Based on this change: Bring on the trade tables, like NOW. :D Awesome changes Jorb, lets see what the corner cases look like.
jorb: I don't want *your* money. You are rude and boring. Go away.
Sevenless: We already know real life has some pretty shitty game mechanics, it's why we're here instead.
Avu: The end is near it has finally come to pass: I agree with Lunarius...
Shubla: There are also other reasons to play this game than to maximize your stat gain.

Ok, Thank you.

Now with this, should we be looking for different forms of seige engines coming to the game soon?

To me the crucial need to keep the gates alway closed was kinda part of immersion into the game. It's cruel worl, we had to be careful to survive. On the other hand punishing people who are dumb enough to leave the gate open was also a mechanic which make this game unique.

Feel like we are approaching WoW now :(

Can't you ram the walls as usual? I'm assuming it only works if you actually cross the gate.

Let me just build a wall and leave the gate open. Nobody can raid me or do anything unless they arbitrarily bash down the wall using a palibasher or sitting at a ram for 24 hours

Yes.

OP really ought to emphasize the fact that the only thing this changes is that stealing master keys doesn't mean a base is yours for the razing anymore.

It's certainly something we want to work with, yes.

I can add that it becomes a lot easier to think about that matter when it is decoupled entirely from the question of peaceful interactions.
