It is very apparent there is a bad habit of not reading all of a post, through out a major percentage of the forums.

Its an undocumented feature thats blocking your dropping.  But I remember when it was implemented.  There is a max amount of land you can drop per unit time.  What the limit is and how much time I dont remember.  But its there.  And it is a feature

Its not a bug, its a feature.

Is a perfect way of saying it.
Land is essential for growth in the game. If the people at the top have it locked up, removing all the land below them can only be seen as idiotic. The only good it possibly does is prevent them from getting more land easily, but you have to take the bad with the good. To stop their gaining land, you also stunt the growth of the rest of the game. Meanwhile, the top players still have land and are using it to get bigger, more out of reach.

If noone agrees with you, there's probably a good reason for it. I've skimmed the topic and I havnt seen any other proponent for such an abuse of dropping land. You forced the rest of the game to follow your strategy whether they wanted to or not by taking it upon yourself to drop land.

Land is on a return, I have been farmed for 11,480 acres with out a single retal, when game resets I will have never attacked with this strat
I am only producing land for those who wish to take it, but @ a cost mind you nothing is free. hehe

The only reason its spread out is because; no one is sweeping it up for to be taken away and lock up with in a mages clutches. :lol:


All melancholy and schit, no boat rocking going on, too bad so sad it could be war if we had some energy.

I dare not accuse it of lethargy again

Well I mean, it does reset. It just goes very long in between, and I'm assuming only resets when there is a major problem.

But saying it never resets is still pretty valid, I'm just splitting hairs.

Wait, are you mad now that land is starting to flow again? It took lots of effort by me and my clan to free it up, well not really, was pretty simple, but time consuming.

What is this constant reference to WOA, I am and have always been referring to BFR.
I gave up on WOA when, I could no longer drop land and reverted my intentions to BFR

My post in Bugs is about WOA

MAD?
Are you referring to me?
I am not Mad.!

Although I decided that given enough rope, thou whilst hang thine own!

In BFR.....
You have noticed that land is on a slow rise, have you not?
I doubt it’s a product of war but more a factor of Scouting it up and letting it go.

From what I gather it's an unstated feature as opposed to a bug. Really lame still though.

The only prob about it being an unducomented feature
Devari
the code's the same for both servers, so the change has to affect both servers.
Either I'm reading too much into that statement or the servers are hard coded with specific shared components. Which is something I had experienced with the old FaF code, when it was all squirrels and mice. So what your telling me is, the anti land drop code is independent to each server and not a shared component. I will have to investigate this further, time to download the code again.

‘Dommit’ I am running out of hard drive space, I need another terabyte…:(

I said the code is the same; i.e. it's shared. :P
