i dont want to get into a trolling war over this. here is my piece. duelingnetwork.com is the yugioh version of lotrgemp but not in every way. this is not a rant to make gemp exactly the same as duelingnetwork, but
DN for short, has alot of interesting points that i think would improve gemp.
1.
DN has no merchant. all cards are able to be used for casual testing and tournaments. there is no my collection, just your deck garage.
2.
DN has for its casual players a rating system to track how many game you have won and lost, along with a second number rating meaning your overall reputation on the site. are you a good or bad sport? these are all taken into your rating which is shown by xxxx/xxxx the first numbers being your rating in casual play and the second being your reputation number.
3.
DN has 3 pools players can play in and only 1 of those pools allows a player to earn points to increase their rating. they are the traditional format where its no holds bar no ban list games end before your opponent can even get a first turn. this is like gemps format. the second format is the unrated advanced format where there is a ban list in effect and you can test decks here without fear of your rating going up or down. the last format is the advanced rated format where players play for the highest overall win rating. the reputation rating is just icing to some.
4. All
DN tournaments being run in either pool or format can be chosen by players just like gemp but you already have access to all current cards in the game. again, there is no merchant. this allows much larger and in my opinion more fun tournaments.
5. why yugioh you ask? yugioh is the most popular tcg in the world. let it sink in for a second. the numbers have been proven. if you dont believe me check guiness world records. duelingnetwork had hundreds and yes thousands of players on at any given time. why? because of the free access to every card in the game. in yugioh the player base seems to care more about actually playing the game itself and grinding out the highest rating to see who really is the king. im sorry but gemp feels like it was designed for the collector and not the competitive lotr player.
for the sake of time i will stop here. if any of you want to register an account at duelingnetwork.com to see how it works go right ahead. even if you do not build a deck you can still go into the duel hall and click on the watch mode and watch the highest ranked players on at the time play a game.
please be kind to yugioh. it is the king of games after all. that is what yugioh literally means. i am simply a fierce fierce player in the tcg community. i am trying to make it to where gemp is flowing with players like duelingnetwork is.
TL/DR:
go to duelingnetwork.com register account and see why its the best. if gemplotr followed some of this sites ways it would increase our player base for tournament play.
but what about the prizes?!
if you win a tournament your prize should be a foil card of your choice. in the end you have a full foil deck only earned from tournament wins. bragging rights. and no merchant hassle. i am sorry to the collectors but i want to see lotr played in a more competitive atmosphere and not be limited to the massive public games.
