I was really hoping for about twice that size. It seems fine for simple towers but if you're more interested in building out instead of up it looks a bit limited. Hopefully during alpha we can push them to make it a bit bigger.

That's a decent sized plot TBH. I would like to know the limits they put on multi-plot ownership. If the costs are not too high, 2-4 plots is a pretty significant space for making stuff. Can't wait to get started.

No I understand that , something along 100mx100 or 150x150 would seem reasonable to me. Of course then we are cutting into their cha-ching they want to sell I'm guessing.

I was more pointing out there are some who thought they were getting along the lines of a square mile to build a mini town off the bat were not being realistic.

Had they said that's what you would get off the bat is one thing. That's not what they are saying, but are open to listen to feed back on plot sizes. People interested in large scale projects especially the guilds are put off by this at first glance.

It'll really depend on the upkeep cost too. If a player can afford several plots easily that it won't be such a big deal.

So wait that one square outline in the video was the entire claim? That's extremely small.

Man all the people that wanted to be dungeons and entire zones are going to be severely disappointed or most likely have to pay a lot of $ to have multiple all linked together.

It really depends on the upkeep imo. Have they said anything in this regard?

Personally I would hope that you can keep one plot that size without an upkeep. I hate having to micro stuff like that in games I dont actively play, and I equally hate loading it up again after a couple of months away and my precious dick castle has been reclaimed by nature or some guy remaking the pyramids of Giza on that plot.

That's one of the questions that have been bugging me about buying alpha, because for me this looks like the kind of game I dig out for a few days/weeks every couple of months. Although I might have some spare gaming budget for soonish thanks to another thread here

From what I gather even your first plot has upkeep on it so if you wander off for a while you can lose your spot. The upside is they've said once your plot lapses it'll save it as a template so when you come back you can plop it down again, though you may have to move if someone else now lives there.

Isn't the assumption the cost upkeep will cost real money? That was the vibe I was getting to prevent several accounts.

From the Q&A on the last page.

As you go out and collect resources in the world, you'll use a portion of that towards the upkeep on your claim.
It'll probably be some sort of exponential growth on resources is my guess.

The impression I got was that's the much quicker route, but that there will be also in an game way to do upkeep , where you could viably do a few , maybe several if you play a lot, but you aren't going to keep up with 50 accounts worth of plots in game without paying a shitload.

So essentially EVE's system. Buy sub with dollars or work your ass off in game to pay it with isk, until you are established enough in the game that it pays itself without much effort.

So, with the revelation of the world's tiniest claim space for a game centered around building and creating, anyone having buyer's remorse?

That brings up another question, I haven't heard them mention any sort of 'gold tier' subscription yet. Also wondering if they have plans to toss this onto the Station pass (if there is).

They really do need to work on that aspect. I definitely understand their reasoning for normal plots but there should be a feature where plots can be combined into a large whole for groups that want to do this.

We set our sights pretty high with the whole recreating EQ thing.

This is no different than many FTP games on the market now. To truly grow, you have to either constantly be playing or paying a fee. Don't want or need a large plot? Then you just have to play a certain amount every week(or whatever). Large plots can really limit the world. I have no problem with that as long as you can expand and have options. Which I'm sure there will be.

The best part is that anyone who's even constructively suggesting more claimspace about it on forums is getting shout down by stuff like, "It's not supposed to be creative like minecraft, this is an MMO!" and "Gamers are so self-entitled nowadays", even "a bigger claim would overwhelm me". I swear to god, I hate like 90% of forums communities. Fucking bootlickers, white knights and pollyannas everywhere. That's why I love all you miserable jaded bastards.

My non-existant minecraft skills wouldnt yield more then a broken down Karanas tower anyway, and that'll still fit on the plot!
