Hi, I’m brand new to Boundless. I’m on Solum and I’m looking for a community to join so I can learn from other players. I haven’t met any players in game yet. May I join this community? Where/how can I find this community? I tried searching for Pixel Gate, but had no luck.

We are in the Solum area called Horti Wimpffenni
If you go into the debug info (by pressing the period key “.” I think 2 times until the small print comes up) we are at the location:
-1713, 102, -1256
NOTE: these coordinates only makes sense for debug mode.
Not sure if anyone is online right now (I’m at work), but please feel free to plop down a beacon anywhere nearby and we will be happy to answer any of your questions and show you around the game!
Awesome! Thanks so much!
So, the coordinates led me to Uptown - KrackenDown [Village]. I’m not sure I did this right… 
The whole village of KrackenDown is us! Feel free to put a beacon down (either off a road or somewhere aroudn the area and we will build a road to you). We mostly keep after 9-5 day-job hours (EDT)
Wow! It’s awesome! Thanks for this opportunity! I’m excited to make friends and learn the ropes of this game!
Hi all,
An update on the shops. I wanted to show you what players made so far !
Below you see the shop and who the owner is.
If you want to see the shops from the inside then please come over to the giant portal hub and check out the shops/prices.
Hope to see you soon !

I hate to say it but its the new best place for shops due to pro’s hub, there’s so much traffic. the place is booming.
Huge thanks SWProzee1 for this awesome hub allowing us all to create an amazing shopping district and a welcoming community for new players and old! As many have said over the last few days “HUB IS LIFE!”

Seconded, a lot of thanks from me to SWP, he’s been so helpful.
SWProzee1,
I was talking with the-mobius today and he showed me your new expansion to Therka Market, etc. The one with the wide wooden tunnel with shops on each side. (Near the tower with slide)…
He mentioned you all were giving shops away to starters and that I could have one right then and there… He said I should contact you here on the forums to get it…
How do we do this or set it up? Do I give you a beacon or do you just place one and give me rights??
My in game is: Xaldafax
thanks,

Moebius,

cool see ya ingame
If i would have known that this “update” would be that horrible and impossible to keep it running as a solo player, then I would not have made it.
As far as I can see now on the forums, solo players should not be able/capable to maintain a portal hub.
So hereby the announcements/statements from my side:
- No more shop plots will be given to players as the portal hub will close with this update
- Empty your shops before the portals run out of shards and close
- I am not capable to run this portal hub this way when it is impossible to get the oort stones it needs
- I will not refuel portals as I am taking a long break from the game
If I cannot maintain the portal hub on my own then I rather not have the hub at all. (I have seen the chaos when 6 people maintain a portal hub, I don’t want that so I started it solo)
I am really disappointed with this update.
It’s very sad to see you say this. You’ve been a great deal of my inspiration to start running portals.
Since the costs are increasing I’m very willing to cooperatively help fund/supply a larger hub should you change your mind. With the amount of new players joining Boundless I think we can make it work.

Sorry to hear that man.
Have a big thanks from me for all your support helping me get to grips with the game, and whilst I’ll lose out with the hub closing, it’s your hub and if you’re no longer having fun maintaining it, you shouldn’t.
Hopefully you’ll be back before all the beacons burn out!

Very sorry to hear this. But I do understand your frustration with how the changes will make it extremely time consuming if not impossible to keep all the portals open. I have appreciated the effort you made in creating and maintaining the hub. Thank you
It will be interesting to see the impact of your hub closing. I know I built up my main house near your portal on Solum. If there is no portal, then there will not be any foot traffic for the markets and really no reason for the entire place to exist. With so few players spread over such great distances, the portals allowed for communities to be close enough to interact with each other. Even though Krackendown is the third largest community on Solum, it might make more sense to tear down my place and relocate to be closer to Pixel Gate before the hubs close. If people become more “trapped” on their home planet due to a decrease in available ort stone, the largest communities may be the only ones that can maintain a thriving market and any kind of public access to portals.

If the portal hub closes, I would be willing to try starting our own portal hub in Krackendown.
