I think a big part of that is because of #2 also. Everybody who is shipping packs around for $$$ is doing it intracontinental and sticking to safe zones. Gilda star runs to Freedich are rare enough that getting ~20 people and guarding freedich just isn't worth it.
Yeah there's been very few news updates the last few weeks (partially because I've been traveling and moving and partially because the game has somewhat stabilized and posting trade pack runs and fishing raids is meh). The only funny thing going on now is the war between The White Order and GankBus. I'm not going to comment on it except that it's more funny because of how petty it is rather than being major.
When you think about it, it's not all that surprising. Hereafter stones are one of the easier ways to level up, so the demand for the raw materials, either bricks or raw stone is still high enough to warrant a price compared to the finished product.
Any insight to what the deal is with the drone strikes? Is that just their word for initiating PvP or does it have a deeper meaning?
A number of their players claim they are ex-mil. It's one of their recruitment talking points. Although in this case, it's a bunch of false bravado.
I'm still waiting for an explanation from you on that!
Most of the fatcat guilds made truces and alliances "hey let's take castles but please no PvP during the process" so it's getting quite stale. Yeah, most of them call themselves "hardcore PvP". Not so much hardcore when you have something to lose, heh.
Sounds like an entire guild full of Rescorlas. "What's the difference between a 2 hand staff and a 2 hand sword guys??????"
Yep. Any group not affiliated with getting a castle/pebbles was focused on getting land and a lot of groups executed really well.I heard this launch was a clusterfuck, with D/C issues and all of the land completely gone within seconds of a zone being claimed.
