I understand the "war camp" idea is way too much work, but it highlights alot of core issues.

I feel alot of these same core issues that I tried to address with the "war camp" idea could easily and more simply be addressed by just simply making it so nobody can drop a totem on a abandoned tribe land for 30 days after their totem disappears.

Some of the issues it would solve:

~People without alts being at huge disadvantage due to time required to move resources, while someone with a alt can claim it all instantly for zero time/effort/combat.

~First come first serve claim. A dozen people could be aware of when the totem is going to drop but the first person to show up and drop a totem will be the one to claim it all without effort.

~No conflicts or combat over resources. Since its first come first serve, this means that anyone else can come along after, see that a new totem is there and since they are unable to gain any resources or even kill the person who claimed it, they have no other option but to leave in disappointment.... I don't think the game should be disappointing like this in what COULD be one of the most exciting parts of the game.

Basically this would force everybody to invest the time to gain as much resources as they could, or kill anyone trying to take the resources, instead of instant claiming all of them in 1 sec.

Instead of it being something easy to do, this now becomes something harder to do. Instead of something that only takes 1 sec to drop a totem, it takes alot more time to sort through, cart up, or transport resources away... this opens up all kinds of cool gameplay mechanics that work WITH the player death/loot system like bandits or tracking someone who you know has a long way to go before they get those resource carts back to their tribe.

This opens up ALOT of cool gameplay that doesn't exist right now when someone can just drop a totem from a alt, claim it all, wall it off and bring their main to farm in safty, or pack it up, sort through it in safty.

Its a pvp server, but atm theres nothing to fight over, no contested areas, no reason to really do combat since alot of people don't travel for no reason outside of hunting, most folks stay in their home or area so fighting them outside of their homes is often not a solution.... but this would give people a reason to go somewhere and fight over the resources.
