Only problem I see now is twice the population fighting over one server for space.
"You are too close to an existing tribe."
Live it, love it, learn it.
PS - And yes I realize he reduced the homestead radius, modified the tribe placement radius as well as created clans. Still going to be a lot more people in the same amount of space.
Mods, can this thread be merged into the "official" discussion thread? I made it before the official one was up.
It is not a tram version as that would constitute two identical worlds with one being completly safe and the other not ie would have been tram if there were two servers.
Tribes simply have a small safe zone which is not unlike UOs towns being safe for the most part. So he made a good solid decision. Everyone is still fair game off their land. Lets just wait it out and see what happen during the end and after prelude.
I am by the way Pro PVP .
Dubanka see here for some info concerning going evil:

In that thread (granted it is an old thread) evil players will be able to full loot people, is that not a good enough carrot?
Btw Good players won't be able to loot or fight other good players or risk automatic tribe booting.
Oh wow, glad to hear from a Pro Pee Vee Pee!
Now sarcasm aside, there is a huge difference between being able to destroy any assets that you desire (granted you have the skill, or the numbers, or some politician mastermind) AND being able to destroy assets only of those people who officially agreed to it.
Most people seem to not realize that, in 2011, in an open PvP game, it's not enough to be able to kill any person anywhere any way you like. It's also important to be able to stomp their crap into the ground. Burn down. Freaking disintegrate.
My problem is not safe zones. My problem is that carebears will be able to avoid being completely destroyed, just by clicking 'I DONT WANT A WAR' button.
full loot is mostly a joke right now...you just permission your bags so they can't be looted...if it's of value you put it in there and it's untouchable.
the pve crowd likes to throw up 'full loot' as the ultimate pvp carrot...it's nto really. It's nice. We like getting stuff for our effort, but it's not the end all and be all.
In a game like this we want to be able to shape the world through our actions, and we want everyone to be on the same page.
So if you can be invuln, and have the ability to completely dodge all accountability for your actions, or your mouth (in game)...what penalty do you get for that? or what bonus to i get for accepting more risk.
The bonus is that you will be able to siege and conquer other tribes who wish to do the same. If thats not enough then just don't be a warring tribe.
Thats a bug, and alignment is not even implemented yet, so i guess we will have to wait and see how it turns out. If you don't like that you can always get a refund until the game improves enough.
