3 managers= 3x work gets done easier
True but the purpsoe of a manger is to have someone in charge that everyone else reports to basically, he then reports to the admin ( abdel ). I guess if they don't bother having mod and hp supers then it will make sense but otherwise you have 3 managers who the mod and hleper supervisors report to? It gets confusing surely. What if 1 managers disagrees with another etc? *shrug* Doesn't overly matter I guess as long as it doesn't affect our play experience.

its a speed server pain, a year is plenty of time if your active enough
What he said. Althought I'm against the speed concept as it will actually deter new casual palyers ( this is going facebook remember ) when it's job is to attract them ... doesn't really bother me since I will in the end benefit from the concept as I am highly active. It might attract new players into existing servers but odds are they will see no chance of getting to the top and probably not get too interested, some will and some won't - I think the best way would have been a cost reduced/stat timer reduced S3 style. Same match timer etc. though.
One thing I do hope is they crack down on people who seemingly havem atches 24/7 ... it's not possible! End it already.

well the only thing im really liking is the chance to compete against people of your own age bracket. sitting wont be a problem anymore and its basically all activity
Agreed, no level sitting advantage will be cool.

For many people, one year is too little time. Some people can't even reach past Level 25 in one year. We should be able to have much more time so we all could reach the higher levels.
Then you aren't active enough or you level sit in which case a speed retirement server is not for you. Casual players learning the game new can still ideally enjoy it and still have the lure of going to the top if they get active enough as the top people will be reduced, a lot better than the current isutation on the existing servers. I stil lthoguht a "reset" server would have been a better idea with complete server resets each X amount of months but this will work nicely because even a reset server the same poeple will continually dominate.
My only other concern is I hope they do something for balanced classes, be really hard for balanced users to get anywhere in a year with their longer to obtain final move sets. Thier stat timers need addressing perhaps but not to the point they could ignore versatility and just focus on 1-2 styats to get super strong quicker than anyone else. Bit of a catch 22 really.
