Thread: Recapping Caps
The people mouthing off at you are just being jerks. You're doing a WONDERFUL job. As for the devs - I know they mean well, but this is a nasty surprise. If we'd known about the caps a month ago, I wouldn't be angry.... hearing about this so late in the game throws all our plans into completel turmoil.
I'm not going up thepolitician tree, but I am concerened about the player cities.
Here is a link to what Thunder posted in the general disussion about it and why they didn't say anything about it.

I hope this really gets better for not only the politicians but for everyone
i post extremely rarely but felt i needed to on this. like most i have eagerly antcipated player cities. i am also disappointed with the caps. but i understand that hardware restrictions arise and it is good to know that they will be lifted eventually.
But for one single person to blame you is attrocious. you have been doing a superb job! i find your post to be well thought out. they are both informative and sometimes entertaining. you may not be the best coorespondent (not sure who would be though) but you are easily one of the best.
Keep up the fabulous work. and to all the nay sayers go jump off a bridge

By far lil lady, you have been the best forum correspondent Ive seen.....If y'all need HT to go and hang some of those from a tall oak tree let me know..LOL....keep up the great work.
Happy Trails.
Your doing a great job, Plinka.
I just wish we would have been told of this sooned, as they've known for awhile there would be DB issues.
Great job, Plinka! You're a superb correspondent.
One note. You said,"Because those caps will be raised, EVERONE, will have the opportunity to take part in a player city."
Well, even with a cap of 10, pretty much everyone would still have the opportunity to "take part in" a player city. A metropolis has almost 10k "squares" (8m x 8m), which translates to maybe 750 small houses. That's 7,500 active players for a main planet, which may well be most of the active player base.
But I think most active players want to do more than "take part in" a player city. I think they want their large guild or their coalition of smaller guilds to have a controlling interest in a player city. That's not going to happen with a cap of 10, and it is not clear it will happen with a "raised" cap.

Some of you have called into question my actions as a correspondent. I'm sorry you feel I've not been doing the job you think I should.
All BS - some people will complain about anything and everything. You're doing a great job Plinka, keep up the good work and don't let those few bitter complainers get you down.
Don't shoot the messenger

Plinka,
You have done an excellent job as correspondent. I have appreciated your informative and professional posts. I think part of the problem has come from TH's unfortunate wording of the explanation as shown in the quote below.
I couldnt be more clear. I didn't divert attention, I specifically said it was to prevent bad server lag - - which it is (explanation about caps below). You see, the information that was released was an accident on the part of the correspondent - - which ultimately is bound to happen. That's why Im here. To work with you guys and clear up problems...like this runaway snowball
(Relative sentence bolded by me.)
Hopefully, he will reword this.
Thank you for a clear explanation and all the other hard word you have done.
Yeah an accident by the correspondent who waited to get permission to post it? 
TH needs to retract that statement / apologize. And how does that help SOE's case anyway. THey wanted to keep this a secret from us until we tried to lay down a City Hall (after building one) and got a message stating "sorry too many cities on this planet already..."?
you are doing a good job sir but to think the dev team did not know this was going to happen or be a issue is well sorry to say navie they knew ,they chose do not say anything as has been a history with this group.
to hear that it is only "temp " is well not not cutting it sorry to say for months we been ask to have patience while we waited for content that should have been in game at release and was promised seveal times to each level in beta but put off and now we are told later down the road "soon ..well maybe soon" it will be added
sorry but after being mislead and in some opinions lied to ,I'll take what they say with little trust as I have lost all trust in what I read form any DEV fool me once shame on you ,fool me tiwce shame on me but i be XXX if you will fool me again
They knew but simply did not care period.

Like everybody else with any common sense, I know you're doing a great job. Keep on trucking, and shrug off the bozos.
