before it becomes another John Kruk world.  WIS should contract Gary Carter world.  It needs 8 owners going into season 2.  If it is that tar dead up already, WIS needs to cut it before owners tarred it up more.

That's what you're going to get with new worlds at this point.  Half the folks in new worlds are new owners, so you get the handful of people that decide HBD is not for them.

Actually, yoker makes a good point.   Owners are supposed to commit for 3 seasons.  25% of that world left.  Give them a week to fill.   If they can't, zap it. 

Three of the eight were first season owners.    Math says five of them are not new to HBD. 

I believe that WIS has a rule requiring a minimum number of new owners to open a new world. That's probably a lousy rule - new players are the onesmost likely to quit, especially if thrown into a world full of experienced veterans that may either try to take advantage of them or are unwilling to help new players learn (and if that is what happened to these new owners, then the other owners in these new worlds have no right to complain about the number of openings - you scared them off, now sit and wait).

I would note that there really aren't a ton of openings out there at the moment all things considered (assuming you ignore the existenmce of John Kruk), and I would bet the world could fill in a week or two.

So say 3 were new and decided it wasn't for them, 2 didn't like their team (even though they thought starting in season 1 would be a dream scenario), 2 didn't have the money when it was time to renew, and 1 got mad at someone else in the league.

Hardly worth contracting.  And since it's in season 2, plenty of folks will want to get in at an early stage in the life of the world.  It'll fill by Wednesday.

Apparently all spots are taken...

Funny, that was posted 2 weeks ago...

though a few of the "openings" could be people switching cities or someone who intended toreturn but didnt re-up on time and will be getting back in. I wouldnt really consider the numberof openings in a private world to be set in stone until 24-48 hours after rollover.

Yeah, it looks like they just rolled this morning.

Thats what happens when you create new worlds when plenty of worlds are available and have openings.  Just further illustrates that if enough people complain, WIS will appease the masses.  As mhulshult said, a lot of people believe going in that a new world is a "dream scenario" only to find out that it can be no better (and sometimes worse) than an established world with vacancies

Gary Carter is full, we rolled over yesterday and a few teams were waiting on credits before re-entering their teams.. Its idiotic that you're comparing KRUK to another world....  KRUK is an open world and it isnt filling.. Thats pretty bad...

There was actually 4 new owners. I filled in mid way for a team that was abandon.
