Below, I have outlined 6 simple, easily-implementable actions which I believe are necessary to slow, perhaps to the point of reversing, the dwindling of our player base.

Step 1. Revert to the old BOTS!! UI.
Professional designers were hired to make the old UI.
You are not professional designers. You are amateurs.
You do not know what you're doing.

Step 2. Make the game run at any resolution.
It's possible, and it will make people happier.
You're ruining your game. Don't be idiots.

Step 3. Remove administrator rights requirement.
I am fairly sure it is possible.
I've successfully run the game without administrator rights by running bout.dat directly.
However, the game, by default, installs to C:\, which requires administrator rights.

Step 4. Increase required XP for a level by 150%.
Leveling is much too easy from levels 1-225.
If players have a more difficult time reaching the maximum non-member level, they only have more incentive to buy snowballs and memberships for the XP boosts.

Step 5. Establish relationships between rewarded XP in sector clear and player level/mobs killed.
A level-1 bot who has not killed any mobs should be rewarded a negligibly small number of XP points.

Step 6. Increase difficulty of sector map 258.
Gora's Requiem is the most played map on BoutCheetah. It can be soloed in less than 2 minutes and still rewards at least 41,000 XP points. In tandem  with step 5, players will not be able to join a room playing map 258 and gain 50-100 levels after only a few games.

If you have any care left for BoutCheetah, please consider these points.
Thank you.
