking a player's planet before they're even rank 20 (or have been on the game for a few weeks, can't remember the exact 'newbie protection' timer). That in itself would be detrimental to potential players, a rank 20 having a planet stolen by a rank 800+? what would that have done for your outlook and moral on the game?

You even said, the chances of most new players getting to the point of being acceptable to your legion is pretty much zero. So why do you support this idea? what difference does it make to you?

Those players are leaving not because they can't make their own legion, but because they can.
Those tiny little legions are more likely to go inactive.
How good is a legion with no leader?

And with those other things. I wasn't saying they aren't right. I'm saying dan is the one who has control here.

And didn't you read the last part?
Long run higher restrictions wil help everyone. More people staying will equal more gp buying
More gp bought is more money for dan, and with more money dan can make more content faster.
Its win win win.

+1 ONLY if this is possible below,

maybe a vacation bottom for players and legions that stop being deleted for being inactive.

Players go inactive regardless. Being in or creating a legion on their own doesn't have any influence on a new player's decision to continue playing Galaxy Legion or abandoning it. It all depends upon how simple game play is at first and how much it interests them.

A lot of newbies are like helpless babies: they don't know what to do or how to communicate. I thought making the COMM bubble flash whenever someone said anything would catch their eye but that didn't help either.

A person's decision to play the game comes from 3 factors: 1. Interest, 2. Enjoyment level, and 3. Interaction/Communication with other players/objects.

Bottom line: Restrictions on creating legions won't have an effect on increasing the DAU.

EDIT: The minimum rank requirement should be changed to Rank 20, Rank 25, or Rank 50.
