[Feedback] Nation Status

[Hiebe 2493]

As a member of Holm and one of its creators, we have been patiently waiting for territories plugin and the ability to grow and prosper with it. We started out with a small city and few members and have overgrown our free build status to rival with some of the other most active 'nation' status place as the Dominion and Marna. From the begin we have had road blocks and have had to quote other exceptions to get what we need to survive.

Example: We wanted a bank and auctioneer, we were told by admins and GMs that we couldn't cause we were 'freebuild' and only 'nations' got it. We had to cite that Curon got both and eventually we got our Bank and auctioneer. 

Example: We wanted a mine, and were told again we couldnt buy one. We waited and waited and heard through the grape vine that Azadar got a mine so we had to cite that to the Moderation team and eventually we got a mine.

Example: We have three, yes three full redstone pillars. We have other putting some up in this week to accommodate players, but again we are told no cause we are not 'nation' status. 

 

Holm rivals all the current nations in activity, we have a thriving market, academy, and political system. We have been road blocked and made to wait weeks and months for small things that make life easier. I know the territories plugin is being worked on but we are tired of waiting for a green pillar and the ability to own a tile to protect our lands and our player base.

 

How to solve:

 

-Make a temp system to allow for nation status progress.

-Give green pillars to these active nation area. And the ability to claim tiles.

-Make it known that its temp till territories plugin comes into play.

-Stop dragging the moderation teams feet about lack of plugins to enforce the policies, I know there is a way to check activities to nations and keep them in check. Why cant nations rise and fall and fail to earn their keep. We have nations holding swaths of land with no players to back it up.

 

I and the players of Holm have waited and waited and now its becoming tiredsom to give the benifit of the doubt in terms of being recognized. Make a temp system for freebuild societies to get perks as a nation. We have done to work to be inclusive to players and draw them to our city to boost our player-base. Dont hamper us cause we are just 'freebuild'.

My man Hiebe's right yo

Give Holm a green soulstone pillar for christ's sake. We've got a redstone pillar every thirty feet and some in basements. This is absurd.

pls

I've experienced Holm as a "settlement" more active than anything else on the server other than Kaz'Ulrah, the Dominion or Fort Stronk/Krugmar. Give them a pillar already.

But seriously, it really does feel like a favorites or grandfathering game.

 

I personally think it should make the requirements to achieve "Nation" status more transparent, or do away with it and let people earn/buy the functions of one somehow instead of having a meaningless divide between settlements. So far it seems "Nation" status only means the place is older, not that its necessarily active and thriving.

 

It really isn't fun to see a static map or huge overgrown cities.

Hiebe is a smart man.

If I may add to this, at the moment there are at least five soulstone pillars that are full, and I have had multiple people have to set their soulstones to Belvitz and other nearby areas. It is overflowing and we have been having housing issues as well. Holm does need to be added as a nation, and although I am fully committed to Fenn and its players, Holm greatly exceeds Fenn in a number of ways population and activity wise and yet it is a nation.

I can only imagine how hard it is for other free build nations if its this hard for one with two World DevZ. Give us the promised regioning system.

[Whiplash 466]

Sometimes it gets tedious to run from Belvitz to Holm, so I can only imagine what others have to do now that all the pillars are full around there.

[BDanecker 867]

Top five in activity and still not a nation ?

[Man814 30]

Christ, staff team stop being so incompetent give us our damn green pillar

[wolfdwg 2677]

Can't be a nation when you're vassals and tributary to Krugmar. *wink*

 

Srsly though staff, give the manlets their pillar.

Dunshire has similar problems. 

 

We are the only settlement for an entire race to live in, but we have been forced to live in a tiny region with a radius of 30 blocks. We had a big population boom of new players a few months ago, and when I asked for a region expansion to build more houses to accommodate them I was told that it wasn't allowed because we were waiting for the region plugin. This was around February/March. Presumably all those new players have now left the server because we were artificially blocked from growing.

 

Not exactly the same situation as you, because we are not freebuild, however Dunshire is a racial capital which is stifled for OOC reasons like Holm is. People have been obsessed with 'nation status' for years now and its frequently used as a stick to beat players down with, and its stupid.
