I'll take one if'n you still have one. I'd talk dirty, but I'm far too prude for such prurient pastimes.

I am on Rebellion something. I've got no claim flag, apparently, so I am digging until I come out on the other side.

You have to craft your claim flag at the spire

Ended up running into Pennilenko on Serenity/Lowland right away. Him having a bunch of crafting stations already built was handy.

Now that you can craft portal shards it's doesn't matter how far you are from the spire. That's good. I had found my spot on Serenity first but by the time I sorted out that deposit nonsense it was taken. So I rebelled. I hope this thing about only being able to stuff enough deposit in the claim management thingy is only for this beta or they change that. Sometimes I go away and don't come back for way longer than five days. If this is the case, I'm probably completely out of there the first time my claim disappears, regardless of how much I like the game. I think that's a horrible policy.

I think a limit is a good idea, but 5 days is pretty damn low.

The upkeep bothers me A LOT. I am sure 5 days is an insane figure although it could be just for beta, to ensure people will keep active. But if it gets to release, and forces me to log in at least every five days FOREVER (or for as long as I want to keep my claim) I am gonna be super pissed. My house in SWG lasted from day 1 to the day they shut down the servers with very little intervention on my part and to kow it was there made me happy. I am not saying everyone should be allow to hold a piece of cool land indefinitely without ever logging in, but I should be able to pay upkeep in advance for at least, say, a month. Damn, what if I go on a work trip that lasts more than five days? No, I am sure that value isn't final. It doesn't make any sense.

My little log cabin will look silly in the desert. Anyway, I'm sure they'll let you pay forward more than five days when the game is released. How much more will determine whether or not I continue. Luckily the upgrade for this was a gift or I'd be much more grumpy about it.

Thanks, Signe! I downloaded this morning and made HaemishM on Serenity. No idea where am I yet, but I'll be poking around with this at lunch.

Ended up running into Pennilenko on Serenity/Lowland right away. Him having a bunch of crafting stations already built was handy.
I actually was dinking around last night, but it was mostly just getting my bearings and testing it on my computer. Then this morning I started harvesting after reading some tutorials to know what to do. I actually logged into General chat to ask a question, and saw Pennilenko join general right after someone answered my question!!! I was actually on Rebellion first (and when I first saw Penn) but then moved over to Serenity. Glad I did, because Penn gave me a pickaxe way better than I had before. I'm in game as Laozee, and I still haven't claimed yet, but just created a couple of flags before logging out just now, and nearly have all the materials needed to craft a Stone forge.

I'm in as Tmon, just dropped a claim on rebellion and paid up for the next few days. But it looks like the actual location of your claim is not a big deal right now. Working on building my first hovel, which if all goes well I will upgrade some day to a shack.

Friends list works. There's an option to tele to friend but you might have to be on the same server. Travel is easier with the shards but there seems to be a pretty long cooling down time.

I'm just north and a bit west of the spawn in Rebellion Canal at the top of one of the peaks. I finally got the mats for a worktable and now am just messing around with odd decorations.

So I spent my lunch hour digging holes in the attempt to craft a better goddamn pick so I can build a claim flag. I'm currently on Serenity in the Levee area.
EDIT: And I see the sycophants on the forum already being twats about the initial claim flag being "no problem... if you have the founder's pick."

It is a bit of a pain in the ass, but I'm supposing they did it in this manner to keep the claims relatively uncluttered to give the founders first pick at claim spots. Keep in mind that you need a LOT of resources to build just about anything large scale, so there's going to be a fuckton of digging already. Might as well get a chunk of it out of the way.

Also note the founders pick is a piece of shit. You won't be using it long even if you have it. Also, what Bz said.
I forgot they wiped because I'm playing minecraft and really have little urge to log in and build on a postage stamp.
Also, I have keys.

I upgraded to an iron pick, and amazingly I got a decent legendary. Now I need to upgrade my axe, because after mining with the speed of that pick chopping trees is god slow.
Also, keep in mind you can have 3 claims now, so the postage stamp is not as much an issue.

3 claims to your name, but about 9 claims attached to each other and with shared permissions, so if anything it's like 9 postage stamps. Hard to call that a small area to build on.
