On saxton hale US, I had 3534 (Around that number) AP. When I connected today, I only had 3338 AP. I wanted to know why that happened, expessily since I lost the ability to do !hat.

Is there any way to recover it? I did disconnect as soon as I made sure !hat worked so it would hopefully save, as I know crashing of the server would lose saved progress. It's not too devistating that I would be very pissed if I had to gain the 200ap again, otherwise it would be awesome if I could recover it.

You don't lose 200ap a day, you lose a percentage of it, which I believe is 5% each day.
 
All in all, I agree the deterioration sucks, but we can't be too angry, we get a bunch of shit without donating just by playing the game ;D
 
5% of 3,500 is roughly 200.
Agreed, it sucks, but what can you do.
 
I was hoping you buy the commands with ap so you don't lose it. That seems much more rewarding to the dedicated players.
 
I really wish the decay decreased as your AP increased. Maintaining high levels of AP requires unreasonable amounts of TF2 per day. I understand the reasons for keeping it static, but it doesn't make it any less annoying.
 
So maybe this should be suggested seeing it would have a higher level of support then I anticpate :p
 
The decay is there because you are getting donator powers that are not permanent. If you could get them permanently no one would ever donate.

Other servers let you buy things permanently either because they are stupid or don't plan on lasting very long. Servers cost money every month and donator affects are meant to offset this cost.

This, basically. Bottiger, is there a reason you haven't put a static decay? -100/150/200/whatever AP per day?

You mean so that people that only have 500 AP can bitch about loosing 50% of it daily? Sure.

The decay system keeps people active, which is pretty much what ap is for. Making it easy to keep a lot of points and have all the commands doesn't benefit us, having people that will remain active enough to keep their commands does.
