HBD for us! (need 2!) Topic

William,

Still not exactly certain of the date. We've got 9 openings in current worlds open to the public so we're hesitant to add supply to this. Please re-open on 6/7 and we'll see where we're at.

Thanks for your patience and the patience for the other users waiting for the private world.

We're being extra careful this time around.

That certainly does such. They have 32 people willing to shell out 25 a pop to buy their product but they're gonna say no because it just might take longer for an existing world to fill.

Anyway im still in. I picked up another team so whenever we start if fine with me.

I dont see why the 9 openings matter to this league. I understand the supply and demand thing, but I have wanted to join another hbd league but can't until this one starts because I am one of the 8 that are new to it. We have a full league. Guys that are already in other leagues amond some guys like me that want to get in other leagues but can't until this one starts. I really don't see the harm in allowing a league that is already full and waiting to spend money to go.

I am very anxious to start but I understand admin's stance. For a while, the supply exceeded demand in HBD by so much that Worlds were taking weeks, sometimes even more than a month, to fill. They had to contract and/or merge several Worlds. It was very frustrating to some owners who had been long time participants in a World which was merged out of existence after they had devoted a lot of time and energy to building teams. Admin is anxious to avoid a recurrence of those problems.

I'm more than willing to wait to have the opportunity to join a brand new World, an opportunity that has been largely lacking for a long time. Let's be patient, I'm sure we'll get there.

Perhaps opening new worlds could generate revenue across the board instead of the opposite effect. I played a few teams in the beginning and could all ready see collusion developing and guys having teams set for seasons to come. Rather gained through legit ways or not; I along with many others dont feel like shelling out $25; and more importanly sweat and tears, into a team that will likely lose 100 games and take 3 or 4 seasons and a C-Note to become truly competeive. Just My Thoughts.

With many bugs ironed out and a few new provisions put into the rules the idea of a new world on a level playing field seems much more appealing than an existing world. If a current world is having trouble filling they can discount it and do welcome back promotions and free trials to get the league full like they do in Hoops dynasty for example.

Make sure to put a noob on the waiting list. If it gets to close to my holiday time Ill have to pass. I joined wanting to be able to immerse myself into the league and HDB sim, not having enough time for my first preseaon doesnt feel right.
