I love these posts. The game will still be "as advertised" but changing some game mechanics to make it suit what was intended. In MMO's its hard to predict what will happen with any given change. The spirit of the game is still the same with ships, cannons, taming, etc..

Regardless, like everyone else has said, you played 500 hours you got your moneys worth, period.

Also, a bank is required to be built first. You wont be able to just drop a flag and move on. While this isnt the hardest feat, it requires a minimum of like 11 levels and a decent amount of materials in total

I think you guys are forgetting something.  If the landowner DOESN'T build and protect his tenants then their bases get wiped and his upkeep costs go up.  If the landowner decides to pillage his own tenants for resources, his upkeep will go up (possibly even higher then the amount of resources he stole).

I think the Devs are hoping to set-up a kind of Mayor/Town setting where one Company is in charge of running an island and setting up rules/protection, and if he lets the island become a lawless apocalyptic wasteland of looters and trolls then all the good "farmers" that would help him pay his upkeep will leave.  Eventually his grand utopia dream will crumble and die as he realizes that without his farmers he can't afford to keep the island anymore.

Yes. It gives freedom to the slave companies to do what they want and not worry about putting up defenses. They can just worry about passively getting resources through the taxes for things like defenses. It sounds like it will work like a country were citizens build homes and stuff and give the government money to protect them.

How bout just stop coming here? Stop being so dramatic and just leave.
