to be brutally honest, I bought in one night after more bourbon than usual.
YOU are MY Girl! 
I think my upgrade was also after some Bourbon while walking around in Pre. 
Not sure, what i was drinking, but i think it was Makers Mark 
Yeah @Tuoni i see your point.
And i am going with you, a bad system can give such Pro-Gamer-Guilds a big advantage to rule the whole world and for this reason to make smaller guilds leaving. It is not a fun to get ganked by "Pros" all the time, just because they can do it.
For this part i am sharing the concerns and i also don't want to have a One-Big-Guild-Rules-The-Game.
Let's cross all our fingers, that Dynamight will have a receipe for a good balancing.
That you can survive and enjoy the game even as very small guild.
Nothing is more frustrating in an player driven MMO, if you are forced to join a big big super ruler guild, just to be able to play all content.
@Tuoni well true, the bigger guilds always can be a problem for smaller ones.
My small guild definetivly will have it harder than the big guilds we already have. Also can buig guilds hold more townplaces of course.
But i think that a big guild will have also limits by maintaining them, if they spread too much, since they usually have just a core of active people and many on/off people who are not really hard related to the big guild. With the system just to be able to have one personal spot, it will be hard to decide who of them will manage each town. Once you struggle at one town to hold the Management in your hand, you probably need to send someone else to care for. Not sure if bigger guilds can stand this entirely.
Well i can be wrong and it will be easy to hold all these towns, but i doubt it, since not just towns prestige need to get maintained, but also the Ressource Spots all around. So i am not sure, if it payed out even for a big guild to hold "all" available townspots.
@Clinion i can understand your concerns about things you don't want in a game.
But don't do the mistake to compare games development with each other, because the studios are different with different ideas.
Even if a game looks very similar, it can be so different.
I am sure, Dynamight will do mistakes, as every other developement studio do in their life, and i am also very sure, they will do design decisions that maybe look at first sight somehow confusing to us.
Per example that they droped the Guild vs. Free Town developement and we will get just one kind of town.
At first mention i was like "Ohhh nooo, why?", but then they explained their decision and i was chilled again, because there are litterally no changes, you still can do a Guildtown and a Free town aswell.
But big Kudos to Dynamight, because they explained their decisions to us. I saw many other studios who did not.
Let's look to your concerns (some was already explained above):
- Albion has no players cities, only cities with rich people buying all the spots. I do not want to see that happen in Fractured.
Fractured player cities will not be a "Single Project", that means, yeah, you will be probably able to take as a single player a town spot, but you will not be able to develope this to a big town (or maybe you will be able if you play 24/7, but i doubt it).
As mentioned before, you are just able to have a single personal plot, so you will not be able to "live" in 2 different towns.
And also if you are a Governor of a town, you will maybe lose this status. That means, a town will not be your "own" forever, because there is a planned Election System for Governors.
- Gathering is very unpopular in Albion as far as I see. Game forces you to hardcore PvP and rewards those who does. Consequently people do not prefer gathering. Instead, they do newly introduced dungeons and hellgates to obtain money and gear.
This was mention above too, there will be no gear drop at Creatures.
That means for you, Gathering will be one of the main doing in this game, beside mining and creature drops of course.
You will need very much different materials for Crafting and Enchanting.
In Alpha2.2 we already have 2 Chests full of gathered materials and monster drops for Enchanting.
- Related to previous matter, in a sandbox game, I would love to see gathering&crafting be the backbone of everything and they should be the primary focus.
It is for sure, because all you need to wear you have to craft by yourself or for trading with others.
Equip has a durability, so there will be always a need for.
Also it is planned, that you will not have this One-And-Only-BIS-Armor, but many different equip for different situations: Gathering Equipment with Luck-Enchant, Winter Equipment for icy biomes ... and so on.
- Being a sandbox game should not indicate complete freedom. Currently in Albion, they are trying to reduce the power of huge alliances and guilds by applying certain debuffs and so on. Instead, there should be limits for number of players in a guild/alliance for proper control.
