less speed worlds makes it even harder to avoid the multiple accounts users for that reason i stopped playing them even before i switched to android where they dont even exist. would be great if you guys could add speed worlds to android

Why did the speed world at 17:00vt today not open?

It's the multiple accounts that made most people quit speed worlds. I really do hope quark start banning alt account players. With increased participation hopefully we could return to speed worlds running every three hours as well.

Ryski - if Quark started doing what you suggest, I believe participation in speed worlds would increase dramatically.

Yes, this is why I stopped playing speed worlds. With fewer speed worlds this should be much easier for Quark to monitor/address.

Multiple account users are pretty easy to identify - 2 LCs early in the world with no KSA. Issue a warning for first offense. Forfieture of winnings, temporary ban, and a Multiple Account User medal for second offense. Permanent ban for third offense.

Run 2 speed worlds a day and I'm sure participation will go back up.

Your probably right. Lack of players was never that big a problem anyway, there were still about a dozen players in most worlds which was enough. Multiple accounts are the main problem like you said and fewer worlds just makes it worse because now its impossible to avoid playing against players that use them.

Yep that ruined a lot of players chances to win and was a big issue. Although I do find that fewer speeds is annoying also. I know that when it was every 3 hrs then people didnt hafta worry abt missing this one window to play. You could just hop into the next one

Fewer speed worlds were opened because not enough people were playing to fill up speed worlds but most players don't mind playing in speed worlds that aren't full. Opening fewer speed worlds probably isn't the best solution to lack of particapation anyway. Would be better to encourage more people to play speed worlds, maybe by making tickets cheaper or giving players more free tickets.
