On January 19th, we hosted our second Fireside Chat. For those who couldn't make it, we've got you covered! We're excited to share a recap of the highlights and, drumroll, the release of the audio recording.
What's a Fireside Chat?
Our Fireside Chats are an opportunity for us to connect with you on a more personal level. Picture a cozy virtual gathering, where we discuss everything from recent updates to future plans. It's a chance for you to hear directly from the team and ask those burning questions you've been saving up.
Key Takeaways from January 19th
Premium - The perks you received were stated when you purchase premium.

- Access to the Account Warehouse.
Marketing - We'll be making an effort to market heavily in the days leading up to launch. This will include X, Game review sites, Facebook, Youtube etc.
Wars - There will be wars, however the function of wars will change, currently in its state, they do not offer the right amount of engagement that we would like to see. The way the rewards are received are also not good, its basically a farming simulator of buildings. To incentise PvP, a new moral system will need to be put in place as we will not being using the old one, it may be in the game before launch, or it may not be, but we know that this system needs to change. This is a Nation V Nation game and the fact that the moral system has you doing PvE, is just wrong. It should be a split between maybe 70% PvP, 30% PvE.
Voting - No, Cole and I will always have the final say, even if majority vote is in favour from the playerbase. Sometimes, we may think of other things after casting the poll, which leads to abandoning the idea altogether. These votes are meant to get a clear indication of the path that we are taking is right for the players, most times we will agree with the way the playerbase voted and pursue that idea. It’s more of a “We have hit a fork in the road, which path should we take”. That way we keep you all involved with our journey to an amazing game. Worth highlighting that the likelyhood of us completely ignoring a polls results are extremely unlikely
