Exactly that too. He was talking about the plots, and said that system is open to feedback right after. I’d interpret that as “what does the community think of the way the plots are working and what do you guys suggest we do with the plots going forward”

Ok here’s my opinion on the feedback.
Either he is open to feedback. Or he is not.
If he is not open to feedback he won’t look at our thoughts and discussion.
If he is open to feedback, he will look at them.
No need to debate both sovereign worlds and also to debate whether James is open to feedback IMO.
Shameless plug: go make a pixelart! All participants get 50k! Happy to help with mats or plots if needed

How about we debate, if we should debate James comment about feedback 
/s
We should have this forever, just one thread. It would be as big as “what turns you off of playing Boundless”

One can be open to feedback, read it all and yet not change anything tho.
I dunno, I interpreted it differently, but whatever.
I’m gonna leave the forums until it releases because I might otherwise do or say something I might regret…
I rather have a “is James mean?” thread!
Anyway.
/salute

@DKPuncherello, did you also have a poll for “equal number of existing account plots to use on private worlds” ?
@DKPuncherello could you please change the wording of both the question and the selectable options in the last poll as there is a very very big difference between buying and renting… and if I’m not mistaken buying a planet is not an option?
Conversations like this should not be kept to PMs, especially when there are so many hotly debated threads around the subject matter.
@james or @Kal-El please share this conversation so everyone has equal access to the same info.
If it’s not meant for public consumption (for whatever reason), then so be it.

I think it’s fine to look at it as “buying” and paying monthly to maintain it because nobody else is ever going to own that world.
Wow… I sure hope my tenants don’t feel that way…

Lol but if they leave you get new tenants in the same unit. It isn’t locked down then removed and replaced by a new one.

I just found out my last tenants did lol. I think its just going to be another thing that is used interchangably.

I cannot deny that fact, my analogy was rather flawed it seems. Lets stick with the wrong terminology in that case.
Maybe your tenants kept using the word owner rather than the word tenant to describe themselves until they had even themselves convinced this was the case.

I’ve been trying to think of a good analogy for the last three days… best one I thought of it it’s kind of like buying a boat then paying monthly for a dock and maintenance. If you stop paying, they can’t give the boat to someone else because you own it. They’ll just let it drift out to sea for nobody to enjoy.

haha, it is indeed a rather unique arrangement… But I think your “best fit analogy” is a little off on a few points or assumes a number of things that I have never seen stated anywhere.
Assumes that there will be a up front payment or a “deposit” followed by monthly payments until you own the boat. If you stop paying it will be siezed. If you continue to not pay for it for a period of time it will be repainted and sold again for the same price.
So lets just change yours to a second hand boat purchase with a 0% finance rate. Seems simpler to me.
I think you’re missing the bits of the Renting a home analogy I personally preferred. It’s a rental, Wonderstruck own it, if you do anything with this rental that is a breach of the contract you can be kicked out.
With a rental also… you are essentially going to have to spend a very very long time looking in order to get the “house of your dreams”. The more you can relax your parameters, the more likely you are to be satisfied with your new rental home.
You as a tenant have the same rights as any other person renting a home or living in state owned home has, the only advantage is that you as a tenant have the luxury of picking from the possible houses that are currently on the rental market, a state house you will be assigned to. I.e. Public worlds, vs Sovereign worlds.

v2: It’s like stealing a boat, then paying some shady guy with a dock to maintain it… then giving up on this analogy and getting back to work
