Factions who've stopped participating in ranked warring will soon start losing a division every 2 weeks after an initial resting period of 10 weeks, instead of simply one division every 10 weeks. Remaining enlisted in matchmaking prevents this decay, and warnings are continuously provided a week before any division is lost.
Changed historical Ranked War reports to be migrated to long-term storage after one-month
Added persistent roster strength matchmaking requirement for Ranked Warring to begin from 27th September
After listening to feedback from the community, we've implemented a system to prevent factions from continuing their participation in Ranked Warring if the strength of their membership roster substantially reduces since the last war they participated in, if their rank is also higher than it's expected to be. This rule will come into effect on wars finished during or after the matchmaking cycle starting September 27th, and shouldn't ever have any effect on established factions.
