    So would a taxed deed be upgradable to a tax free deed? Curious if there is a path there. Re-watching the livestream from last week. It gives the impression that's an option.

    It's not an option yet...

    There have been noises that it may be at some point in the future... but, as always, DLMB.

    Is this true? I thought tax free castle deeds and keep deeds were kickstarter only. @DarkStarr can someone clarify. I am sorry I am easily confused.

    They were exclusive to the pledges, but this change probably nullifies that.

    Hail King Robert, I understand it to be you can upgrade any Kickstarter deed to the next level of Kickstarter deed all the way up to castle. So my thought is there may be an issue eventually were there are more upgraded Kickstarter deeds at the castle, keep level (any level for that matter) than actually lots available.
    Pots will as always be were some go, and by the time we get to Episode 2 they will be placing more lot markers in new NPC towns as needed.

    This Lot Deed Upgrade will allow any lot deed to be upgraded but must stay in the same lane it is already in. For example, a Founder Tax Free Village Deed can be upgraded to a Founder Tax Free Town Deed all the way up to a Founder Tax Free Castle Deed. I pledged at a Duke level. I have a Founder TF Keep Deed and can now upgrade to a Founder TF Castle Deed for 2,200 COTO's in game.

    Now, I also have a Village Bundle I purchased right before the pledges expired. So I have a TF POT Village Deed that can only be used in a POT. I can upgrade that to a TF POT Town Deed and all the way up to a TF POT Castle Deed. Each step will cost me "x" amount of COTO's to upgrade. Now, my POT TF Deed CANNOT become a Founder TF Deed where I can place it anywhere. It must stay as a TF POT Deed only. There maybe a change in the future where you can upgrade it to a place anywhere deed, but it will become a Taxed Deed Lot. And for current Taxed Lot Deeds, they will remain Taxed and cannot become a TF Deed.

    I hope that help clears up any confusion for you.

    Personally, I feel they should allow PA tax free deeds upgrade up to only city size.

    Perhaps they can create a upgrade bundle for TF city deeds as part of Ep 2 package. Comes with EP2 access, a new title, special emote etc... for $XXX
    Limited to x numbers. This will keep the number of PA Keep and Castle deeds in check, and add more funds for the project.

    Based on numbers found from various posts.
    Oracle given tax deed can only be converted to trad-able at village level for 30 cotos.

    I don’t want speak for King Robert, but I believe his query was not about the mechanics of the new upgrades; it was about that certain levels of tax free deeds were marketed as only being available during the Kickstarter/royal founder/founder/benefactor pledges.

    Yeah, I was aware of that, but wanted to point out that at least the Kickstarter deeds are technically still reserved for Kickstarter deeds. However, since some of the original KS founders have left and sold their deeds, does it really matter at this point? I mean, I have seen my values have gone down in the past couple of years too. I understand where he is coming from, but this game has not turned out like we all thought it would and I don't see a mass or rush of new players coming to help fund this game. It is what it is. And I have not seen one person bring that up since it was made public.

    I probably shouldn't get into this but the whole point of deed upgrades is so that people who missed their opportunity to upgrade their pledge can at least upgrade their deed.

    I totally get they are doing everything possible to raise money, and perhaps you are right that no one cares anymore. It’s just another item promised that materially changed - remember, these deeds were marketed as limited time only when originally sold for huge pledge amounts. Do you think as many of those pledges would have been sold if folks knew down the road they could buy like this now?

    I didn’t tell Port to market them as limited time only offers back when gladly took pledge money - that was probably a mistake. But this compounds it by going back on yet another promise.

    Before splurging on coto purchases for an upgrade, you may also want to think about why Port is doing this now and is apparently disregarding and/or forgetting how those pledges were sold (hint: probably not a great sign).

    Please point me to where they made a promise about this.
