My biggest want is that Fractured be substantively different from contemporary sandpark games like Albion Online and instead is more of a spiritual successor to games like Tibia and Ultima.

That's a big ask and it's risky for the developers to honor since gamers in general are quite different than they once were. But all in all, I hope the game is a bit hardcore and inconvenient and incentivizes social interaction, a dynamic political climate, and generally avoids the features that might otherwise make it resemble a superficial MOBA you can just phone it in on when you play.

@Wika I don't think there should be such a gate in the first place. Make it into an event or a timed thing that pops randomly somewhere, like a rift. And make it trully random, as in it could be either in the middle of nowhere or could be spawned in a guild controlled city. Or just random dude's house in the wilderness.

I would say that while this would be inconvenient, it would truly make this an anticipated event, since that's the time the worlds would collide and massacres would ensue. People would wait for such a thing.

I really like this idea. Still hoping that Fractured is a relatively hardcore game. This mechanic would add a sense of dread and anticipation to portals and invasions instead of the convenience and predictability of a fixed location.

Meridian is eagerly anticipating Wednesday's upcoming test. We're still accepting itinerant guilds and solo players into our capital if they need a home with a strong community.

Meridian is looking forward to Wednesday's upcoming test with everyone.

Any guild or solo player needing a place to hang their hat during this upcoming test should consider becoming a resident of our capital, Zenith.

@Severian Excellent. Please check your private messages!

This is going to be fun! Two more days till the next test. If you still have not found a home, feel free to check out the wonderful town of Zenith and the guild Meridian!

Well said. Looking forward to tomorrow's test.

Looking forward to tomorrow's test with the rest of Meridian!

Meridian is still growing, as is our capital, Zenith.

Any player who has yet to commit to a guild and/or to a city should consider taking up the Meridian banner and/or making Zenith the place where they hang their hat!

Welcome @Darhk!

@idioticmaddog Fear His Tyrannical Majesty's wrath.

@Dordolio His Majesty was either willingly crowned by his loyal subjects... or he proclaimed himself King and we live in constant fear of his most tyrannical wrath.

We haven't decided what the official story is yet.

Hi @slumwav! Check your private messages.

Welcome @Devoid!

Zenith is still recruiting residents, including other guilds who don't yet have a city of their own!

@Ostaff omg WHO LET YOU OUT OF YOUR CELL AGAIN

We'll have to double security.

@Alexian @LilCassiopeia
I'm in w Duath and have applied for the Guilded Meridian site. Just want y'all to know my current PC isn't as strong as the box I hope to have once this game drops - running a second window behind the game significantly slows my fps, and opening Guilded on my phone taxes our rickety wifi, so most of my comm will be ingame chat or out-of-game when I'm not playing.

Hope that's ok!

Perfectly understandable, my friend.

Update: in light of the upcoming Alpha 2 - Test 3, we're blowing the dust off this old thread.

Zenith, Meridian's capital, will make its debut in this new test. If you're interested in becoming a citizen of Zenith, please sign up:

@PeachMcD Thanks for the reminder, my friend!

@graboidmobster Glad to hear it. Check your PMs for next steps!

A hearty Cinco de Mayo bump!
