Rubbish.

Which part is rubbish?  I'm not arrogant enought to need to learn by experiencing it; I can take the consensus of those who are more experienced then me :)  Simply because I say something doesn't mean I won't change my mind completely based solely on testimony of people like those in this thread....

So...

Are you saying that a newb can keep completely to himself, join no guild, get no resources from GC or anywhere else, read nothing about the games on the forum, and still progress as quickly as those that take advantage of these things?

Because that's what I said, and you called it rubbish?  Or am I misunderstanding?

What is your definition of "end-game content"?

"This is a bad idea and we shouldn't do it." - endorsement by HM

End game for me right now is a nebulous cloudy area where I am less of a newb and contribute more to the overall world.

I would imagine that it could be any number of things:
1) Having a military strength that makes you a valuable asset in your alliance.
2) Having the markets cornered and buying from you just how you want to. Making gobs of gold.
3) Being one of the go-to guys when someone in the alliance needs any of x y or z.
4) ... and so on really... 

Like any sandbox game my guess is that the end game here is community created.

I taught the latest CAVE rookie how to make his first million in a week. His pop is 450, with a new settlement. Making that first bit of coin is very rewarding, and it allows a lot of flexibility in your options once you can purchase all the items and resources that interest you. It's a lot more engaging than leveling your clay pit for the ninth time in a row. I think people forget that sometimes.


Making a million from scratch at 450 pop in one week? Can you teach me how to make a trillion then? :P
