Flying lab discuss the port governance adding expansion that will be coming "sometime in 2010."

I feverently hope this is a spoof.

If it is not, my 3 accounts are walking.

FLS, I'll stay, but please point me at the thread begging for more grind, no pvp rewards and influence on 50's being less than levelling up characters...

Okay, the last isn't really a point as you'd have to be a fortune teller to see it. Looks a lot like the Prestige system from COX. They got that wrong as well.

LISTEN TO YOUR PLAYERS - At least do not not do what 'we' tell you we do not want!!!

Nice find...
One question/concern regarding port governors...

Cross-teamers with multiple accounts could generate tons of cash and bid on elections. If they win would this this be an unfair advantage to those not able to pay for more than one account.?

That applies to just about every game mechanic in the game so... /shrug

"Greg: Every time a player generates experience in the game, they also generate influence, and influence is sort of the currency of the port governor system. Whenever you generate influence, your society (guilds in our game), every person in this society is generating influence for this big pool."


OMG, i give up, pvp is more useless if they use exp for influence .... °o°

[John Aubrey]

FLS just needs to drop everything they are doing PvE wise and give us the much needed RvR content and give us port goverance faster, new tort missions were one of the last things we needed atm. Get rid of flag bug and boarding bugs too while your at it please.

Listen to your long time players, for we have spoken.

Well I liked most of it. I hope we get more pvp oriented material in the mean time though.

[Razgizlord]

"Greg: Yeah, they might have some influence, but they're not going to have nearly as much as newer players, who are just going to be fountains and fountains of influence. So they might have the money, but they don't have the power. The power is sort of decentralized."


Ok, in AXE we don't have the money, we have the same players since the launch of Potbs (7-8 players)
A pve society can recruit more easily new players because they have time for help and PL new players, and they have money

As i can see it, society like AXE don't have the money, and now don't have the power

Explain me please if i didn't understand something :/

As far as I see, FLS are trying to force you to level all your 6 toons to level50 for getting enough influence points in your society because there are not enough new players coming to game.

This system looks like flawed unless there is an infinite source of new players coming into the game.

The game will be dead by the time they get around to port goveners, Spain on Roberts has lost about 50% of our players in the last month, ppl are just bored of the same old crap.
