U delaying the inevitable, just get it now and at least that way u will have a constant stream of LP. Cause trust me u gonna get to the "level" u want and wont be able to do much (assuming its LP related, but in fairness who plays this game to quest???)Quote:

Unfortunately not a way to queue op taxes, i think they designed this on purpose so that people who owns land are actually "active" , otherwise players would just pay taxes a year in advance and stop playing after a month, leaving the active players without land.Quote:

So i have got Patron so i can own land now and done the quest for my 8x8 farm, I just want to know if i should place it down straight away without a house ? or should I wait to get my house then place the farm near it ?
Place it. you will need to farm a bit before you can afford a house.
If you find space, place it. You can always move later (if you demolish you get the design back and can place it elsewhere).Quote:

Unlike other MMOs, you will be traveling in the lowbie zones extensively even as a lvl 50. The most profiting trade runs is in fact mostly between the pvp / high level zones all the way back to the low level zones. The location of your farm relative to this is somewhat irrelevant , just more convenient to be near a central "Hub" . I have however found, it's more convenient to have your farms all nicely together vs. having 1 at extremely popular spot.
Had my first run to Freedich Island. We were like 2 guilds in 2 boats, about 20-25 players all with trade packs. So we arrived on the beach and ran straight into like 50 enemies , who slaughtered us all and took all our trade packs .
So lessons learned : Always send a scout ahead . The island on our server is normally not "camped" , it's more a case of timing .
We then made a 2nd trip, but this time i stayed behind in stealth on the island , as a scout. I could see the patterns, usually a large group arrives to drop off their tradepacks, they will hand around to see if any enemies arrives, if not, they return to their continents. So if your timing is off and you arrive on the same time as an enemy faction, someone is going to get ganked.
Anyway, so i could just tell my guildmates to hang back until the enemy guild left and they could sail in without any opposition.
The catch with Freedich island is, there is no harbor , the traders are in the middle of the island, so you need to walk from the beach to the center , and that's where most of the crap hits the fans it seems.
I must say we had alot of fun doing some PvP on the beach, after we already lost our tradepacks and well nothing better to do than PvP while we are there.
I need to find a guild me thinks. This warra warra'ing around with one or two mates is not working.
Yea, i suggest you do. I joined a relatively casual guild, but with alot of active players , about 20-30 online every night . They do inter-continental trade runs every night, not so much for the cash, but for the hell of it.Quote:

Yeah i need to find something where i can contribute to a bigger goal. Maybe joining one of those focused guilds like you mentioned would make things a bit more meaningful.
