*** 200 MILLION CHAIN SEGMENT PLACEMENTS!! ***

Oof · Post by **Oof** » Wed Apr 20, 2005 5:30 am

Here is the placement order for the new 200 million chain segment that is starting up, following by the reasoning why. For those chain members impacted by the moves that will be following, please read this post and then contact either Keebler I/Riyadh or myself with any questions you have. We the managers have tried hard to get everything right but there is always a possibility that we missed something. Thanks for your gentleness when your correct any goofups!

Acaddict-----------------46,120,316.14
Fu man ki---------------44,348,525.22
Iron horse II-----------31,370,565.16
Of Knights who say Hi-28,012,240.06

Riyadh-------------------44,476,652.85

For right now, only Acaddict, Fu man ki, Iron horse II, and Of Knights who say Hi are moving into the new higher output chain segment. There is some interest from a couple of other folks, but they will need to finish a full reporting cycle (21 days) first in the 100 Million chain before moving into the 200 Million chain.

Regarding placement positions, we normally do one of two things to determine chain placement. We either a) announce the chain will start on X date and allow people to hunt to determine placement (not typical), or b) we look back at historical quota data to determine what each player has consistently done over a certain period of time. With the expansion pack releasing in approximately three weeks, there wasn't time to let players have a sprint for positions so we chose to look at the daily xp average over the past quota reporting period.

So, the placement above is based on the average daily xp added by each character. Riyadh has agreed to stay at the bottom of the 200 Million chain, or technically at the top of the 100 Million chain. He will hunt for the 200 Million quota, even though he may only receive the 100 Million quota. He's that nice of a guy.

Thank you Riyadh, for helping out like this.

Panzer created a 200 Million Chain forum that he will open up, along with a 200 Million segment on the quota page. As far as the quota itself goes, we looked at what the high producers are currently making and it seemed like 200 Million was a comfortable stretch for quota, but 250 Million might be a little bit much of a stretch. As time goes along a little, we can raise it to 250 Million, or 300 Million, or whatever. With the expansion pack coming, and new higher xp hunting grounds, nobody really knows what to expect yet.

Like I said, if you have any questions, please feel free to shoot them out here, or you can watch for the 200 Million forum to open and post them there. That should be open Wednesday, if it isn't already opened up.

Thanks.
