12 months you see the former coin accs in the hands of people that do not know how use the accs they buy. By this point the server is pretty well defined, You know who the big guys are and you know who the threats are. Talent really shines here because they are ahead of the curve in most ways.
2 years - Most of the bought accs are inactive or sold again. The new class of players (The former smaller guys that step up and bulk up) The server begins settling into its rhythms. states are well defined and provided the skill isn't limited to 1-2 alliances, you see a few heavy wars breaking out. If it is limited to 2 alliances with talent, you see a major war break out, or one of several skirmishes leading towards the major war while both sides try to annex smaller alliances for any talent not in a main alliance.
TL;DR - I don't believe in trying to kill a server. Its counterproductive. I love SS38 and was incredibly lucky picking server 6 as my first server. AS you mentioned, Our troop count isn't the same as some of the bigger super servers. You know why? When people feel they don't have a chance to defend, They overbuild. When people feel worried about getting hit, They overbuild.
Basically, When you feel confident in your abilities you don't need to build much bigger then the likes of Bitty or Kiki or Blackhands acc. Enough troops to do major damage, and be a pain in the butt to kill unless you happen to have 40m mechs up your sleeve and the 10 hours to hit with. Yeah some on this server are far better at the mechanics then others. I am better then the majority of players. There are but a handful of players on the server that give me a hard time defending/attacking and ive fought some of them only Twice, others quite a number more times.
I could build 120m trans and play silly buggers. I could build 800m arch and try and survive a set from Kiki's banner brigade, Im not going to do those things because even though the idea of 120m trans makes me happy in the pants department, (Think of the bomben) Im not going to do it, because i don't want to.
Mega - I respect you immensely as a player and as one knowledgeable about mechanics, but I don't believe in killing off a server on purpose.
Okay, rant over, soapbox away. Shall we get this thread back on topic? How bout some haunted hits in the haunted hit thread instead of necroing this long dead thread with chatter guys (Not that im discouraging the activeness of these threads at the moment)
