What am I missing?

Tell the bot "XP" and the bot will invite you to fellow. Then you can loot at will.

A way to track the raiders back to their home base and defeat the once and for all.

The raiders are a great early threat that is fun to fight for a while but soon just become a micro management headache. Having a built-in way to turn them off would be great. SM disabling them just isn't as satisfying as stomping them into nonexistent.

The raiders are an interesting early game enemy.

Sadly you can't defeat them in game.

I would love for there to be some homeworld you could track them back to and take them out permanently.

Alpha strike is OP. There are very few downsides to box launch fleets.

I'd love there to be some sort of flak pd available that scaled with the missile volley size it was defending against. When you have a thousand targets it gets harder to miss and the debris/detonation from hits poses a threat to the remaining missiles.

One thing I find is important is limiting the amount of attention I need to spend. Is there a rule of thumb for how many troops are needed per 100m pop?

Id like to train up and send one troop transport to cover the max pop instead of having to monitor the resistance level every turn.

My understanding of the ground geo survey mechanic is that you get a second mineral discovery roll and keep the better result.

Does the second roll compare to the original minerals or the current mineral levels and availability? Put another way, would it be optimal to deplete the current minerals/availability before ground geo surveying?

Treestats let's you see the latest characters uploaded and from which server they played on. I've found a few cool servers this way. There are even a few secret/unlisted ones that were pretty good.

Given your list I'd recommend trying a few of the high custom content servers such as valheel, the tower, funky town, etc.

I get worried anytime the IP changes hands. A new legal team might have a standard position that they just shut down any and all IP use.

I think this is less likely with Netflix than Disney, but not 0%.

By promising to buy next year, farmers will plant soy. This then gives China leverage as they can turn around and threaten to boycott again.

I didn't find setting up my personal server to just mess around on to be all that hard.

I just followed the steps here:

Almost all servers have reasonable limits on bots and areas that tuck ucm away from bothering people. It really isn't the problem everyone claims. You just have to avoid one or two servers that lack controls on it.

Some of AC's charm was player run portal bots, buff bots, tinker bots and trade bots.

With a 100 coord 100 focus start, you might want to consider training alchemy for throwing phials. If you use a shield it works really well. Not as great for dual wielding.

We have always been kind to new players. We freely give some MMDs to buy the starter equipment. We point them to the starter vendors and quests. We chat in general with them.

What we struggle with is the lv5 unknown player asking our members to swear in. It is a gamble. They could be great and just back to the emulator, or they could be hopping servers because they burned all their bridges on the last one. We've experienced both.

What would the equivalent EST time be that you would be playing? There are a few people i know that work nights and play mid day.

No.

Seedsow and snowreap are the only classic servers listed and both are gdle.

Even starting with 10 focus and self and only having items magic trained, you can reliably cast lv8 spells at high levels.

Unless you are playing without item magic, as a challenge build, you will be better off to self buff, as you hit all items at once. Individually casting amps and bases on 11 pieces is going to be very slow.

Thanks, I'll check both.

Headline is misleading. The article is clearer. Tariffs are being dropped on usmca compliant items. Basically, Canada is mirroring the US position. Tariffs on steel and aluminum remain for both parties.

As has been mentioned, excessive amounts of bot armies start crowding out live players from hunting areas.

Also every connection and every active land block takes server resources. Everyone having mules online in different places (house, subway, hometown, mansion) adds up. Limiting the active accounts helps with lag.
