POTs again

I have other screen shots, but that one is the most important to me.

I'm sure if the screenshot somehow supports SotA or defends the dev team, then it's A-OK.

"Insults (and screenshots) not tolerated, unless they're pro-SotA... then, insult and screenshot away!" ~Starr Long's moderation policy

I didn't know that.

I had no idea.

Gestapo!

But but but she's a dev tech sister of a guy who knows a guy whose uncle knows a dev

Let me clarify So the first times I got banned, banned, and then 1st permaban the reason they gave me was for posting screen shots of the forum.

Why did they use this as an excuse? Despite my words and I could have been inserting passages of the bible next to them, the screen shots were stories in of themselves. A picture is worth a thousand words, and those thousand words were of moderators being fucking totally retarted, racist, abusive, giving other users passes and so on. Exactly the opposite of everything they just recieved an ONBE for, what a fucking joke that is btw.

Was an excuse to ban me, all it was. You can post anything you want from sota forum anywhere on the internet, it is only a case of poster beware. Same goes for Dev+, no Dev+ user has signed an NDA and that was the first sign that they weren't serious about meaningful engagement with the community.

After Spoon told me I was "being aggressive" and to "take a break and calm down," I knew the fur was going to fly even worse so I haven't bothered reading anything beyond that. I knew it would be one huge fuck fest over there.

Every single "like" is from another person who got screwed for buying a POT, or is trying to screw other people with their multiple POTs. So those likes don't count. They are utterly meaningless because of course they're going to be biased.

I mean honestly, those twats think the game would be nothing without them and their obscene amounts of money. We should bow to them or some shit.

The interesting and funny thing is, back when I gave the statistics that with their current business model, not even the original 26,000 backers (that number has changed more times than I can count) would be able to place a house unless they had at least 200 towns. At that time, they all dog piled Tarsilion and me for saying it, saying, oh they could expand land endlessly and do just that.

And now look what's happened with over 200 POTs. They don't know where to put them all so are talking about instancing them. All I can do is laugh at such stupidity. They want one big map that's overstuffed, useless and ugly with all their POTs.

I wouldn't rent from a single one of them if my life depended on it. I'd quit the game before giving them any gold in the game.

I find it funny, that Port keep finding new and inventive ways to create casts of society in their game flowing from IRL contributions.

Got in early on POTs? Great, here is a spot on the map. Not so early? We're still selling them don't worry! But, your ass isn't on the map, it is connected to someone else's POT because they sucked our dicks first.

This creates a caste. This creates a demand for Orig POTs on the market. This creates an opportunity for people to drop $$ fast without details on POTs with the hope they can sell later for $$$$ back. This creates rage in my brain.

In the eyes of the flock, the devs can do no wrong. You said it yourself: when one calls for instanced housing, the sheeple rise up in arms; yet when the devs say it's for the best, no greater idea has ever graced the earth. If they said tomorrow that they cannot do a full single-player game (which is actually quite possible) or an MMO-like we currently have (even more probable, as they won't have the funds to keep the lights on month-to-month), these people would still be happy and defend it.

Even though thousands of people backed strictly for the single-player experience, and thousands more for the online capabilities alone. I've said it multiple times on SotA, but this is a niche game that doesn't fill any niche. SecondLife does socializing and customization/decorating better. Literally any other game online does PvM better. There are several UO-successors (to say nothing of the freeshards) that do nostalgic UO better. While not many renaissance games that are high quality for PvP, there are still better options nonetheless, plus all the non-medieval PvP MMOs and online games. That's to say nothing of all the single player games that are way better.

The most competitive market (MMOs) within the most oversaturated genre (generic fantasy) with non-competitive mechanics (card combat), graphics (era 2011-12) and art (EPIC LEVEL FOOTBALL ARMOR). And this game will get enough people to pay the server rent, much less fill all 200+ towns?

The tears will be bitter and angry, and flow deep and wide. I honestly cannot wait.

Guess how many Player Owned Towns they cranked out between R19 and R20?

113. One hundred and thirteen. Take 100, and add 13.

For the love of christ, any mother fucker that ever says this has not delayed the game is on fucking meth and I'll knock your teeth out.

A bunch of them have bought multiple towns. Duchess, Envy, and others have openly admitted that on the forums. So it's really not 100+ people. It's probably around 10-15 people buying up all those. All the more indication that game really isn't doing as well as some people claim.

How are you able to track this?

Interesting stuff! You must have a lot of patience to compile all that lol
