Hi there guys...
just 2 suggestions i thought people might like Smiley
the first one eric is already aware of...i hope it can really be put into action!!

1: Camp out Card--------

sets up a camp ANYWHERE on the E3k map, where ever you activate the camp out card, you will return to that spot every reset for 7 days, regardless of your current position...
a bit like returning to your homestead, but just that your temporary camp is mobile...



2: Free settlement credit ------- this would be a purchase option

Free settlements in the outback 400 coords + and no one gets them?
why not sell them after cashout date where a lot of settlements are out for looters? Sell them for 2 cents each or something, e.g. minimum purchase 100 free settlements....

Then you wont have to wait 1 whole month to get back to 20/20 before you can start getting settlements. The free settlements would be picked at random

1)The survivor pack does the same thing.2)why sell settlements when you are cashing out?

sorry i obviously didnt make myself clear enough...

1) the survivor pack DOES NOT do the same thing.... it only allows you to stay on your current coords... the camp out card is designed so that once you activate it, no matter where you are on the map, you will return to that spot every reset, much like a temporary homestead for 7 days.

2) its not selling settlements when cashing out, its BUYING settlements. Im saying that eric can make some money from those free settlements which no one owns yet...and sell them at random pick... e.g. minimum purchase: 100 free settlements @ 2 cent per settlement or something like that

Hmmm, I like these ideas. Smiley

One thought - perhaps the campout card could become a new dimension of the survival pack. If you're a nonsubscriber, the survival pack functions as it already does. If you're a subscriber (and thus don't need survival packs as they are now), they function as camp-out cards. Make them work for only one reset. I know I'd use them!

On the second part Mini I don't believe folks will go for it because when folks cashout they don't want to put money back in the game maybe a few will but not all and also how will Eric make money when hes selling the settlements cause thats saying that oh we can buy settlements cheaper than buying moves.

hm...yes good suggestions... also good criticisms...
but SOME players may be willing to buy settlements regularly just to keep their number at a particular number.. also the price is just an example, it may be higher or lower..
