Plans for the Next Week

13 Thg02, 2018 @ 4:09pm - Willy McBride
Introduction

Hello all,

The server has been receiving daily influxes of new faces, which is very exciting to see! This does, however, mean that players are coming into the server/group as it is rapidly changing. I want to take a second to inform these players that things will be more organised in the near future

Things can only proceed with the help of you all incredibly amazing people. You have made this server great, and I am so happy for it, and it is up to you how it goes from here.

Major Decision

As you all probably know I didn't begin this server with too much organisation to back it up, and because of that I'm making a lot of details about the server in a very short amount of time. These decisions would be better implemented if one thing were to happen: a server restart.

I know what you're all probably thinking. You've come too far to start over now, and I wouldn't blame any of you if you wanted to leave right now. I personally feel that this might be a good option, but not an immediate one. As I said before though, it is all up to you guys. It would be taken to a vote.

In the event of a server restart, skill points shall be given out to the players to ease the transition into the new era of the server! There would also be a pre-made government set up before the server starts, which would include officials in different departments, a currency, pre-made districts, and a job list that would help outline what we need in terms of professions

Along with this would come a re-tailored ruleset, and a list of plans for specific role-playing events. There would be no meteor in this server, as I believe it has caused people to rush to the goal of destroying it instead of focusing on role-play.

All In all this might be beneficial to everybody, but it shall be taken to a formal vote.

What to Expect from Era 2 of Eco-RP

If we do go through with this, here is a list of things to expect from it as you enter:
- Large list of role-playing events
- New ruleset
- Government established before server start
- Skill point boosts to ease process into new server
- Skill point rate increase
- Google document showing list of jobs & who is doing what
- Currency handed out by government
- Mod introduced
- Mayor's Home, which the village will be built around
- Market square
- Pre-defined districts (housing/trades/market/industry/nature reserves)
- Tweaks to code to make pollution more realistic
- Possible Enjin forum

Wrap Up


I have a lot of the foundation work basically done, and will happily post it on a Google document so that all of you can see. As I said though, this is all up to you guys and girls.

Please tell me either here in the announcement, create a discussion on the Steam page, or talk about it in Discord.

Again, thank you all. You're amazing!

There are two problems with the high collaboration settings, skill trees like cooking, smelting, and farming (high end) take many skill points and as u increas the collaboration lvl not only does it exponentially increase sp cost for specialties it also exponentially increases costs for lvl skills already learned. With no collaboration setting to be a competent cook that has reached end game cooking takes around 1000-2000 sp and with our current inflation that is double with high it is x8. Farmers and Smiths at high end will spend around half that. Also on the higher collaboration settings sp/day is also reduced from 2 at no collaboration to .1 on high (max collaboration setting). So you are asking people to spend weeks in real life just to do their job on the basic ends thats not including researching high end stuff and doing those said jobs.

I'd have to agree with Aramis on a few points. If the server gets reset (or we wait for the meteor impact), I'd highly recommend putting the Server Collaboration to the highest difficulty. This'll practically force people to have one specific role and stick to that Skill Tree. Yes, people prefer to be independent by nature and will do everything themselves if they are able to, selecting a group of people to socialize and work with, but for this kind of game we need everyone to work with each other.

i do feel that we need to heavily discuss this before we decide to restart, becouse many people who have created a big impact on the current world have already said that they will not join in on the next world if there is a wipe, which would not be very fun. I have grown relationships with multiple players, and i would hate to lose any becouse majority wanted a wipe. it should still come down to a vote though, and hopefully we cn get certain people to change their minds, but a wipe over all would be beneficial for the server.
(also, sorry, i got the same prompt on length :P)
Doom 13 Thg02, 2018 @ 6:30pm 
I do think a server wipe would help and make it so we can plan for things ahead on day zer, such as where districts are and saving room for new players as they join. i have noticed that due to the un-specific rule of "settle near the lake" it seems everyone feels they have to live within eye sight of water, which i dont think i meant at all. basically the main village area is getting quite cramped, and the area around my house i was planning on possibly saving for a friend is now entirly taken, so that is not an option for me anymore.

I've posted a longer response in the discussions, because it was too long for here, but in summary I can agree with starting the server for technical reasons. And if we do so we should certainly organize things a bit better. But we should not do so simply to make the game easier.
Aramitz 13 Thg02, 2018 @ 4:34pm 
Ah (sorry for the triple post but i don't think we can edit comments...), and I also feel bad about the unique currency being given from the start, tbh. I really do think Credits are something great in the game, prioritizing equivalent exchange and mutual service over simple coin hoarding (and I say that as the dude hoarding a ♥♥♥♥ ton of ingots).

Anyway, no matter what, I think i'll stay and see, you're doing a nice job anyway. These are just my 2 gold monies

3) I sincerely think that gifting SP is not that great. I mean, early game skills cost basically nothing. Would be weird to have a city full of greatmasters in masonry / carpentry on day 0... And I'd also even add that if you make a server without a meteor, SLOWING the SP gain (0,5x, both from food and houses) might be the only way to avoid quick boredom and let people do something else that grinding stuff again and again and again.

(This is my humble opinion of "semi-competitive" player)

Aramitz 13 Thg02, 2018 @ 4:31pm 
Interesting.

If you decide to start over, though, there are however some precautions to take:
1) Please do it a friday evening, or a saturday. Nothing more depressing that coming from work on a week day, realize that there was a wipe, and that you are 12 hours "behind". I know that might seems silly, but the "Discovery/Conquest" part of the game is something I do like.

2) Consider putting the "Collaboration" setting of the server to the maximum (high ? very high ?). That'll greatly increase the cost of learning new specializations. So people will try to collaborate more, instead of trying to do everything by themselves. Especially with the player base we have now ! Medium collaboration is supposed to be for 3-10 "regular" players, I think.
