I don't get what does this Utopia idea really solves?
Micronations still will be the same.. 3 players in, lets say, Pakistan.. But now they will have the option to buy a competition in Utopia.. It is very hard to find the managers to play in Pakistan for free.. How many of those managers will want to buy a supporter? All of them? One.. And it is doubtful..
Macronations - mostly what Dylan Dog said.. Why should i buy a supporter for the same competition that I already have?

Hey Utopia will be 99th country - so this is no new server!
There are one more new country like second Poland or Spain. One big country in which you can use the same players who already exist. Maybe even we can play in world championship

I don't agree with all of your thinkings, and I'm really excited for the new Utopia server.
I don't know why would you like to play on a country like bahamas or something, it is the same as your own country, easier to promote pffff. On the other hand, a NEW "country", where you got the chance to start your team from 0 to top, at the same time as all users? That is awsome to me, and a great chance for all players that are not in the 1st division of their country.

P.S- A super radical Idea now lol, I wouldnt really mind an RESET to all teams in the world after 26 seasons of gameplay, and I feel that +50% BB users would love it too!

Honestly I don't like the idea of Utopia, I'd rather like to have a second team in another country. By the way, this is just my opinion, and it's pretty clear – or it has to be – that you can't satisfy every single user.

From your point of view, I believe this isn't the best decision you could take. If a user right now isn't willing to become supporter, he won't pay for playing in Utopia neither since it will be pretty similar to participating in a bigger private league.

Obviously, these are just my two cents, and it's possible I'm not taking into account many other factors.

Anyway, as NdR said, I really appreciated this poll and the forum discussion of future implementations, that's the way you must follow. ;)

Like Utopia, I support the idea.

This is where we hold them!

The Decision has been made: We are going to have a second team feature!

The specifics are still being discussed, so I can't reveal too much about it, but what I can say is that it's going to be a Utopia style kind of league, created as a new, 99th country. We plan on implementing it as soon as possible, maybe even next season, even though, I believe, a more realistic implementation date is the season after that. We will also release the specifics as soon as we can, and boy, there will be some surprises. I guess we can forget most of the things mentioned in the original post, as this is something completely different, with a whole new set of rules and restrictions. We believe you will like it and will feel as excited about it as we all are.

Also, we believe this discussion has helped a lot in shaping the feature, and we find it a great asset in feeling the pulse of our community by making sure all concerns have been heard and taken into consideration. Even though, I must admit, at times it was hard keeping track of all things said. Nevertheless, thank you all for your participation.



You do understand that by actually listening to users and taking their wishes into consideration, you're setting a dangerous standard of competence and service that people might actually come to expect? I think it would be wise indeed for you to accidentally have training run three days late and on the wrong positions next week so expectations can be reset to more reasonable levels! ;)

Seriously, though, this is awesome. It's exceptionally encouraging that you're taking a path that is absolutely going to require more work but that is only probably better for the game but certainly appeared to be more popular with the users. [edit: although, of course, like most change, it was only popular until it became announced, as people always want things to change but never want the changes that actually happen]. I only regret I only have two hands with with to give thumbs up!
