Got a few potential returning players that have asked if the Steam release might be possible at the same time as the universe reset. And figured it would be a good idea to ask Haxus if it was possible, and ask the rest community if they think it would even be a good idea.
On one hand I can see it being a nice idea to have the universe reset accompany the Steam release. The potential Steam players might like the level playing field at launch. But that level playing field would only be brief, since the so called "level playing field" only lasts for about a week and then we are back to the current scenario of one or two groups/empires being in charge of everything.
On the other hand it might be more appealing to other Steam players if the universe is alive and the diplomatic scene a little more stable upon release.
The current universe isn't as dead right now, and the side of Weltreich has shrunk a lot with the current empire size limit. So unless Weltreich goes on another rampage... ok, who am I kidding, they totally will go on a rampage if they think it will force a universe reset faster. But apart from the lunatic monster, the universe isn't horrible like this for a while longer.
Thoughts?
