It's getting to be ridiculous, with single homesteads spread all over the map blocking huge zones of land from tribal use.

Exactly. Homesteads are a problem. One homestead can block a tribe for 280m in every direction. I have a couple solutions to this. A. Designate areas for tribe use/ homestead use only. As well as shared areas. B. Allow tribes to overlap a homesteads land C. Dont allow homesteads to be placed for the first few hours of game time. D. Allow totems to be destroyed, even if the people inside are in a safe zone.
You do know that a lot of players are jsut messing with totems instead of reforming their tribes after every wipe etc ?
Let me see :-
A) No , because all you would get is a headache for the devs from people " crying " cause their spot is reserved for a homestead when they wanted ot place a tribe , and vice versa .
Get to the spot first is a simple solution
B) No , Why should Tribe land overlap homesteads ? , if that's allowed , then Homesteads should be able to come in and plant in the middle of your tribal zone and be safe .
C) No , everyone should have the same rights to place at the very start of the game , Everyone paid the same amount to play .
D) Again No , because a tribe / homesteader can NOT be only 24/7 to stop the totem being destroyed .
I agree, there was a homestead about 200m away, and we couldn't place our tribe totem because of it.
Homestead only have a radius of 50m. My current homestead sits right on the border of the edge of anothers homestead. As in the minute i leave my land I enter his. Homesteads do not block land up to 280m or 200m for that matter.

Right, it's that hard to form your 5 members on the run .. of course , i forgot that things like " voice comms " don't exist at all .
You do know that you can " click " things on the run , and type in tribe name etc , you don't " have to stand like a cabbage " at the start .......
Oh , and if i feel like joining in i will thanks .
Your basically trying to just give Tribes all the advantages , your idea was not making it fair to all by a long shot .
Oh, and yes that 1 person does have the same rights . Your 5 are " Choosing " to group together , no-one is making them .
What I'd like to know is what happens to a Homestead totem once the owner stops playing ?
Is there an inactivity timer ? Or does that totem block everyone for the next 6 months ?
As with all MMO's, there's usually a drop-off in population after the free playtime is over. How will the game rules deal with the inevitable abandoned Homesteads and even tribe totems ?
Well, in the old UO days, you had to log in to keep your house from falling down. It was a pain, but it worked. Then they changed it to as long as you had an account open and you were paying your monthly sub fee your house wouldnt deteriorate.
Maybe a daily or every few days to log in to keep your totem from deteriorating would work.
