Differences between scores in the end of the game and in metaverse

from Stardock Forums
At the end of the game we all see our scores for instance 20,837 points. Submitting the game to Metaverse it doesnt add same ammount to your personal scoring. In this case it did add aprox. 7,000.I find this frustrating. Does anybody understands why is this different?! :notsure: :notsure: So whats the point of getting 20 grands,in first place, when you cant even get a half of it??

The metaverse score isn't just the total of your raw score. The score is broken into 30-day blocks, and then a formula of (total scores/sqrt number of submissions) is applied. The blocks age at a rate of 10% for empire score and 5% for personal score.

See Greldon's post in the Raven's Claw from last week. He was down to about 3100 pts for a 60,000 pt Maso...

Yeah, what Kemperor said Athilla. It's a law of diminishing returns that is used to give the "occasional" submitter the chance to still compete in the metaverse against the "crankers".

Think yourself lucky - I get about 4K for a 60K game. :) Things improve a bit when you move beyond your first 30 day block. There are plenty of in-depth discussions about this around the forums - just do a search on "metaverse scoring" and you should find all the info you need. :HOT:
