I agree, if a slight $5, one time fee, is stopping someone from playing the PK server, then I really hope they have no home computer, or internet, and are playing at the local library... I mean really, $5, thats a cup of coffee, if you tip, now a days...

Ok, well let me start off by saying, in my opinion, harvesters and mixers do not explore much on a routine basis. They find resources they need, close to storage, mark them, and, in most cases, move between said resource and storage without paying much attention to the map. I know I do. It's the explorers looking around, and fighters tracking down a critter who wandered off spawn who wander looking at maps. And once a new, great resource is found near a storage, it's leaked to the harvers/mixers, who mark it, and continue as stated above. Even partial storages would just be a mark on a map, and a deposit site. I don't really think it would encourage map use, other then from point A to point B. (Now a pot/essence retrieval near less used spawns is another case, and may encourage map use, I'm just talking in regard to harv/mix) Now, one way to make people wander would be moving resources on certain maps, sometimes they could pair up for a time to be a great asset, sometimes not. And could fit in the role playing, Plants/mushrooms often grow in different areas, or even have resources be able to be overharvested and disappear, to come back after X time. Would be tougher to roleplay minerals, which is what most people harv/mix the most... Another option, once again on selected maps, would be a wandering storage. Remember when Raven moved toward the center of WS, and then there was a lot of people there due to the very close location to some flowers? Then Raven moved again, which everyone knew would happen, which was why people were sitting there harving while they could. Imagine if a storage on select C2 maps moved every game day, would be like a joker hunt, and if the new location was in a great spot, word would spread, people would come, day would end, storage moves, and the search begins again to see if it's in a good or bad spot... I know you said no programming additions, but if you want people to explore a map, you need to make what people are looking for to move, and sometimes reward them if they find it. Imagine a storage right next to a sulf cave for 6 hours, or iron, diamonds, or whatever... Just adding my two cents, and feel free to disagree...

I know Fury is a bagjumpin guild, I do a #guild_info on almost everyone when I'm making, and never drop what I don't mind to loose... But after leaving bags with no problem, idle harving chit chat, etc, my guard slipped a bit, and when me and a mate were swapping off, filling up a bag, he clicked right in there. He's quick... We were both right there... Nothing obscene, just like 600-700 fe, 60 fp, and some bars.. But just a word of warning, we were right next to each other, he was like 1/2 a screen away, and he got the bag... so just cuz a bagjumper is talkative, and half a screen away, don't let your guard down, don't drop what you don't want to loose... and don't make bags around a known bagjumper...

I can confirm said bug, happened to me just 15 minutes ago...

Somewhat Patriotic You scored 56% US Philosophy, 90% American Pride, 53% Involvement, and 100% Citizen Status! What a crock of a test, Somewhat Patriotic? Just because my answers do not line up with what the testers believe is the US Philosophy? Yes, I'm a republican, though an old, real old school republican... The type that believes in minimal government. I believe the government should have no role other then protecting the populace as a whole and providing infrastructure for the common good. Your homosexual, thats nice... Your catholic, way to go... You want to kill yourself, woot, go for it... You don't have a job, and don't want to look for one, good for you... But all of these examples should just be ignored by government, they are life style choices... I never understood government as a means to impose lifestyle choice on the population. And all the parties are guilty of it. The only thing I am ashamed of that by stating I am a republican in this day and age, will mark me as a christian conservative. Just like how two years ago, being a liberal ment you were anti-american, rather then just liberal. And a clear case in the government guiding lifestyle is the tax code. Just give me a flat tax, take out X percent from my check, regardless if I'm married, have kids, donate to government approved charities, or churches. If I am truly giving to a charity because I believe in what they are doing, I will continue regardless of tax benefits. If I believe in a religon, and the church requires funds to operate, I'll continue to contribute. Has anyone finsihed thier degree because they realized they could get a tax break on tuition? Anyway I have rambled on enough...

I will start making S2E's for people more apt then I, if they are used to donate bars... I know it's not much, but if we can get everyone to help out, will provide a service to all...
