I'm coming back to the idea of grouping players with similar strength in a single universe , i'm not sure it is a good idea but i'm sure the merging of the universes will not solve our problem of dying universes . Maybe with this one we'll have an increase of interest from players , and keep them in the course for the top 1 for a longer time.
See the discussion here : Concept - Valent
basic concept:
make universes based on points and group players by level :
universe Alpha : starting players
----> when player top1 reaches a given amount of "indestructible" points ( for example 1.000.000 ) he is invited to migrate to the next universe. He may chose to stay in Alpha but his points will not grow and he will not be able to attack much lower players .
Universe Beta : level 2 universe
- -->Player top 1 reaches a given amount of points ( 10.000.000) , he is invited to migrate to universe gamma.
and so on
Advantages
Each universe will be highly competitive , basically ensuring the fresh universe feeling on each migration
Gives a superior sense of accomplishment , see the joke below:
Each player will get at least once to be no 1 ( if is not leaving very soon)
Effective noob protection ( keep different ranks in separate universes) and not simply make them untouchable and annoy active players
Disadvantages
alliance will have less cohesion since not all players can "ascend" in the same time to the next level universe
for small communities it is possible not to gather a sufficient amount of players to comfortably fill in the universes based on ranking
