UO Second Age

I've had a few problems with survival game. Id come late to sign up and I was last one signing up twice. Both times I was last, I was solo by myself. I had to wait close to an hour just to be by myself in surivival game from wich I did not recieve a trophy. One idea to prevent this is allowing the sign ups to run for an hour allowing people to play more then once or allowing players to play twice due to the growing populartiy of it. Possibly running the event more then twice a week. Would be nice to have alternatives to the same ten people in the pvp tournys, and pvp is pretty one dimentional by design. Which is not a bad thing but theres always pvp events daily would be nice to have a alternative daily.

We used to have signups for this game open until no one else signed up, but the game would never end, people just keep signing back up.

It's pretty unfortunate that it's coded this way, that one in four times the last game is only going to have one player in it, and he's the one that's been waiting the longest, it's really unfortunate that this happened to you twice.

I'll think some on how we may be able to better ensure that there's at least two people in the final game, but it's difficult to do, as people may log out while waiting, and be removed from the game :/

Thanx for posting Derrick a nice fix would be to allow sign ups for 30 mins vs. 10 mins granted first one to sign up might get to play a second game, or allow players to play two games. Just seems a lot of players have been getting in to it survival game, would be nice to run one pvp alternative game daily. Some players are only doing events and logging in every few days would be nice to expand the pvp alternatives. Thanks for your time.

no matter the length of time you allow sign ups to be open there is the same chance the last guy gets to solo the game.
A simple solution would be - after the sign up time limit or whatever is up, sign ups don't close until the last game has at least 2 people.

The problem is if anyone in the queue logs out, they get bumped from their game, in this case that would again leave one man in the last game.

We could reopen sign-ups everytime someone quits, but that could lead to place-holding and what not, and it'd be generating system message of event opening and closing :/

how about not closing the sign ups until the final match is completely full...
then you would need 3 players to all log out for somone to end up solo
