Advanced notice of a few major changes to the way the game is structured that are planned for the near future..
The first will be a trial switchover to an 'active employment' system - whereby workers will no longer be attached passively to a particular building, and will instead need to actively work buildings to collect wages - More details on this will follow closer to the time, .
Within the next few weeks I'll be removing the separate purchase of the Residence Permit and bundling that in with an initial purchase price for the game. In the near term, those of you who have got the game for free will still be allowed in, and the building restrictions for free players will be relaxed slightly. Those who have already purchased a Permit will gain extra benefits.
Thirdly, players who acquired government buildings during the startup phase will be served with 'Compulsory Purchase Orders', requiring the return of the building to government hands.
And finally, we'll be adding in some new rules regarding the manipulation of the economy through the creation of 'fake' player accounts. Please note that this is considered cheating and anyone found to be cheating in this way will risk removal from the main world and may be denied access to new worlds in the future..
