We are going to edit the ladder rules of the ShootMania Storm beta. You will be able to run any ladder server even the 80k/100k ladder servers without asking for permission at nadeo. When the Beta 2.0 will start, we will normalize the ladder at 70 000 Ladder Points (LP). This means that the first ranked player will have 70 000 Ladder Points after the beta 2.0 release. So all players will lose 30% of their LP.
The players limit is 32 for any server.
These rules are temporary. As we are in beta, the ladder rules are not yet defined.
Thanks to all server owners for creating a friendly place to welcome players ^_^
One question, the 90k and 100k ladder option at the playerpage is still not selectable. Does that mean I just can set the limits in the dedicated config without paying planets ?

No. You just gave the answer yourself
90K and 100K servers, as you correctly mentioned, are not yet available/playable.
As the whole laddersystem (for players and servers) seems and need to be reworked,
you should wait what happens during beta2 or what will be final at the release of shootmania at 23.01.2013.

I don´t get it, sry. Probably I stayed to long at the university today^^
Will all players' points be scaled to reflect the new maximum, or will only those with 70,000 or more be reduced? i.e., If a player has 75,000 at the time beta 2.0 goes live, will that be scaled back to (75,000 * (70,000/80,000)) = 65,625 or will they be at 70,000?
So, if you have 50 points, we will substract 15 points ^_^
The ladder needs to reach the 100K to test the real monday morning balance:
Top 100 stay in 90K-100K
Top 1000 stay in 80K-100K
Top 10000 stay in 70K-100K
etc.
I would like to say this early that players that look to have their preferred mode and settings to reach 100K points of ladder would have to set up a separate title with it, or anybody can claim the first place. It is more likely that some modes with less player, as for Joust as an example, will be taken as the reference for top ladder on the Storm Station.
There will be an interladder function also. This function enables you to define a link between the Storm title and your title. So, if you want to have a ranking of the best Battle player in the world in a group of 64, you will have to setup a Battle title and the rules for 80K-100K servers as 64 players, public probably etc. But you will be also able to say that your ladder is 80% of the Storm title, so if someone arrives on your title, he will not have to start from bottom.
Of course, it can work only if the UI improves on server selection and that going from one title to another, in multiplayer, is easier.
I am aware that some players would like it to be different, but I hope they understand that 10 modes can not define the top place on the Storm title. Also keep in mind that there will be an official Royal title & station, so there will be a ladder for Royal that will reach 100K on it, of course.
