welcome aboard Mars! Lots of great folks to party up with!

If you're not looking to reinvent the wheel, take @Kralith's advice and head to the Guild Recruitment section - lots of folks looking for guildies there, w all sorts of possible guild goals/purposes.

@humerus makes a great suggestion re the discord channel, also @Oxfurd has a twitch channel that's a lot of fun.

And I want to give you snaps for posting an actual comment rather than just 'daily post' on that thread. It's how I've been doing it for quite some time, and my experience is that the devs honor that extra thought with bonus FP from time to time in their weekly drawing.

'Token' definitely works for me

nice, so excited my pants fell off.

That happens to me ALL THE TIME. I'm so glad I'm not the only one...

@Superman0X sharing that he's a pro gamer who has professionally managed f2p conversions is a fascinating turn. Very interesting perspective to have on our forum, and truly intriguing if he's invested. It would never have occurred to me that 'freemium' wasn't a starter position for a game in development. I'll be following to see what other insights you share!

My experience of freemium games is much like @FibS - a small group of spendy whales running the show and harvester bots making it necessary to verify my humanity w annoying frequency. When @Tuoni says some f2p games are successful, I'll take their word for it - aside from Game of Thrones Ascent, I haven't run into one that I stuck with for very long. But I keep downloading them on my phone, cuz I can't seem to survive w/o a phone game anymore.

One's definition of 'success' definitely plays a role in how a person approaches a project of any sort. This is where @Oxfurd's reminder about the universe of opinions comes in....

Do the devs want to make a sustainable living or join the 1%? Will a steady # of players in a variety of cities and situations be satisfactory, or will we be sad if we never need to buy a bunch of new servers? I've got an opinion, but not a crystal ball...

seriously relieved to know we won't be having multi-city governors. Thanks for raising the question, @VyrVandalous & thanks for laying that nightmare to rest, @Specter

Wowza THANKS!! <happy dance> I'm a consul at last

Dynamight Gold

Demonollar
Beastmark
Menyen

+1 this! (is that a typo tho? did you mean Demondollar?
one foreseeable issue is that the inevitable abbreviation of the Beastmark will be kinda shitty
maybe in honor of our devs, and sounding more fantastical, "Beastlira"?

Thanks for the idea in the OP, @Tuoni I nominate you for a Wednesday Win.

@Specter I’ve seen other games attempt this, push it out to the community but the idea eventually dies—falling flat on its face.
I hope it works out for fractured.

Were you speaking specifically in response to Specter about a single megaserver? Or about the game concept? or... ?

I'm easily confused - your use of 'this' in "I've seen other games attempt this" has a lot of possible referents. If there's a constructive suggestion here, I'd love to know it.

I'm thinking of VIP subscription as a player's way to say 'devs need to eat too'

I'm really happy to plonk down for a B2P where I get everything I need w/o having to be constantly dinged for microbuys to do a highly rewarded event or get a scarce but important crafting resource.

The VIP subscription won't change the odds in anyone's favor, but I'm happy that it will show on my toons that I am supporting the game and the staff needed to run it.

@jdero welcome! It's been a while - at least a year or so. lots of great info on the main Fractured site:

WOOHOO first time to win a weekly drawing!!

An awesome feeling. Congrats! I'm really happy about the new names on this forum. Looking forward to seeing y'all in-game soon

WOOT! More game time.
So glad to hear that things are easing up in EU. Praying that no spikes occur to ruin the progress y'all have made.

I find it fascinating that, with two planets wide open for PvP action, it seems vitally imperative to some folks to ensure that their PvP action pushes whatever boundary @Prometheus & the devs might decide to set up.

I personally think that the devs have done a really cool thing in Fractured by creating a world where those who dont' dig PvP can play against the environment, or travel to other parts of the game for a more controlled PvP experience, or create another toon to fight with.

I also think it's really cool that the devs have set up some stiff barriers to violent incursions, to ensure the enjoyment of the game by those who have chosen that environment over the 2 (count'em TWO) planets where PvP is just fine and dandy.

This is, obviously, the cue for anyone who hates any kind of limitation on their prerogatives to debate the need for/desirability of those barriers, and look for ways around them, instead of playing on their own f'ing TWO PLANETS.

Can you tell how I feel about that? Here's some emojis

I can't tell folks how to play, or what to want, but I would ask y'all to consider being mindful of what will attract/repel others. I don't think I'm the only one who invested in this game because I would be able to enjoy PvE w/o getting attacked by people who have spent LOTS of time getting big and bad. If I want to fight other players, I can go to another planet anytime.

Pushing the boundaries on Arboreus, simply for the sake of doing so, has the potential to fubar Fractured's whole basic concept. I like Fractured's whole basic concept very much.

@Tuoni

I suggested an orb and I guess it is a same thing as scrying ball? Anyway, if so, I would definitely want to see those in Fractured. Magnifying glass was interesting suggestion but it also made me wonder how it can be utilized and what is its function?

whoops, missed that! Great minds think alike, and so do ours
also, GRATZ on the weekly drawing win

Gratz gratz gratz y'all! Wooot!!!

heya @Xodite!
Are you interested in playing a Beastkin? Let's chat! I'm thinking about putting together a guild of guides, recognized throughout Arboreus for their ability to protect visitors to our world (tourists, merchants) and earning their living while not being rooted in one city.

hihi @Jamsquanch! Great to see someone who found their way here via a random path. That tells me that there's lots of bread crumbs out there, and buzz building. Great news for the devs!

I've found that this forum is the best place to discuss Fractured - ideas, possibilities, concerns... the devs are very present and they listen. It's also a cool community.

But for updates/info, the Fractured site, the discord channel linked above, and @Oxfurd's twitch channel are probably the quickest ways to get info in real time if that's your priority.

In any case, once you've subscribed you're on the mailing list and get anything important via email.

great thread. My favorite idea so far is the magnifying glass. One thing I didn't see (might've missed?) is a skrying ball. That would definitely make use of specific powerful reagents and confer a lot of helpful information for the caster so equipped.

@Tuoni LOL If someone gave me $5k that's probably the exact last thing I'd do with it.

The P2W folks are mostly someplace else (thanks b to God). SOooOOoo many places their $$ translates into rewards and being able to boss folks around. I bought in to this game because it's set up differently and,having played a LOT of p2w freemium games, I am happy to front some cash for a different experience.
