Well, I'll admit that thinking about it now, at least, I see a number of issues. For one thing, I see that it incentivizes villages to claim their land with both a vclaim and a pclaim just to get the notifications, which is certainly ugly. I can also see that there may be something, at least, to be said for stealth, though I'm less sure exactly what. I guess I'll have to think about it a little bit.Kaios wrote:Yes exactly, the arguments against XMPP tended to be along the lines of "Walls are too overpowered, raiding a base is hard enough without them getting notified" or something like that but I believe there was a fairly large majority in agreement that XMPP notifications were generally a nice thing to have despite these other factors.
That's certainly the ambition, at least. Time will have to tell how well we actually succeed with it. :)Kaios wrote:Oh and here's another question for you caused by something I came across earlier while I was looking over some of the XMPP related threads. If you can recall, do you still have the same intentions with character development as you did in 2011? Something about making the world more "magic" and moving in a direction that leads to less spreadsheets and numbers and more lore.
