My vote is for all LA's to be released at once... This will reduce lag by spreading people out and not concentrated around a few LA's.

Make the event happen on a Saturday so that people who work weekdays can get involved too.

Make a rule that when a Society wins one LA they can no longer win another LA.

Cheers, Nobleone

I agree!

Yeah, they said there will be major changes, but the only change I see so far from the (incomplete) information provided is you have to wait 1 minute to revive...

meter up in the air...

well I'd rather have the same old lagged up LG than non at all, and as for "big changes" I think we all know any big alterations to the LG process would negate

skills, equipment and possibly even involve lipgloss and boob jobs if at all possible lol

1. Any designated land grab area can be claimed by any functioning, non-pending, society. (Note that it takes seven days go get a society into a qualified state).

2. Any person within a society can claim a piece of land in the name of the whole society. The land is claimed by finding a 'claim stake' for a certain piece of land. Click on the stake and follow the instructions presented.

3. The land has to be successfully defended for four consecutive hours before the ownership of the land is turned over to the society.

4. Defence of the land is achieved in the following manner: At least one member of the society will have to be alive and present within a radius of 30 meters from the claim stake at all times from when the land is claimed until the full time period has elapsed. If all Society members have exited the radius, the stake will emit a warning signal (sound and light) for a limited period of time. This is a short grace period of app. 30 seconds, during which any living society member has to get inside the radius; else the claim for the land will be lost. This enables another society, or the same society for that matter, to take new ownership of the land claiming process.

5. Anyone killed within a certain range from the claim stake during the land grab will be out of commission for one minute before the revival process is initiated. The only way to speed this process is to be resurrected using MindForce.

6. A single society may only have one piece of land within a claiming process at a time.

This is in order to maintain the suspense and excitement.

2. A land area may be claimed by any functioning, non-pending, society. (Note that it takes seven days to get a society to a qualified state).

3. Any person within a society can claim a piece of land in the name of the whole society. The land is claimed by finding a "land marker" for a particular land area. Click on the land marker and follow the instructions presented.

4. The land has to be successfully defended for four consecutive hours before ownership of the land is turned over to the society.

5. After a six month period, ownership is transferred back to Marcus Callender, the MindArk estate broker.

6. Defence of the land is achieved in the following manner: At least one member of the society will have to be alive and present within a radius of 30 meters from the land marker at all times from when the land is claimed until the full four hours have elapsed. If all Society members have exited the radius area, the land marker will emit a warning signal (sound and light) for a period of 60 seconds. This is a grace period given, during which any living society member has to get back inside the radius before the claim for the land is lost, enabling another society, or the same society for that matter, to restart the land claiming process.

7. A single society may only claim one land area at a time. A single society may own an unlimited number of land areas.

8. Certain Revival Terminals will be disabled during the Land Grab.

The only thing new is the rule no.5 and the other rules they dropped.


They mention nothing about ownership period, if a society can claim more than one LA and if it will be a phased LG or not.