As i know, there are no planned guild limit.
But there will be limits on sieges. The exact value wasn't set, if i remember right.
Prometheus explained in the last Q&A, that at sieges will be limited slots on each side for participating in the Siege.
There will be a timeframe where you can register yourself to the Siege and just this people will be at the fight.
Registering on a Siege-Side/Defender-Side will be not limited to a guild or citizen of the sieged town.
That means, people will be able to help towns who are per example just trading/gathering/crafting towns, without being directly related to the town.
A part of this we will be able to test in the next Alpha Test in June.

@Kralith we supported the game in the state of a concept.
who of us can say @Girlxs was rushing it
Exactly
Welcome to the eternal league of extraordinary supporter @Girlxs!
As the others said, maybe after 2 minutes of watching a video, this decision wasn't the most smart one, but who of us is always smart acting?
If you feel "Yeah, i want to support that!", why not?
I did a similar thing, even i am usually very cautious with supporting before i know what i get.
Fractured was my first Kickstarter Pledge ever. And i even upgraded the Pack after just some steps in the Pre-Alpha later on.
Imagine, the Pre just had a single Biome square map, a naked character, simple tools, no skills, but a campfire.
I think it is not important that the game gives you a deep sight into it, to decide if you want to support.
It is way more that you drives to buy a supporter pack - the idea, the game Devs, the community and the belief to do the right thing.
Every supporter will have the hope, that the game comes to success and will cross all fingers for it.
Just enjoy it, because you are able to participate early on and you will be able to follow their progress very close.
You even will be a part of the people who are able to find bugs and make the game working with your helping hands.
@PeachMcD How it could be any different?
Congratulation to the winner!
Hello @RoyalX
For first, if you want, that the Devs listen to you, you should prevent to use just uppercase letters in your title.
Also as a second hint, explain your opinion a bit better, just to say others do same, is not a valid argument in my opinion.
We had this kind of "advice" more than once the last 3 years and we had some nice discussions about. Maybe it is worth, if you watch out some of them
Hello @Mars11, welcome to the community!
If you search people who can form a group with you, you should watch out the Guild Recruitment and Town Planning sections.
There are many people who are still in Alpha and are surely happy to find contact to others too.
@Phial it is not a pay to win, since you get enough knowledgepoints to unlock your skills you need.
The increased knowledge points is promised to be very slightly and just made for people who are completionists in a long run.
I bet this plus will don't play a role in early game, it is more supposed to be like (imagined knowledge situation!) you can learn how to use a flower in a receipe to make a nice flower bouquet, it is all you need to know to get your love stucked on you, but with the extra Knowledgepoints you will be able to learn to use red, blue and purple flowers too.
Yeah its a bit sad, i was hoping to meet you @Lohen and the guys of course too.
But yeah, would be interesting if Dynamight will do some things related to the Gamescom Online.
@humerus i guess, he was wondering, how he stepped that high
@Gibbx i guess you won some weekly drawings
Wow.... nice thing!
Cross my fingers for a great open playtest!
Oha... PVP thingy will be out... i am scared
Hope it is okay, if i probably don't go to test PVP much.
I guess i will just going to pick up flowers 
Uuuuiiii, @Specter with a Crown!!!!
You deserve it
And also,
Congratulation to the Winner!
Hallo @Kikoo
Willkommen bei uns.
Setz dich, nimm dir einen 
und 
und mach es dir bequem.
@Prometheus said in Website & Forum Migration Completed:
It's just so many I don't know where to begin!
Start with the first one, then one after another.
Maybe like a "Daily dose of Fractured."
@hooby Did you tried to delete your cache?
They moved the Website to another Server, maybe thats the cause you have some problems.
We should ask @Prometheus if there are some problems known
@Oxfurd that's because people like you are in this community.
I want to say thank you too, to you and all the other nice people we have here.
I am really hoping for a cool gameplay together, no matter if we work together or compete with each other.
