 well after looking about the player ranking break down do u think that it should be lowered for player to have a chance to make it higer ranked.

I personaly think it would be quite the challange to make it that high but yet would take many years. perhaps it should be lowerd to about 100,000 points is general or 150,000. no player ive seen has made it to 100,000 yet. the closest i think was Italian dude, almost getting there but he quit befor he reached it.? just your thoughts what do u think ? :-/

 The ranking doesn't really affect anything, and since it isn't possible to add more higher rankings (there aren't any higher ranks in most militaries - maybe you could add "Field Marshall" but that would be it), I don't see a reason to lower the points breaks associated with the higher ranks.
Remembering the shutdown, it took Italiandude about 15 months to get to approximately 100,000 points - someone could probably get points faster than that, so it might take about 12 months for an active player to reach 100,000 points.

 its almost been a year since i created my account on this and im not even close to 50,000. Italian dude was a real gamer thou he would play alot more games then most would in a day. i woul usslay have about 6-10 games running on average. and still i have no come close yet . imageine it thou 15 months = 92k points 500k points will ltake over 5 years. far beyond what ive seen. ive check around and there have been many who have just given up around the 30,000-80,000 range

 True, but I don't think people went inactive in the 30-80k range just because they didn't get an additional half a star - in fact I don't think it was ever even a tangential reason for someone to stop playing.

 well lowering it would create more of a compotition for people to try and get it. people reralize there is no way there ever gonna reach it. if it is lower they might strive for it

 I just look at the score, it is more accurate and since it can be seen just by hovering a cursor over the stars, it isn't hard to view.

 im not saying its hard to view but it should be lowered. there is no way some 1 will ever get it with out playing for many years. would take a seriously long time to achive the 500k points. i want to see some 1 achive this rank rather then everyone being 1 2 or 2 and a half stars just seems like if lowered there be more people going for a higher rank

 Maybe admin would like people to play for several years ... in his game CyberNations many players have been with their same nations for over 3 years.

 yes but the time it would take to get to 500k points may take over 5 years if your lucky, i think i would get 500k points in about 8 years. but dont forget ToG was once shut down, in 8 years anything can happen i dont want it to be shutdown again. but in 8 years it could be another posibility

 I would rather be rewarded after being with the game for 6 years, than be rewarded quickly in the first couple years. This may be only my opinion, but I doubt it.
