Why this late on Plymouth am I still only seeing 3-4 walls?

no clue how Dis was run at all.

Sure I do. Run by bots.

I basically stopped playing salem now because i realised there is no way to engage in pvp (more than once per character) as a hermit/small group - you will always be summon-killed if you attract the attention of a large enough group. This seems odd given the dev's philosophical leanings.

(I assume that if you are dedicated enough you can make it work a little better, but the time spent doesn't seem worth it for the fun gained.)

Your honestly so wrong, but I won't tell you why for a couple months.

i think this forum is full of schizophrenia.

Animals AI - awesome
Farming - awesome, much better than in hnh
Gardening - awesome
Capital cities safe zones - awesome
Stalls - awesome
$ shop - awesome (just need prices balance)

Actually, the Animal AI is atrocious. But its failure doesn't particularly hurt the game all that much, just makes me sad.

I'm lukewarm on farming, not being an HnH person I'm not making a relative comparison there. It's not terrible, but the spammable fertilizer seems a tad forgiving. I also feel like they missed some opportunities to do stuff with soil, erosion and biome matching vis a vis crops. *shrugs*

Gardening is ok, but too many plants are not garden-able. Why can't I grow milkweed (for example)? It is a little bit of a one size fits all factor as well. Getting purity on gardening objects is a pain (and a somewhat unnatural one at that), and, on what I'll call a Shiala-like note, there are not any pretty flowers or even ferns to garden for beautification of your hamlet. Can't grow or transplant bushes either.

Capital city safe zones and stalls I think can (and have been) debated ad nauseum.

As for the cash shop? Well, they do have to make money somehow. I hope the shop is working for them. Prices seem ludicrously high to me, but maybe given the small player base of Salem, that's what it takes. I don't have access to their financial figures to know for certain.

with all of this pissing and moaning about a half dozen guys i can just imagine the reaction if one of the large 1000 member darkfall or shadowbane type guilds that usually have a 70+ member core and top notch organization decided to play salem .

There usually was not 70+ members in a SB nation (maybe cn most I ever saw of cn on at time was 100ish)... I was part of CT and before that ran with Borus for almost five years.

CT consisted of about 15 members and we would fight groups of CN ranging from 30-50 team work was really the reason we succeeded and us old sb vets got the rep for being hardcore pvpers.

There is some old CT vets roaming around not so much here I think. But currently most hang on sbemu forums as development slowly progresses towards bringing the original nation building game back to its glory. Starfire (or something) is now part of the development team of the sbemu use to go by nick of Skitz back when we played.

Thanks for remembering us though there darwoth.

was a fun fight 2 nations vs one?

I miss Shadowbane, and sbemu is much to slow for me to keep up on the progress. I think I've given up on Shadowbane being reborn again.
