Housing Taxes - AGS is showing untrusting behavior

I don’t think its a new generation :). Back in the mid-late 90’s when online gaming became a thing, I was a college student. I probably spent 3 hours going to class and then 14 drinking and playing muds/mmos/haf life mods. Then I grew up. Decided I wanted to touch a boob, make money, and have nice things. Now I can game maybe 2 hours.

I imagine that student group is still the primary source of hardcores today.

One slight difference:

No Lifers can make money on Twitch. I blame Twitch for the ever-increasing toxicity of MMO’s.

Bleh. Twitch, Youtube, Twatter, Fakebook, Instasham, TikTok. All cancers. Every… single… one.

Dear Grief Developer, You’ve fixed property taxes so much that they’re even bigger than they used to be. And all the territory upgrades don’t count towards the tax rebate for the house, what are you talking about!? How long to?!

Most likely they are doing their best to kill the game. They all care about those who remained in it, the tax on houses should have remained the same as it was 350-570 gold. They killed New World!

and I think many will give up the game, because to pay 3-5k a week for 3 houses, there are no fools!
taxes are higher than they were before all the changes

and this is with 113 pumped territory !!! no matter how the update is so crap like, not a patch, so shoals that you don’t even want to play anymore! and at the same time, at the same time, the house is an 260 items, all 3-4 tiers, but in the top there is some kind of bum constantly with perdmets of the 1st tier. you can’t fix this!

This is really a psychological experiment. A team of psychologists hired AGS to create a game in which folks would voluntarily play. (They got funding from the National Science Foundation, to try to assess the societal effects of climate change.) They expect to produce numerous papers as a result of seeing the effects of all of these, and future, changes upon the players.

For reference, look up Realistic Conflict Theory in wikipedia. And for example, read about the Robbers Cave study.

Does anyone want to join me in a fire burning ceremony in Monarch’s Bluff? I have a lot of furniture to burn when I liquidate my house.

it’s hard to argue with you here, apparently they are betting on us when all the same we all go to other projects! legs They don’t care about this project as well as the community of the game from the big bell tower (((

They don’t have to bet on us.

We already bought the game. We could ALL leave… and AGS is in no different of a financial shape than if we didn’t.

This company isn’t about maintaining a player base. It’s about abusing a player base, burning a player base out, and then finding new players.

We need to know - did you touch a boob?

I’ve been thinking about adopting too but decided against it. Hope you still get to touch a boob, mate! They’re nice and soft.

Some of the “upgraded” ones are not!

Im not paying that. I will let all 3 of my houses go unpaid before I pay that. I don’t give a crap. I have the funds as I am about half way to gold cap. I earn enough daily to pay the weeks rent but I don’t play to pay some other toxic gamer any of my money while they sit on their butts abusing the game and the people playing it.

When I run out of the azoth that I stashed up and get tired of paying 1000+ azoth a day to get around then I’ll be done playing. This tax system has to go.

It’s intended. If you can’t afford it, then either don’t pay or move your house to a town that has lower taxes.
The companies that set high tax rates WILL suffer because the people will speak with their coin, and they WILL have to lower the taxes in their town if they want to continue funding it.
