I'm curious, will there ever be significant changes in government as the game progresses? I can imagine pretty interesting scenarios, like an overthrow of the octarchy, splitting of the levels, anarchy, etc. don't think the octarchy would last indefinitely
-
Well, telling of the future is usually proven to be a hoax. Unless someone has a working crystal ball, you may just have to wait and find out. :)
-
I doubt anything as tremendous as the overthrow of octarchy will happen too soon. It's possible. Would most likely be easier to conquer gurgontid considering its guards are kran's like Malco Makkar.

as mentioned in another thread Yliakum is currently stuck in a kind of groundhog day in the year 750AY and will probably stay there until the full official 1.0 release

No! Everyone is going to be nice there! I just got settled in.. :P
-
Lol, gugrontid takeover.
-
I believe that happened on G.D* 2151, last year sometime.

true, but I asked about a potential change in government, not groundhog day. ???
-
so essentially asking to rewrite half of the setting and half of the quest? :)

It's very very very very (etc..) doubtful.

asdfsnsnhskwonnsn!!!! X-/
i think it's pretty easy to understand, even if English isn't your first language
in the FUTURE, will the government CHANGE?
/headdesk
-
Here is an easy to understand answer.
No.
-
whatever, i'll ask a dev later. i just think it's unrealistic (and boring) for the octarchy to rule forever. however i really doubt anyone's ever thought about this
-
That's actually why communism has such a bad rep. People got bored of it and were like "Hey, let's start democracy for the [poops] and giggles"
-
I am a dev and the answer to your question is in Groundhog day, how can the government change if it all resets everyday? So no there will not be government changes until the soon(tm) after the first release and no one mentioned forever except you.
-
Sarras, if you look at the posts carefully, you'll see the answer already, there's no need to ruin a perfectly good desk...
Right now there's more important things for the dev's to work on, remember, PS isn't even out in it's official release, it's an in progress game right now (and hopefully "technically" will be forever!)
Looky:

That's a lot of work to add onto the dev team's plate. Now that doesn't mean, after the official release, something might come up with some sort of event, eventually overthrowing the government and such, but for the time being, as well as the semi-distant FUTURE (:)), there won't be any changes with the government. (Thought I'd specify the future part, as that was your main frame of time, sorta speak, to your question).
There's still plenty of fun to be had though! (If you're that desperate for some kind of "alternate government", start a cult or something. :P)
(Thought I'd also post, though it'd be a huge event, I would expect, with a lot of work put into it, it would be fun to experience some sort of "hostile takeover" :))
-
The Octarchy itself will grow and change, but it will remain in charge as long as I am responsible for calling the shots on settings.
A switch to another form of government is not feasible for us to write.
As for autonomous zones, alternate organizations, new regions where the octarchs do not rule, etc, all that is possible provided people actually contribute rather than talking about how boring what we have is.

Now there's a great point if I see one. Citycontest round two: The Stone Labrynths!
Due date: fifteen years.

Just a reminder that there are consequences for your characters actions, attack an Ulber and you may get a trip to the DR, attack the Octarchy and you may get a trip to the Crystal so "if you can't do the time, don't do the crime".
-
my character, Sarras, isn't trying to overthrow the Octarchy btw. some people seem to think she is. ;D
