This time around it is our intention to both simplify and standardize plot prices so that the cost of buying a plot is predictable to the average player.

We aren't prepared right now to share that formula with you, as it is still being tweaked a bit, but in general the price of all plots would be much lower than what it was with the last revamp. This means plots would be cheaper to purchase, which we think is a good thing.

The price of your plot would depend much more heavily on the size of the plot and the tier of nearby resources than on proximity to portals.

In addition, we are considering including guild plots in this repricing and wanted to get your feedback before we did so. As you know, right now when you purchase a guild plot, it costs a great deal "up front" to do so, but then the plots within the community are all just 1 silver. Were we to include guild sub-plots in this repriced structure, the cost of the plot would vary based on the size of the plot. All sub-lots in a community would be considered T1 for the purposes of repricing, so they still would remain inexpensive to purchase, just not the 1 silver which they currently are. Master plot prices would also change, but again, most would be lower than they are presently.

While we have our reasons for doing so, we'd like to get your thoughts and feedback on this proposal. As always, this is at this stage just a proposed project and no promises are being made or implied, and insert all the usual disclaimers about keeping the thread on topic.
