Within the paid universe??

Id like to know, so I dont get to involved with the gal that ill be in before a potential shuffle.

We are not likely to see a shuffle, not in the paid universe, and not in the free.
However, never say never, we will if we have to.

Dont people who pay up after eachother land in the same cluster\para?

If so, what stops people from getting every1 they know to pay at same time, and thus land in the same region as eachother.

So far, we have a bunch of 1 planet galaxies, so those that paid so far did not end up together.

They land in gals nextt o eachother though, so they will be in the same region\cluster.

I paid, and right after I activated a m8. We landed 2 and a half cluster apart.

I did aswell and got into for example 2:2, an m8 of mine got into 2:1 and one in 2:3.... =)

The 1st day would've been the fastest, I'd say up until ticks start people will land pretty close together by doing that.

Like we have any idea what clusters will actually mean in round X.

Indeed, could be they decided to scrap clusters and parallels all together, in which case it wouldn't matter whether you were in a galaxy next to your mates or not, they could implement the regionalisation thing or clusters and/or parallels could be how they have been in the past.

Guess we will find out before too long.

People are put in galaxies in a predictable order, so you are kinda able to make private galaxies. I do know that many are doing private galaxies. That is not fair for the newcomers who won't have the opportunity to play with hardcore gamers.
If the spirit of PA-X is to give a chance to the new players then a shuffle is not an option.

Tuz · 27 Aug 2003, 14:12

lol how to make the random private =)
Idd shuffle is not an option.

It seems quite difficult to get a group of people into a specific galaxy even if the moving of people is predictable. Also it is quite lame to try as it might force spinner into a shuffle afterall wasting lots of peoples time.

So if you are so against it as you describe it seems fairly easy to name those guys and we can all put them on the early hit list.

It was quite lame to backstabb at some point the previous rounds. It was quite lame to make some unbalanced powerblocks. But all the time some PA players have been lame so you can't expect more this time. Since some feel unfavourably treated compared with the ones doing this, then they are now doing the same like a snowball effect. It is almost not possible to tell you who is doing it since they are so many...
