eg. 1 day timeout/zero timebank

thats what ive started doing now and obviously it does help considerably but i still think that it is an issue for many players and that a (slightly) increased number of games would be beneficial to them (myself included)

Q. Does it actually make any difference to subscribers however many non-subs get?

A. Nope.



Personally speaking I find 6 ample, thanks.

Wrong. Each game adds more load to the server in terms of storage and network usage. So YES, it does make a difference. One game here and there might not be noticeable, but I would bet that increasing the limit for all non-subs would make a big difference.

Good point. It's the same argument company directors use when they award themselves a $1m pay increase: "But there are so many of you, a $100 increase for the workers would cripple the company!" 😏

Well you subscribers are bound to say that - but I would bet you wouldn't notice the possibly miniscule difference.

Several subscribers play the equivalent in games of 50 or 60 non-subscribers; some are playing 500 at once; they must be seriously slowing the site down then?


edit; I reiterate that I am happy with my 6. [In fact I'd be happy with 4]

I sincerely think a limit should be put on the Subscribers also, it is just ridiculous to have over 500 games going at once !!! My Two Cents Worth!!!

Agreed!
When something prevents them playing for a few days, their ratings crash and you find yourself playing to save your own rating from a bruising. 😠
