I would like to point out that Brodgar currently IS fully established and is VERY active with our core members.
I would also like to take this time to point out that there is truth to the postings of both ramones AND nooby...
Brodgar IS still going to be helping new players, but we are NOT going to be an open city and we will NOT be bringing new players into our village proper any longer.
We WILL be accepting locals into our vast network of authority and travel though, anybody is welcome to be near us as long as they are not hostile. Again, this hasn't been my decision and my decision alone. We have been inviting characters into our village slowly to weed out the ones who are not trustworthy. Although I would MUCH rather have a handful of trustworthy folks here with me than a hundred that make me wonder which 20+ of them are stealing from my friends.
I have made a personal compromise on security and generosity that will make it so the core membership of Brodgar can remain established and be safe, while still having our hand in generating community.
Please do not send me PM requests about joining our village proper, our village is not recruiting internal members. I will put up public spawn points and post them, places where random people can spawn and create a satellite, create their own area of a size of their choosing and receive the benefits of Brodgar's travel network and nearly 5 million authority if they so desire. I will assist each settlement with whatever I can and anybody who becomes a de facto member of the city will receive Trade Thread items that I produce at nearly equal qualities for bare minimum exchange rates, assistance from other villagers and etcetera. Will keep everybody informed as well as I can as time goes on.
