    sounds like a crappy job to me.

    maybe someone should log into the game and see how little gold there is in the auction house, probably a symptom of the new fixed economy.

    PWRD lost 2.42% of their stock value today. wake up.

    Can a GM please respond to this b:cute

    So if the defending faction wanted to fake bid... all they'd need to do is put in a silent bid on that land for 1m and nobody would would TW with them unless they spent more.

    But seeing how there is no longer a refund, everyone will be placing minimum bids.

    Anyone wanting to **** with TW could and nobody would be the better for it.

    If they get outbid, does that mean they're out for the week since they're only allowed to bid once?

    I guess what strikes me most about this is that we waited and let some time pass, as Frankie requested, and to everyone's astonishment, it's actually worse than any of us imagined. b:surrender

    So it's more like you let yourself get robbed for a chance to fight the robber instead of bidding. b:chuckle

    At the very least, they'd damn well better announce how much the high bidder bid. Suppose we'll se that tomorrow tho.

    It's just stupid, tbh.

    They are just BEGGING for fake bids at this point, and it does nothing to stop the bigger guild from knowing where they are being attacked.

    TBH I think the GMs are as surprised by this as we are - so I'm gonna wait till they get an "official response" till I form a real opinion.

    Well at least we know where NOT to bid this week, incase of fake bid ofc. I can't tell if anonymous bids are bad or good.

    Currently all guild leaders involved in a winning territory will receive their bid back like normal. This has not yet been issued so please remain patient. In regards to all other guilds they should have already received their funds back as the patch did not remove them just yet. Please check with your guild leader as he should have gotten the bid back. If you have any other issues please feel free to contact us anytime.

    Unless a GM forgot to switch accounts before posting . . . a level 101 named EgaeniI wouldn't really be fit to be telling us what the GMs are planning, nor fit to say why we should contact them.

    Of course, smaller factions can also fake bid now.

    For 500k (plus the cost of creating the factions, but you can often enough get a faction by letting someone recruit an alt and then logging out for a couple weeks) you can place bids on 5 territories.

    The GMs might even decide to do this themselves -- they announce that they will put 100k bids on all factions, to make up for the lack of silence, and everyone knows they must bid over 100k (100001 unless there is a minimum increment)...

    Regi could always promise to only send in 60 after all the other fights are finished so they and Nef could have their little fun. If that doesn't work send in 50 b:surrender

    And if you lose, you'd rather not gain land for the week than get another no-show right?

    They made Duke spam again, because that makes some people want to buy more, so others hear that they got Best Lucks... [or something like that]

    It's like, they made Duke to talk less, but still announce Best Lucks. And he doesn't announce the Snake Race, for example... =o_O=

    They need Duke to tell others a name. That's the point. Why to announce it if it wasn't that, in first place?

    Or that's, at least, what comes to my mind at this moment about that...
