Welcome aboard!

What an awesome post!

We made some quick changes to the contention system. You can find the thread in the news forum: http://www.burningsea.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7383

I yearn for NORTH AMERICAN CRISPY BACON.

How's that?

The bacon here in AussieLand is more like what the American's term "Canadian Bacon", which isn't Canadian.

In case y'all haven't seen numerous Devs mentioning it on the forums and in IRC Dev Chats and Dev Logs, the UI is going to be tweaked up a bit.

The current port contention rates don’t match our design goals. Right now, there’s an imbalance between the amount of PvE needed to create contention relative to the PvP activity and the duration of the PvP zones. We want to make it easier to start and maintain PvP zones, and we’re going to tune the contention rates until we’re satisfied with the number of PvP opportunities in the game world.

This is something that we want to address rapidly. In that light, we’re making two global contention changes during tonight's regular maintenance window (1/30/08 1:30AM - 3:30AM PST). The first change is a major increase to unrest gains. This applies to all forms of unrest, such as Ad-Hocs and turn in missions. Second, we’re increasing the time between the port contention and the actual port battle from 24 hours to 48 hours.

These changes aren’t final, and you can expect more contention-related changes in the near future. Long-term, we’ll continue to make adjustments and monitor the situation as the servers mature.

You rang?

And yes, once I get back home to Seattle, I will be trying to make those Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies. I'll take pictures of me foist..er...giving them to the FLS staff in the office.
