Patch monday - urgent.

[admin]

Urgent dispatch

Due to unforeseen political and financial upheaval in Europe; nations are abandoning the majority of ports in the Caribbean. Majority of local governments are planning to finish withdrawal by Monday. The overall view is that chartered companies and clans will take over the port control on their behalf.

There are some precautions a wise captain might take. 

If your assets or your business is located on 

• Martinique & Santa Lucie
• Saint Barthelemy
• St Croix island
• Jamaica and Pedro Cay
• Curacao willemstad and other ABC Islands
• Belize (only belize city)
• Inagua Great and Little
• West Cuba Coast (up to Cayo Romano)
• Vera Cruz Area
• Louisiana
• USA coast above Florida
• 9 Freetowns
  • Aves
  • Great Corn
  • El Rancho
  • Tumbado
  • Shroud Cay
  • La Tortue
  • La Mona
  • Dariena
  • Guayaguayare

Example - Having assets in matanzas on west cuba

• If your assets are in these above-mentioned ports are safe if you are a captain of the original nation of that region. (For example - West Cuba - and you are Spanish).
•  If you are a young american captain who had business in Matanzas (in west cuba) you will only be able to get access to your business as a smuggler in a trading ship. 

Access to other cities/areas is not safe and going to turn neutral (governments will abandon them). 
If you business or ships or other assets is located elsewhere (including not mentioned free towns). They are not safe because you might lose access to them due to fast conquer. Cities are abandoned by the governments and are free for the taking by clans and companies acting on behalf of their nation.
Please move resources if you are not sure your town will be defended by its original owners.  

This event will also affect prices for permits that might go down quite significantly. Please avoid purchasing permits or buying victory marks until monday. 

Rumors exist that local clerks will be accepting forged papers even from very suspicious sources.

Could you be a little more specific on "not safe"? They are being wiped or they are just possible to be captured by a foreign power? Will smuggling still work?

[victor]

I guess @admin forgot to include KPR island in the safe zones (in testbed it is safezone)

Nope they will be just neutral ports (anyone can enter them and building and warehouses that are already there safe), but if another faction conquers it .... well .... things may change since the clan that conquers the port can change the access from free to all to just their faction.

You had better make reference to the map of the zones that you can find here (but I'm not sure that kidd's island is pirate zone)

Does it affect all servers? also PVE?
 

I know, ther is not RvR, but we can not take missions in neutral ports. And our "clan-capital" with clanwarehouse (full upgraded) and all shipyards is stationed in Baracoa.

New patch - awesome!

2 days notice - not so much

Would have been better if patch would have been set for Mon the following week. In a mean time start talking to community to encourage people to comeback. Make Deadman's Even each day, more chests, last longer etc. Give people a week of double xp and pvp marks. Make ships insured. Anything like that which you can make with a hot fix. People will start coming back and work on shifting resources.

All my assets are in Mort. Are they gone now because I'm away from town this weekend and I can't reschedule?

I wasn't expecting this for weeks!  Thanks for the notice, might be a busy weekend hauling stuff.

[victor]

@admin have you taken into consideration the option to grant a new forged papers to players?

[Lady Victoria]

Can we have also the full patch detail...

How we will manage Port battle, which ship rank we should use ? What is the new map ressource location ?  Can you share the map ?

[William Livingston Alden]

this is the end my friend. I'll not move my stuff, thats crazy.

[Flag Captain Rendenbrandt]

You don't -HAVE- to, it's just a forewarning just in case you think that another nation might take interest in the location your things are currently at.

Your assets in Mortimer Town are safe. No need to do anything.

@admin

Above Florida means above Saint Marys?

Like on this Map:

 

[pompeyck]

@adminwhat is the process for capping back the port your based in , how long does it take, how long is the cool down, i dont think you can move a clan warehouse in 48 hours.

[fremen]

If the clan warehouse is not in the capital....all the content is lost after WIPE Map?

make hostility missions there to warm up the port till 100%, then make a port battle against IAs (if it's a neutral port) or against players (if some other faction has taken it)

It's "early access".  We expect wipes, realignments, earthquakes, etc. 

[Sea Fox]

I just need a little clarification please. I have a shipyard and assets on Hat Island. Is it staying a Freeport?
