Maybe the penalty should be to stay in Donkey Town until the arc ends.

And perhaps a few curses should be enough to send someone to DT.

I'm currently on a break myself. I started playing early 2019, and I've been on several breaks already.
A few weeks ago, when the Rift was temporarily on pause, my family was killed by griefers. It's not the first time it's happened, and not the worst time, but the randomness of it adds up, and eventually the desire to play other games just becomes greater.

Perhaps the end of the tech tree should be computers with Internet where we could play multiplayer pvp games and hold tournaments

Here's a wild idea, but if Jason really intends for skill not to be a factor, how about:

If you attack someone who has killed someone else the past ten minutes, then no change to current system.

However, if you attack someone who has not killed someone else the past ten minutes, then as you wound them, there is a 50% chance that you will get hurt as well.

That way, you would have to consider whether it is really worth it to attack. If you are truly saving your town from a griefer, perhaps you are willing to risk your own life for the cause. On the other hand, if you are the griefer, killing becomes a little pricier.

Also, I'd like a similar effect to apply to bears: If you wake a bear, there's a 50% chance it'll jump out of its cave onto your tile and attack you, even when you're on horseback.

Sigmen, in the video it looks as if signing the fence notice gives you a new piece of paper that can be placed on the next fence?

Oh wow!
Celebration!

What are the main features of the 2HOL update? What systems have been overhauled and why?

Come to think of it, the main problem with fences as a solution to griefers with war swords is that it makes for boring gameplay.

If we wall ourselves in to the degree that we don't even meet strangers, it does not make the game more interesting.

Well, supposedly this is the future. Perhaps there's already a satellite in orbit that hasn't been destroyed by whatever apocalypse that annihilated the Eve's world.

And aren't people already complaining that reaching the end of the tech tree happens too quickly? I'm sure there are some who would be up for the challenge.

But if it's too difficult, perhaps a new kind of mine could be an 'archaeological dig site' where we could salvage components from a pre-historic civilization. Maybe.

I don't know. I just want the ability to locate the missing vehicles

I guess you would have to live in walking or riding distance to the nearest town with an airstrip and a plane... With a distribution network for the oil, towns could slowly grow farther and farther away from the center.

There are some problems with fences though:

If you don't have gate access, you need to spend time finding the person who can give you access.

You need to check that the fence has not deteriorated, or trust that someone in your village is checking it. If it has deteriorated, more time needs to be spent on fixing it.

If the gate is left open, even for just a moment when someone passes through, uninvited people can enter. I think this is especially true if there are many people around the gate, most of whom are your family, and the invaders have the same sprites / look the same. Mousing over each person to see if they're family can be a hassle.

And, you need to check that relatives don't leave the gate open for whatever reason. Maybe they were just going out on a short trip, but they died or got distracted. Maybe they thought someone else would close the gate. Maybe they didn't think the gate was all that important. Maybe they're griefers.

I'm sure people enjoy very different things. Some are ready to embrace any situation and part of the fun is not knowing where you'll end up. Others who work on projects or fall in love with certain towns want to return there. I wouldn't be surprised if half of the player base wanted to keep the Rift while the other half wanted to see it gone.

However, it is possible in non-Rift games to return to old towns. It's just that the system actively tried to keep us from doing so. If you lived in one town in one life, it would bar you from being born in the same town in the next life. In the Rift, you could easily find your way back and continue on the old projects. So maybe the best of two worlds would be no Rift but where the player could choose to return to their previous town if they so wished.
