By the way, I agree that qzjul needs to play Primary, or at least one solo server.
And the new PCI buff is an attempt to get more players to play cashers (because almost all the landtraders on Alliance were farmers), and doesn't actually have any basis on game balancing.
--------------
There are many players here that don't play on Alliance, to give a little back story for these people, the primary reason for the upcoming changes is because the top 33 countries in Alliance last reset were all landtraders (80% of which were farmers), and the landtraders shattered all NW records. The top 10 non-trading countries averaged less than half the NW of the rank 1 landtrading country.
Note that Alliance server has the most amount of players out of all servers (count the number of ALIVE countries that left 100 turn protection at the end of a reset if you want to check this on eestats), so it makes sense to balance the game around the Alliance server. (Though, a bit heavy handed.)
