@RedStalker I tried to like the game, but i could not enjoy it.
how long have you been playing it?
and welcome!
What did you like to do in Albion? trade?

lets go to the left!

trust me... i am a professional!

@Greenfire i rewrote some parts and added the 's' to the 'he'. Awkward to say that 'your gender is fixed'. That sounds so weird...

@Jimbolini LOL... ok. logically it is all not set in stone. But having lore and stuff doesn't hurt.
i'll add the free buffet and cheap beer to the map.

@Roccandil i'm normally one of those people. No reason to stick to a specific location where (games have lag) nothing special to stay. I am sceptical, ask questions, and question game mechanics and assumptions (made by devs). I am curious to what actually the game turns out to be. As long as devs answer my questions and give me an idea of what they want to do... They might surprise me.
Even if the game ends up not bieng fun for me, then i am not the one to say what it is. I might have my thoughts about game mechanics and why i think they are good or bad. I always hope that the game is fun for the intended audience. (with or without me)

@PeachMcD its simple. first feed them, then eat them.

oops edit: did save msg too soon

@Specter you are right of course. But i wonder if there would be fun things. If i want followers i surely should not go the safest way. (unless they all agree)

@Zori its the P2W (not there! - never said that either, but good it isnt there!!) vs money invested vs fun to have.. Cosmetics... dunno. and other benefits.... depends. we will see.

@Nekrage A great way of showing presence. Kudos!

@Prometheus Thanks for the heads up. As for city selection, of course i go for the biggest. i am a human after all, and from holland.
So, some reply is needed as i also raised the post

Ok. i'm going to 'forget' the classic MMO idea.
As for the decision to 'stick' with it... i was on the move to remove myself from the city (as there is no guild to back me up - i guess i used 'them' up after three failed games) only to notice that i actually had 12 members. (heroes!) So not going to abandon them. I'll prefer to make some noise and attract some more.

@Nekrage I understand that PvP is integral part of the game. no problem with that. In light of what Prometheus said i can understand the mechanics. If and how they work out (as being fun and such) i have to wait and see. I'll ponder over the game mechanics as we progress in alpha and such...

@Zori I am not focused on the governor pack. I took it because i can. I knew there would be some form of PvP and i knew also i can loose towns, benefit etc.) not a problem. i gave my $2k pledge away to someone with more hope/confidence and patience in CoE when it was clear to me it would technical be impossible.)

as for my thoughts: Prometheus is way more communicative and clear in his goals and ideas, there is actually game to be played and i still hear the right things. Way more realistic then CoE ever was. So no reason for me to drop out. That said, I still hope my fellow Viking players from CoE will read this and join up. **so if you read this, fellow Viking: King Ulfberth has reincarnated and demands your presence. stop loitering, bickering and sobbing... **

fellow players, if you have a town, or plan for one)_ and you have ideas, let me know, i will add details (if you would like) to worldanvil: fractured world
Feel free to suggest and work out some details with me.

UPDATE: although i stand by my points made here in this thread, i am also (very) happy to see that i actually may welcome some people who already joined up in my town.
i didn't expect that, but i am very pleased with it.

i am... flabbergasted..
Thank you elmin77, quiliao, Belephya, CarlosClark, dere, Archintyeron, GPitbull, Kaleve, KinGZeus, AlystraKarel, Azzarash for joining the location i selected.

i will keep you informed on the town of course, and where possible and needed I'll reach out to discuss decisions for the greater good in our town.

ding ding ding...

@Zori ahhh. now i am satisfied. having a chuckle here. reminds me: i have an open spot in my town for you.... may i suggest a 'Jester' ? i'll provide you with a room and all.

I understand the fear of Pay to Win. I don't 'win' by having a city. i have to manage it. NPC normally should not want to go to war. so there is no my city NPC war versus your city NPC war. ergo: no pay to win.

For me a location (be it 1 or 100 players) is on its own no city. There need to be lots of NPC. (otherwise there are less people in one city then i have in my street. so. 1... or 100... should not matter.

What should matter is the fact that there is a city filled with NPC and hopefully players want to join because i manage my npc well to do profitable trade trade and such. Or did you think a siege against another city will work with all 15 players? i wonder how that would go.

and i don't mind that i only help development with a governor pack. If i can't manage a city i will gladly join someone elses, donate my $$ and venture forth.

Hello Dordolio here
Well... thats a bummer... last mail "Hello Governor! A few city-claiming tips for you" has some notes that made me less exited.

"Also, please notice that if you don't reach the MINIMUM number of citizen required by your city territory before the launch of Alpha 2 - Test 3, it will NOT be set as CLAIMED. The minimum is 5 citizens for small plots and 15 for large plots."

not hard. i always have all my friends join all my games. then i only need 4 more... that is why i leave games. the locations you can only do with 4 people or 6 or 12, 25 people mandatory raids and mandatory fun 15 people things. will have to see where this leads.

"After this test we're going to improve the World Map page to allow multiple governors to compete for the same spot. For now, however, we'd like to ask you to please move to a small city if you've claimed a large one but aren't planning to reach 15 citizens soon. There's no competitive side yet, hence no good reason to prevent other large groups from claiming a large city!"

compete? why? i did buy a governor package to have fun with a city. not to compete with others.. but maybe i did not read the fine print. we will see.

for me this is the message in a nutshell:
i am a governor of nothing unless i find other players.
i am NOT competitive at all. so... competitive side? why is there a competitive side?
sigh... i just want to fiddle with a city. i don't need / want to "win, conquer or whatever"
ah well.... the game is probably aiming for other kind of players.

Dordolio sings a sad song...

i found it.
when you make the window small it breaks apart.

its probably intended for smaller chunks of text, i'll figure out how to make it work...
Thanks for pointing that out

interesting... My browser (edge) shows this:

and i realise now that it is the text shown on the left when you click the pin on the map.
