Junar 808 Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2020 The World Team Winter Update ⛄ It has been a very eventful map release! And with all the benefits of a successful launch and a new world for players to explore, there is no doubt that some areas will need amendation and refinements. The World Team has had a lot to review, especially with a recent change in administration. For the sake of transparency we are publishing an update to make sure that players are aware of some upcoming changes. Feedback is, and always will be, encouraged. This list is not exhaustive and there is always room for more updates and work for the world team, but these are the current and most pertinent issues on the itinerary over the next few weeks. ⛄ Settlement rules have been published, meaning; Applications for lairs are open. Applications for settlements upgrading into nations are also open. HOWEVER, settlement applications are currently on hold until the current system is reviewed. The main focus for the next few weeks is to fix the settlement set-up and build process to make sure settlements are able to be introduced without a strain on the player and staffs’ time and resources. This set-up includes pasting the settlements and providing appropriate services to help build these prebuilds for those that are unable to build their settlements to their own desired skill-level. It is far more preferable for a server aesthetics perspective to take the time and resources we have to create settlements that are pleasing to the eye and far less straining with regard to time dedicated for player-resource grinding. We are further trying to focus on more ways to open communication between the world team and settlements and lairs, including established and prospective settlements. The recent complaints about settlement and lair leaders feeling left in the dark with regards to feedback and progress with application has led to a lot of in-team concern about players feeling disregarded during the process. We will be working to try to open more channels to approach and query when necessary. The settlement application and build process should be something that the world team is very communicative with, offering support when and where necessary. As a result of this, a Settlement Manager will be appointed soon. This is a role that will serve as a mediator between the team and the settlements, their role explicitly created to make sure that communication is clear and open for any settlements and lairs, prospective or otherwise. Note: The new settlement rules can be found under the 'rule' tab. The new region application forms can be found here: Application forms We will be finalizing shops and soulstone pillars soon! Finally - we are currently in the process of reviewing the allocation of Vortex node resource allocation and tile upgrades. Some resources are experiencing far higher demand than initially anticipated so may result in more nodes being placed. This is all subject to change and our team is working hard on balancing these matters. ⛄ Happy holidays~ World team 38 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kemobrown 567 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Based ❤️ but paste? 😞 Jk jk but in all seriousness though, it's nice to see staff listening and taking players' concerns into consideration 🙂. Still a bit concerning that the activity check date is creeping closer but settlements don't have a place to rp in as of yet - but i think this has been raised to your attention already.
