It seems silly to allow us to build stuff if we can't knock it down.

I really have hope for this community yet. I honestly do. Its almost like a cute little baby tiger that has the potential to really pwn some peoples faces off...or get caught by a zoo keeper and be caged all day and have cute little stuffed baby tigers for sale all around its safe home and takes pictures with chinese tourists all day.
/sarcasm off
Glad I got so many panties in a bind. Good to see you are all alive and really concerned about this game. Hopefully, in 6 months, many will see the potential that im talking about with siege warfare. So many people get appalled when they see words like "asset destruction" and "ffa pvp".
Stressing it - I'm not personally trying to make this game a clone of any other. I'm simply trying to seek out optimistic ideas and open-minded people that hopefully see how great the potential for this game is. NOT ruin it as a whole regardless of one's own personal beliefs.
I believe you should be able to do almost anything you can in real life that you can do in-game. But in real life you just don't go out and pwn some noobs and destroy towns. If you do that in real life there are consequences, and there should be consequences in-game as well.
Honestly, it would be impossible for me to see this game as "boring" because the ability to conquer other tribes does not exist. I would definitely see it as a tragedy, as in xsyon having missed such a great potential opportunity...even if it be 1 year down the road. Remember, myself and everyone involved with me are going to be doing the exact same amount of crafting as everyone else...we just are enjoying the risk/reward potential.
I bought the game fully aware of everything stated on the forums. I bought it agains the majority that I know criticizing the combat system and various other aspects of the game and scope. I bought it because im positive it will be massively enjoyable REGARDLESS of how I personally hope it ends up. I have fanatical faith, and hope, in this whole project.
I dont think 2 servers are the answer. My tribe will NEED the things YOUR tribe are making, most likely by trade rather than force. Underneath my pvp exterior is someone who appreciates all the same things you do...however...I simply prefer good competition and risk/reward over all the rest. Believe it or not, you guys need MY type of player because, as recruitment pm's have proven to me, you've personally got quite a good bit of "evil" interested in you guys anyway. AKA - im not above merc'in ;]
First off, dont mention RL: too many around here take it way too far and waaaaay too seriously. Sad, really.
Secondly, you are completely right and i agree 100%. Im SUPER excited about enjoying every aspect of it! However, if we are in a post apocalyptic world, and someone starts stealin what's rightfully MY junkpile...well...theres friction...and probably someones gonna get a busted head.
Highly doubt it would be all rainbows and glitterfarts with everyone saying "lets craft together" and "sure ill share my limited resources with you even though it might cost my survival, lets talk around the fire..." Just aint gonna happen 100% of the time, ya know?
The only thing that makes me iffy is the whole tribal seiging thing, if you were in a post apocalyptic world you would have someone on watch at the tribe at all times and people would only leave to get supplies and such. This is a game, so you cannot have that. That's why I think tribal safezones are good.
Right on, I agree with you. Now, would you imagine that some other tribe would be VERY interested in another tribes junk pile, especially since theirs is gone? Or another tribes bountiful fishing location, or extremely defensible/strategic location, or even encroachment and overpopulation of their borders? If a tribe has nowhere else to go...what are they going to do? Venture peacefully and nomadically completely across the map to an open area that potentially has less than where they are? Or would they consider taking over (potentially violently) another tribe's area that has mysteriously vacated the premesis? (consider tribes /quitting game here)
I honestly shudder to think of the reality that would really be in the "real world". Consider the conquistadores and native americans for example.
