To me, 1200 VP is barely do-able nowaday on small server like this. I have seen many players in top tribe (even theres barely any red village left) force to quit the world and let in enemy player to fill the space (eg. world H from two years ago). And there are incidents where player uses multiples account (20 accounts, keep restarting over and over again to fill the barb for VP, ASK TOP in world N last year), especially in Non relocation world, it can take almost a year to complete but we won anyways being underdog from start. My summer team also have this apply
SwanseaNorthmen . Eventually the VP reduction was taken place reducing VP weekly for them to close. If this doesn't get reduce to reasonable amount, it will not be fair for us.
I prefer to have the following method/new rule on VP:
1. Make VP reasonable: 600-800 without reduction OR
2. Having them reduce 100 VP PER MONTH only certain condition met (like 70% VP requirement, max 1000 VP)
