    Yea all the PvP people that rushed to 50 is now eagerly twiddling their thumbs for that continent to open up.

    This is the "tips" they give on doing a trade-run to either Freedich island or the enemy continent, quite serious business and shows you how dangerous it is hehe:

    Safest way: get 20 friends and then another 20 allies to run there. Have a scout with stealth on the island. Have 3 ships, one lead, one right behind, and one 5 minutes behind that as a tail. All land at the same time and push towards the trader.

    We tend to do trade runs early weekend mornings. So during the week we build up our ingredients and then do a few runs the saturday and sunday mornings. Also if you are doing trade runs be sure to have stealth. Stay stealthed even when handing your goods in. I actually have one alt that I only use for trade runs since my main character does not have stealth.

    Yep, almost got my stealth, and i now know exactly where to land my ship to stealth-walk my trade-pack into the soliz port. The harbor was suppose to have a safe area around the traders, but doesn't looks like that is really working . The idea is to push players to PvP deeper in the sea as opposed to in the harbor. So, amusingly, if you are willing to land somewhere along the coast away from the harbor, and walk it in , it is most likely all clear because of this. I rarely spotted ships in the deep ocean, only near the harbors.

    And here's what my 'hood is looking like, i got a nice cozy spot on the far end right next to all the workstations (house with blue roof). This is what is nice about this particular server, as you can see most houses are still being built. This spot looks totally different on the original servers.

    Eish, i'm gonna hit my LP cap today. I really need to start burning some LP. I was thinking of farming some stone and turning it into hereafter stones to drop on the AH.

    Craft Tax Certificates? It's 200 LP a shot and very fast to craft.

    Also, do a mining run in one of the quarries, i burn through 2k LP in like 30 minutes easily, especially if your mining proficiency is high and you hit the "fortuna" nodes often . A Fortuna node = 20 LP a shot to mine and you need them to get silver/gold/gems etc.

    I'm not sure , not even sure you can sell them, but if you are owning any kind of property you need to pay tax every week with tax certificates , i'm considering putting up more houses just to grab property and the means i need to pay more and more taxes. So i'm actually making a point to spend 200pts to craft 5 certificates every day.

    In terms of money, it is probably more useful to do the mining runs, Raw Stone is a huge requirement to build right about anything in the game , and incidentally it's a "random drop" on Iron nodes. Once you got a good farming operating going with livestock, your LP will also drain like no tomorrow . To craf the food for the livestock and then clipping/harvesting them and re-feeding them can require alot of LP.

    Just to craft my -tiny- house, i needed 600 Raw Stone + 300 Logs . To convert 600 Raw Stone into 200 Bricks = 1000 LP right there , getting the 600 Raw stones is alot more LP .

    Last i checked 300 Raw Stone is about 35gold on the AH, 100 Stone Bricks (this is merely converted Raw Stone) is 40-45gold . So you score 5-10g just for having the LP to convert the Raw Stone....i already saw players selling services to convert the Raw Stones / Raw Items to Processed items at a price....

    ...so if i didn't know what to do with my LP, i would get 100 Stone Bricks and offer to trade it for 300 Raw Stone for say 10g and convert that 300 Raw Stone into 100 Stone Bricks and repeat (you can do this directly on the AH, buy the Raw Stone, sell the Bricks) ....money rolling in....

    That's actually faster than doing trade-runs, until you run out of LP that is...i think i'll definitely look into that myself if i sit with 5k LP.

    Very interesting Podcast with Trion and the future and what is coming as well as how much power Trion have and how much XLGames control all of this .

    Also the northern continent (Auroria) and when they are opening that. For those that don't know, there is the east/west continents and then a northern continent which is on the map but it's locked down at this point. Alot of lvl 50s are all waiting for this to open up, more land, more gear, more stuff.

    Okay, so you guys chatting about this game have gotten me interested - is it worth starting this game? It's got fairly bad reviews on Metacritic from gamers (not critics), so I'm apprehensive but you guys seem to enjoy it.
