WTF does "unit trading value of trow" mean and what the hell is it?

It means the number of points a trow costs during unit trading. Have you never been a captain on a map with trow? Host a game where you are the only player on "If I had a trow" with unit trading enabled and you will see it.

Note that you don't need to register to log on to the metaserver though. Just log in with any (unused) login name and leave the password field blank.

Actually, I didn't know that either and it was a bitch to try and search the answer for online (you'd think it would be simple to find right?).

Why not change it to 'What company created the first two Myth games?'. That would be something pretty much anyone would know.

on the other hand, the Gate of Storms server was designed for tournament play, and any tournament player would(should) know something that basic - so you could think of asking about unit trading points as a way to filter out the newbie-tournament riff-raff.

You can't make a question that can be directly plugged into Google to get the answer... spam-bots can do that just as well as humans. I figured something that is easily determined by just launching the game was a good bet. Seems to be working pretty well so far in any case.

Heh. I can't remember the exact number off the top of my head either, and can't fire up Myth to check while I'm on vacation...one question, is it written out as a word or is just a number ok?

Priv Msg sent. It is a number by the way. The only downside to this question is that demo users can't load up Myth2 to find out. :)

One workaround is to simply log onto the metaserver as a guest and ask around.

That's helpful - given that Pyro already sent a private message.

Your slogan should be something like "Jumping in when not needed for over a decade!".

The point was to not have the answer on page that might get picked up by google or similar for the question Godz :S Bots can figure that sort of thing out.

Then use your admin powers to make it go away! It was clear Godzfire did not get the intent.
