The Freelands

[Dreek 1633]

im pretty sure an enderchest is available to everyone, so a place to store their stuff is readily avail. personally, i'm not to keen on the idea of a freebuild area. i do understand this map is just using it as a trial,so i guess we'll see ?

I find the idea just fine. If people want to roleplay, they are going to search for it. I'm hoping that is why they joined the server, and not to "build wherever they want."

As I say below, towns will receive the hardest scrutiny. Inactivity will be dealt with. Likewise, complaining about inactive builds is somewhat silly. 

I really don't mind this change, but please don't act like this will be under strict guard, and as you say, 'hardest scrutiny'.

 

Scrutiny like the free-build mess in Anthos?

Scrutiny like the free-build mess in the Fringe?

Scrutinu like the free-build mess in Athera?

 

Lets dispel this fiction that this will be moderated for more than just a week.

The map has just around a month.

Krajia was told the region that we had taken away from us was going to be used for events, not for some free-build region to clog up our area with shitty builds. Thanks GMs.

My point still stands, no matter how long the map will go on for. Freebuild areas have always lacked true moderation, and they always will. The promise that GMs will moderate the free build area for more than a week or even a month is just a big, fat lie, as we've seen with nearly every other freebuild area we've had.

Not a big fan honestly, nor do I believe this will have the desired effect of bringing back road RP. Never have I noticed these free build areas contributing to RP in the past, rather they funnel new players away from the major nations and cities as they are no longer required to obtain shelter, building rights, basic supplies from the server's communities. This destroys much of that interactivity and the chance for these new players to join the preexisting settlements, becoming involved in the server community and attached. Though with the impending map change I suppose this trial matters little. If this is to be brought into 5.0 I would ask that such areas be far removed from a nation's borders, perhaps even in a different world to prevent conflicts about the free usage of these lands.

Should be fun!

Encourage new players to get involved in established communities.  This isn't a survival server, it's the opposite.  Free build brings nothing good to the server.  It's easy enough to get land look at the mess that is Orenian nobility.  Free build areas are always **** holes built by new players who decide to build a castle and then end up leaving because they never integrated into the server.  Never has a free build area had a sustained population or any kind of roleplay.

The map is going to explode in less than a few weeks. Vailor has been around, for what, nearly a year? Isn't it a bit late now? That region next to the docks has been barren that entire time and suddenly people crawl out the woodwork to stake their claim?

On the next map itd be pretty dope to see a few wilds regions across the map like this. Great job staff team this addition will surely help the server.

We were told the region would be used for events months ago, and we couldn't use it because of that reason.

Well it does have some event areas in it (that I never saw myself as I wandered it over the months frankly). However, it's not really Ever's fault that a GM dicked you around. You could still go and build this Krajia now that it's freebuild and then get a charter done for it.

It's already there, they reduced our region to 1/4th of what it was.

I've never seen any sort of settlement there in all my time playing, so it would stand to reason that it would probably get missed.
