just a fun fact:

xsketch higher tables have been broken for ages, there is only the 0 table limit.

people still get 100k there, mainly by playing insane amount of hours (probably some sharing answers but nvm)

100k isnt that impressive

1 million used to be the score to get


also for this thread, none of these players have medals so i am assuming none of them are playing for points.

gurgi, you mean 100k didn't used to be impressive when there were higher table limits? at that time, it might not even get you blue

with the current system, 100k over there looks pretty good imo

Many of us that want to see more 2/5k games advocate this position in the hopes that a larger player pool in these games would create more fair play and would have a larger number of people willing to work against those that want to cheat instead of feeling like they have to cheat to survive at that level. At least going back to when there were more 2/5k games or even when multiple 2k elo games were happening I always felt the games were more balanced and fair with the larger player pools. Anecdotal evidence for sure, but it is why we argue to lower table limits.

The elo table limits changed in function of the number of players above X points and stuff

So I don't think it will be too difficult to come up with a good, flexible "max points to sit at table level Y" formula that changes in fuction of the total number of players above Z k that are online atm

You can also lower the max points levels for 500 and 2k after say 14 21 and 26-28 days in order to promote more risk taking at the end of the month

Jurgen is right. Flexible limits would be ok. Because 500 does not make fun at the end of the month, too much idiot play going on there. But on the other hand 2k is still this closed circle gaming... where do people like I go.

As for ELO-2k-Tables, that was a family as well. Took me a while to get in but once you were in there for a time it was much easier to stay in. Pretty much a normal human behaviour I guess.

So the old new idea of saying "how many players got above N points" and once there is a certain amount you can define new limits or slowly shift them does sound most interesting.

Please bring them back.

Table limits sucked. Forced you to play multiple alts to avoid sitting with all the hardcore cheaters.

If table limits come back don't expect people to sit higher tables. They will just get on alts more often like they used to do.

No. People will play a lot more higher tables. It has been like this in the past. Switching to alts to avoid them is quite rare.

For as long as I've played with Lager, he always have bitched about the pussies playing on 100 with 4k. And I would agree with him that in the spirit of the game, this is completely wrong.
As well, on the opposite of what Louis think, the more players would be forced to play on 2k, the more they would realize that the morons playing there are just as useless as the others.
So lets go back to the "moving" limit that Jurgen described. Definitely the best answer to our problem.
