Thread: I can't believe they did this to us!
Player Cities may not always advance to the next rank, even when the city population qualifies for the next rank. Many times, this may be due to the limits on the number of player cities allowable at each rank on each planet.
The new limits are as follows (The first number is the total cap. The second is how many can be rank 3 or above. The third is how many can grow to rank 4 or above.):
- Corellia: 20, 15, 10
- Dantooine: 50, 30, 20
- Lok: 50, 30, 20
- Naboo: 20, 15, 10
- Rori: 50, 30, 20
- Talus: 50, 30, 20
- Tatooine: 20, 15, 10
I'm not actually the Mayor of the city. Our guild was invited to this city to help them build the population. Thus, I havn't done much politician research since I'm not a politician.
I do appreciate the comments posted here. I usually do tremendous research before venturing on any endevors to ensure I know as much as I can to make the best decisions.
Again, thanks for the comments, they have been very helpful.

Oh man and what a race that was. I remember we had spent days working out the plans for placing the city hall, only to get foiled because our architecht could not log on
On Gorath, all three primary planets were at their cap within 15 minutes, so we ended up on Talus.

Our arch missed his shuttle back after training in Bestine (we're on Naboo). So he had to find another route to a shuttle that was "off time" and get back to Keren, so we could all gallop out 2km on newly trained mounts (courtesy of moi).
Was a very very tense time for us. We weren't first, but we weren't last either 
Remember how the servers were down for like 7 hours while they patched them that day? LOL the forums kept crashing because everyone was on them trying to figure out what was going on.
Hell yeah - fortunately that put it off so I could get home from work and log in asap when Starsider came up. Took me 4 tries before the game would load me in, and then we were off to the races!
The big 10 on every server keep getting accused of being no lifers who don't have jobs who managed to sit around on that day and get their city. I worked an 8 hr day and walked a mile to get home, and we got ours cuz we were ready. I'm glad the day delayed as long as it did or we might not have ours either.
I had logged out the night prior in front of the Bestine Capital, and our Architect logged out on top of the proposed city site with a pocket full of parts, and a structure factory close by, just in case.
I have pretty loose work hours, and live close to work. I got my Archi buddy on chat as soon as I got to my work place. Once he told me the servers were loading, I dashed home and sat down just in time to see the server switch to "on-line." I logged on and started frantically looking around for the political trainer. As luck would have it, I had spawned inside the trainer! That's why I could not find him right away. I lucked out on the shuttle, and was running the 3.5K from Mos Eisly to Mos Onarok in no time. Meanwhile, I had got the word from our archi that the hall was finished. We were going to MAKE IT!
Then disaster struck. I dropped my connection to SWG, and nothing could seem to get me logged in again. I still had our Archi on chat, so I gave him my log on data. He was able to log on, finish the run, and place the hall.
The next suprise came when we figured out that all the pre-possitioned house owners had to actually step into the houses to give birth to the city. We managed that in the next few moments, and had one of the first cities on the server. The cap on each of the planets was reached in 10-15 minutes.
