Mike believed in the shooting star, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then,but that's no matter. Tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther... and then one fine morning-
So we beat on, subs against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
Is it possible to upgrade founders packs? Like if I buy the cheap one and I really like the game, can I spend 70 for the top pack?

This is what you should do in fact. Buy the cheapest pack and decide if you like it IMO

I wonder how many people have screen capped the spy post from other guilds, posted it in their officer section, and are now beginning a witch hunt that will result in nothing because...

some of those officers ARE goons.

Most used new feature has been the duelling function. You can even wager silver in a duell.

I have heard due to the success they have added to their development backlog

a) Group Duells
b) Possibilities for spectators to bet silver on the outcome/winner

Just rumours though. You can never trust these greedy devs.

If this is the case (super secret dev leaks in this thread) I would love to see a Gladiator Arena property added to cities, that way I can run bum fights out of it and collect taxes on people betting

That giant area that is used for buying the town would be a great place for such an event! I'm pretty sure it's the map for the 20v20 or whatever a town battle is, but fighting there in the middle of an arena during that would also be really cool.

I'm not going to lie, I think it'd be great to have a 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 5v5 or 10v10 or however big arena, rankings, a viewing area, and a betting window that came up.

Alternatively there could be a warpto point from a fight announcer or something that teleports players to an arena in use or something

I'm throwing ideas out left and right but basically let me own a place to host bum fights please and thank you

Is this going to be a bum rush for space to make a house or whatever? Like the appeal dwindles if I need to drop a bunch of cash because to first day land grab to get space from a swath of nerds.

You can build your own personal house out in the main world, but there aren't really many advantages to that. Setting up shops in some strategic locations might be a slight rush, but most good spots were still open a few days/weeks into testing last time. City/territory plots might see a rush, TBD if it'll be as bad as it was last time though, or if most folks decide to setup on their guild islands first. For comparison sake, It won't be like AA.

There hasn't been anyone who's a serious jerk off from the people here so it would be kinda silly to not work together.

Also kylra is solid and I trust their decision

One of the reasons why they have the "land auction system", to allow for some "Economy PvP".

Land Auction System:
  • You only rent a plot for 30 days
  • At the end of this period a bidding starts for this plot
  • However the owner gets a multiplier on his bidding in case he wants to keep it

Example:
  • Someone bids 100 Silver for your plot
  • You have a multiplier of 5
  • The multiplier is setup by the devs
  • You only need to bid 20 Silver to keep your plot
  • If You do not bid 20 Silver you get a % of the 100 Silver (I think right now its 50%)

You'll always have some land that is just for you on your personal island. There's zero chance of an Archeage type situation.

You'll probably use most of your personal island for farming purposes, but I'm going to hold off on a longer explanation as to why that is until a guide is put together.

Is there currently a timer that shows when the plot will be available for bidding again? I haven't checked plot rentals yet so I'm unsure. (For both the owner and for anyone interested in owning the plot)

I believe there was last alpha, the problem was it just showed the time until the next payment was due not if they could afford it or not. So you didn't really know if you could buy it out at that time. I assume they are using the same timer to instead just offer bidding.

In related news, they changed the name of the "Guild Discussion" section of the AO forums to "Forum PVP" because we basically carpet shitposted that forum into oblivion. :wooper:

Yes you can see when the plot is available for bidding. The bidding period is also a few days. So you have time to organise yourself the money from your local goon.
