OH snap! Devs acknowledged that some people are getting their starter packs multiple times. The one with the extra gold and stones and gliders and shit. But, they said that none of it can be sold/traded so not a game breaking thing. Then people are saying "Ummm, yes you can. I'm selling mine for 20 silver each." People are pointing out that the extra stones, or whatever are allowing people to buy massive guild houses, or something. Basically, the game is duping starter kits at an alarming rate. Oh, then of course other people aren't getting theirs at all!

So, it's similar to UO? Where having houses close to towns was good for foot traffic, etc. However, in UO, you had recall, so it really didn't matter where your house was.

So, in the end, you anticipate plenty of land for people, but most of it will be in inconvenient locations where you have to travel long distances to get anything done?

There is recall in this one too. it just costs money and time to use.

I got 3 useless gliders. I think they are saying you can buy multiple of the $150 packs for resources?

Damn. People straight buying this game.

No, they are saying that there is a bug where the servers are issuing rewards multiple times.

And when you say "money", in game money, or real money? Or in game money that was bought with real money?

The report I read was that the server was issuing gliders, costumes and something else multiple times, but no big deal because it is not game breaking or sellable. Other people are reporting being able to sell their gliders for 20 silver each. They aren't buying multiple starter packs at 150 each. They are buying one, and the server is giving them the rewards multiple times. But they said the guilda stone reward thing is NOT being rewarded multiple times. Some people say they are, but the 'devs' have not confirmed that. Probably wouldn't, either.

20 silver is like 1/5 of a cow. Who cares?

Oh the Gilda thing. Yeah, that's how all the immediate land was taken. Being able to get 10, then run the first 5 main quests and boom, house. Was that at 150?

Ya. Kind of glad my paypal transaction wasn't going through. I'm amazed you are having the luck you are, based on what I'm reading. I was starting to think that maybe it was the same few people just raging in that thread. But, there are a ton of 1-3 post count posters in there.

People are really fearing 4 days from now when the flood gates of free players try to join.

To own land/house, you have to have patron, right? Which means you are paying a monthly fee of some kind, right?

I'm not sure which package got you what. I only looked at silver. People keep talking about 'founders'. Is that the 150? I thought all packages were 'founder' packages because you are buying early.

There are a ton of people in game. I wonder if they underestimated the player count or something.

Thinking about finding a more reasonable spot for the second character and then sell my original holdings.

Your land? As much money that people were spending for a CHANCE to place early and in the best spot. . . I wonder how much more they would spend to get it.

And there's 'grief placing' too. Place in the middle of other people's spots so they can't expand. They have to buy you out!! We used to do that a lot in UO. :-)

Restarted and back in the hour long queue. Had a good run. Second character at 9. But stuck on the Gildar quests. I can still get a farm at 10, but it's bullshit i can't get another house because the main quest line is broken for me. At least I can recall back and try to fix it.

So here's the other thing. I figured there would be plenty of room, but it's not looking like that at all.

You can, when you don't own land or just want a gigantic crop of something. Plant illegal farms. Like, mexico cartels growing weed in National parks.

They are just like regular plants, trees, sheep, plants. But anyone can pick them up. You can either try to hide these, or put them in pvp zones and protect them? Dunno. It'll be a thing, especially with land being so scarce.

Ya, I saw that you can plant unprotected stuff, but anyone can take it, kill it, etc.

Just found: No, you can not own land without patron status. Well, you can, but you can't pay taxes on it, which means you lose your land when your taxes run out. They did this so people couldn't create multiple free accounts and fill up all the land! hehe Just seems funny that their handful of paying customers have already done that within hours of game launch. And I predicted 6 months!!

Ya. Selling your land is going to be profitable, I think.

Just went to ebay to see if it was starting yet! No land for sale, but one guy is selling his account which has the $150 package for $70. He doesn't have time to play and he wants to try to recoup some of his money.

Stranger and I partied and talked today while leveling. System seemed pretty solid. The bottlenecks were a bitch.

Step One to getting everyone into large farms. Grape Production. I threw down 6 saplings on Tas before I switched.
