For the “us vs. them” conspiracy theorists: Portal Seekers have less collective guild wealth generated from portal hubs than the top players possess in their /personal/ coffers right now. We have 12 million “extra” (read: “remaining after oort cost”) coin generated for a hub system that has been running since the 3rd day after early access began. If the guild of “just 40 people” decided to take a cut equally, we’d all get less than 300,000 coin right now for over four weeks of footfall generation. I can make that amount in my shop in 1 day using items I can farm with stone and copper tools, combined with a not-even-prime portal connection to the Portal Seekers Grovidias Te hub. I can’t even begin to tell you how not-worth-it a portal hub is to run for someone seeking a profit vs. someone who can gather or mine materials.
If you want to know the secret to the success of hub groups like PS, Ultima and Aqua, it’s dedication to the craft, and the selfless, cooperative effort of guild members and leadership. Specifically regarding the Portal Seekers: only the oort stone is bought with coin. Ever think about who crafts portal conduits? Signs? Refined stone? Brick? None of the materials are bought with guild coin, but if they were, I bet their hubs would be a bit more lavish, eh?
And giving away the entire guild budget is scary. We really don’t know what kind of new balances could be implemented in terms of cost, but our group of people is dedicated to hurdling the challenge. It’s like… our thing. We’re hosting a community event to give away our “free money,” too. Right here, if anyone fancies themselves the artist
