So final Land Rush week results. Not a lot of movement, but there was a surprising attempted move by Hammerfist Clan from M to A, which was unsuccessful as Agents of Erastil had it locked down by numbers alone. Lots of population increases among the guilds this last week.

10 weeks in the same spot - so no surprises for us. I guess Golgotha close to V did deter others - at least the ones ahead of us - or they felt they had better options.
Time to reach out to neighbours now that we finally know who they are. Might take a while as I'm traveling right now. But planning needs to begin in earnest.
Congratulations to everyone else who got a settlement.
Personally, I believe PFO's big challenge isn't going to be the waves of griefers/"hyper-competitive PvPers" that Bluddwolf often references. I believe the big challenge is gonna be not flopping.
That is why I have allowed Kabal to live. They may give thanks by offering the tribute of trying very hard not to step on Freevale as they walk by to steal Forgeholm's dirt. :)

So, I was totally wrong on where Kabal would go, now I have to make a new prediction.
EE will start Friday, September 26th, 3PM Pacific/6PM Eastern.
We have 3 more builds between now and then, although we still have...
- Threading
- Looting and Item Destruction
- Encumbrance
- Consumables
- Expendables
- Critical Hits
- Magic Items
- Enchanting
They actually do a hell of a lot more work than what you all see in the notes that they send out on Thursdays. Anyone in Alpha can tell you a dozen fixes in between builds.
It seems they already have the ground work for Encumbrance, Consumables, Expendables, Critical Hits, Magic Items, and Enchanting in place, just from seeing all the options in game, so its a matter of turning them on and balancing.
I think we will have another 6 weeks of major builds, and then about 2-2 1/2 weeks before the 26th they will turn on the Servers for extended periods of time releasing builds every couple of days.
This is my prediction.

I'll make my own prediction that Cheatle is half-right, and that Friday, September 26th will be the weekend when all EE players are invited to join the Alpha for a final week or two of full-load stress-testing.
