Removed features

Many things have been removed from Worlda of Nations, the majority of them being removed for either being relics of older times or just not serving a purpose with a better alternative that would replace it.

## Removed Features

### Roll combinations

Roll combinations were a very old feature, being one of the first to be added. This feature allowed two nations, who were allies to combine their rolls into one massive roll. While this was creative, it was obscure and used very few times. It was removed sometime after December 2019, which was after the last known usage of the feature.

### 100 Nation alliance cap

While it was always known that there would never be more than a few in an alliance, the original alliance cap was at 100. However, in March 2020, a poll was held to decide if alliances should be limited to 5. Scotland saw this as a way to combat the UL, while its true purpose was to prevent a single alliance from controlling too much land or resources.

The argument that spiraled from the accusations of Byzantium removing one of the votes from the poll would eventually become the stage for the Worlda War, as eventually it would become a massive, heated argument that occurred over midnight and into the early hours.

### List of Nations and List of Alliances merger

Prior to the Server Redesign 1.0 in June 2020, there was two channels that served the purpose of listing nations and alliances. They had been seperate since their introduction in December 2019, however it was far more inconvenient to have two rather than one channel. Thus, both of the channels were merged.

### Old channel organization

Before the introduction of the Roleplay Channels category, all the RP-based channels were segmented into different continents. In March 2020, all channels were moved to the new category and sorted by continent.

### Nationalist Movements

Nationalist Movements was a channel dedicated to a few movements for independence, but was deleted in February 2020 due to it not only being outdated, but also hard to keep updating.

### Random Number Generator

Prior to the introduction of RPBot, the server's rolls were based off of a random number generator. However, since this was inconvenient for many and could be prone to Inspect Element, it was replaced with RPBot in December 2019.

### Bharat Grid Strategy

The Bharat Grid Strategy was a strategy used by Bharat to encircle land, draw grids through it and annex massive chunks of it all in one swoop. This strategy allowed Bharat to jump from his small rolls to a 50 in the two months of his expansion height. This was banned on October 23rd, 2020 due to its abuse by Bharat constantly, as well as fear of it being spread.

### Old Annexing System

Prior to September 2020, annexing was an incredibly broken system. Any land you could surround you could automatically annex it, no matter size. Eventually in March 2020, it was reduced to max of France-sized chunks, but this did not stop abuse. In fact, this caused far more abuse as now people knew how large of an area they can annex rather than it being random, thus allowing them to shape holes to around the size of France. In September 2020, it was reduced to the size of Cambodia and in November 2020 it was reduced to the size of North Carolina.
