Hello Paxians,
In the upcoming content update, Verse 5, you will finally be able to build in Lyonesse, the PvP Province, under certain conditions. Stay tuned as we’ll soon have more details to share! In anticipation of this new feature, we’re working on quite a few changes to plot management.
Let’s have a look at the new ways you’ll soon be able to expand your gameplay experience and secure more plots.
Earn a Plot with Grace
We’ve heard your feedback loud and clear: you want to be able to earn a plot through gameplay, not only via Membership. With the next Patch that will be deployed in the coming days on Arcadia, the Public Test Shard, and before the end of November on all the live shards, we’re giving all players the ability to claim and maintain one plot using the in-game currency, Grace.
Here’s how it works:
Earn Grace through daily login rewards and Gold Offerings. We remind you that Grace is region-locked.
Spend 400 Grace to claim one Grace Plot, valid for one month.
You can have only one Grace Plot.
Auto-renewal is disabled for the ‘Grace Plot’.
However, you can spend 400 additional Grace to extend your Grace Plot if its remaining duration is less than one month.
You can also use a Token to extend its duration. In that case, once the first month of your plot (acquired with Grace) is over, it will become a standard plot.
If you don’t own a Grace plot, you can also extend the duration of an existing plot (claimed with a regular Plot Token) using Grace. This plot will then function as a Grace plot (no auto-renew, and you cannot claim another fresh Grace plot).
You can have ONE Grace Plot in each server region: one in the EU region, one in the US region, and one in the SEA region.
This new option is designed to give everyone a fair and sustainable way to secure land simply by playing, while allowing us to clean up unused plots, preventing the game worlds from filling up with abandoned plots, and ensuring there’s always space for new players.
The reason for not offering auto-renew with Grace is simply that, as an earned currency, many players also use Grace in gameplay (for Miracles, for example), and we have no guarantees of Grace being available when it’s time to renew a Plot. As such, it would be misleading to offer the option to auto-renew the plot. We’re thus offering you the option to extend the plot for up to two months in advance, which will make it easy to secure your plot as you play.
Notes:
To make it easy for everybody to try it out, all existing players will receive 300 Grace when we release this feature on the live shards. You need to have created at least one character to receive that grant.
Moving forward, all new players will also receive 100 Grace with their first login.
Upcoming: buying Plot Tokens
Additionally, we plan to introduce the ability to purchase Plot Tokens individually in the game shop in the near future, at a price of $/€4.99 per Token. Some bundle offers will also be available. We’ll share the full pricing details and the deployment date as soon as the feature is ready to release.
These offers are designed for players who prefer not to commit to a subscription, as well as those who want to expand their domain significantly to share it with friends, clan members, or allies.
Upcoming: transfer Plot ownership
Finally, we’re also developing a system that will allow players to transfer Plot ownership to another player. This feature won’t be part of Verse 5, but it’s planned to follow soon afterwards.
We’re excited about these new features and think that they will enhance your gameplay experience. As usual, we’re keen on hearing your feedback on the upcoming plans in the dedicated thread.
Pax vobiscum,
The Mainframe Team
