Announcement Regarding Turfs

[Raeneth]

Sup players, this is coming straight from the Desk of your two RPG Mods. Yes, we have to share a desk due to budget cut-backs at KHI. It's a sad state of affairs, but I digress.

Turfs, as of today, are history. I know this will sadden some of you, perhaps shock you. If you need consoling we have hired a few therapists on standby. Why are Turfs gone? Why? Does that mean your Squad Bases are going away as well?

Please refrain from asking questions until the end. Turfs are gone, this is true. Why? They simply don't make sense in the story. "Story?" You'll ask yourself, "What Story?" If this is what you think, kindly gtfo. For those of you remaining, hear me out. Squads are a part of the Guild. This Guild exists only in Waltier, as it's founded at Olympus Coliseum. Therefore the Squads are only really in Waltier. Squads work under the Guild, fulfilling tasks and other things of this nature. They have no real jurisdiction to be handing out areas and considering them "controlled" by any Squad. Battling over turfs and fighting between Squads is not something that the Guild would want. They want Squads to work together towards a common cause. Though Squads are individuals to an extent, they still operate largely due to the Guild.

This being said, the Guild is large enough to accomodate bases for each Squad that proves themselves worthy of one, so they will be staying. The methods of obtaining them will not be changing, as we will still be holding events with the chance of winning a Base. Alternatively, you could buy a Base if you're so inclined. These things are not changing.

What will replace Turf Battles? There are quite a few ideas for fun and engaging events lined up that don't consist of Denver or myself sitting in an area for seven hours. This is not fun for anyone involved, aside from the 30 minutes of actually fighting. We want to be hosting Tournaments to get your PvP fix in. As for Squad Events, what you witnessed this weekend is exactly what we want to instill in Squads. Teamwork. Comradery. Communication. Developing friendships not only within your squad, but within all squads of the Inferno. Coming together as a community. That sort of mushy shit is what we live for. So that being said, expect events to start following in the same vein. We'll still be having you guys interacting with the world, but now we can inject a hefty amount of story driven events into the Inferno that will hopefully deepen the player's understanding of the world that we are creating. Denver and myself are both very excited about the possibilities, and hopefully you all are as well.

Squads are still going to compete with each other for top spot on the Primer, but more importantly will learn to work together and have fun while creating a wonderful Squad environment for your fellow members. Turfs are driving a wedge between us. So this wedge is being removed. They're too much work for such little gain, really. Also, we're lowering the Squad Member Cap temporarily to 10. We'll see how that goes. Those currently over 10 Members are going to be grandfathered into this rule.

That being said, please continue to go about your business, and we now open the floor for questions and comments. Thank you.

tl;dr summation: Turfs are going away. We have cool shit instead. You are keeping your bases. Carry on.

Explain your grievances, mortal. All will be considered.

Also, every Squad who paid me for OVER the 5 Additional Member spaces you are now allowed will be reimbursed. Thank you.

Holy Gigantic Signature Batman.

This is something you need not worry yourself with, BMW. Carry on.

It's like I said, I really don't have a problem with it, I'm just "Ehh" on the situation.
It doesn't really matter to me.
Hence, not excited.

Oh Hay Thar.

Mah mind's blown. Can I take one those therapists plz?
But honestly its kinda reliving for them to be gone, they were never that entertaining anyways. Can't wait to see the stuff you guys got jammed in your magic bag.
Knock our socks off guys <3

So.... Bases all be the same now, and everyone gets one, also, we still battle and stuff as always?

Not everyone gets one. All squads can purchase one with their points. And yea battles will still take place, as Rae said PvP squad battles will be in the future.

Turfs being gone do suck in a way. Would be nice to fight for turfs of other places. But nonetheless, I don't want to see everyone with a base really. I'd like it to be earned. As such.. hold a tournament. Winning Squad Gets Repute and Squad points, OR if they don't have a base. They can get one by winning it. Still give others a chance at getting something for winning it all ya know? I'm sure theres going to be many great events happening sooner or later. Speaking of events really, what will the next one be? A Mark event perhaps? Another Two of Clubs type deal? I think that wold be rather easy to set up and fun for people as well. Heck, maybe an increased essence drop on enemies for a weekend.

[Griever!]

a mark would be cool >_>.
