    Are developers going to claim any lots during the real land rush? I would hope not.

    That would be funny. Fighting with DarkStarr over a lot.
    But I doubt it.

    There's already a lot taken in Britanny by a dev right now. :) That's why I asked. I know they need to test, but that might be someone's favorite spot and when the real land rush gets here on July 28th, I don't think there will be an abundance of patience for that.

    If they bought a pledge on a non-dev account and follow all the same rules and procedures as everyone else during the land rush, then I'm fine with it.

    Yes, me too. I wouldn't even know they were a dev if that were the case.

    That's roughly 10% of all the lots in Britanny.

    There may some users that may not even be taking land in NPC towns. I for one have no plans in taking any spots.. My plans are to take spots in 3 different POTS. ( One of them being my own Pot ).

    So I will not be even participating in the land rush, so more for you guys I guess :)

    It's time for a live look in during the current land rush...

    Here we have a highly sought after spot in Britanny. The lone City Waterlot.

    Although I have not even claimed my rewards yet and have no deeds, I'm trying to fake out the other contestants as if I care about this spot. So far we've enjoyed each others company for a few hours and presumably this spot will be taken by "someone" at 16:00 CDT, but it won't be me. It will probably be someone in single player online.

    A friendly battle could solve this. I am willing to take the scraps. ~fidgets~

    Violation got it in tier 10.

    Which is interesting because it costs between 701 and 1000 dollars more to be in tier 10 vs. tier 11 and there are no additional benefits. Just goes to show you that being in a higher tier is no joke.

    Halfway through tier 10, this is how Britanny looks.

    [​IMG]

    Just 9 lots selected. Prior to 10 there were 7 lots selected.

    Now with some 95+ players in tier 11 it should get interesting.

    Youre quite the reporter today Drocis.
    Thanks for documenting this.
    I too noticed the keeps were gone prior to group 10 for example, but that was to be expected.

    I was interested in the mechanics and trends, more so than getting a lot during testing. It's been an education. Too bad I couldn't see all the other big cities.

    @DarkStarr's account page shows a pledge account and a time slot just like every other account. They're adhering to the Lot Selection Sequence just like everyone else, and I have no problem with that.

    Really?

    Somehow I don't think that's actual money that Darkstarr put into the project so he could get a good spot. :) That's for testing, it's a mechanical thing. That's not real money.
