New way to play GG?

@Alandauron

That’s debatable depending who you talk to.

Well according to those who actually fight on and for GG it works fine; I can safely speak for most of our alliance of GMC+ACM+AAA. Also I know that the Russians are fans of OLP also.

@Alandauron

Was this confirmed, I only ever saw Rex state he wasn’t sure why it was removed on NA and was considering bringing it back.

There is only one person who removed OLP, and that was Rexxus as a direct result of all of the NA drama. Here is the proof: Temporary turn off Offline Protection (OP) on NA .

@Alandauron

Then don’t base on active PvP fields unless you are willing to commit the time to defend around the clock, simple. No point having 10 OLP bases still restricting huge swaths of land in a PvP planet because the turrets still attack. I can’t base in PvP because I plan to solo next season and do a full reset, I really don’t care, I will go down when I have the time and do the best I can. Maybe hire a faction for defense or some such, we’ll see how it goes, just curious honestly.

This entire point has been covered and refuted MULTIPLE times by multiple people over on the ‘case against removing OLP on EU thread’ so i’m not going to start debating it here. Also I appreciate that you weren’t around during 6.0 where there were basically 0 permanent PVP bases on pvp playfields; trust me as we flew around looking for 'em and couldn’t find anyone, apart from one brave trade base that went down in minutes. We have to cater to the fact that there are different levels of intensity when it comes to PVP, and we shouldn’t cater to the most extreme fringes of the PVP community. In fact by removing OLP you’d simply benefit the big factions more as they can be more organised and can plan some twilight-morning raids to attack their enemies; and suddenly in-game life then starts to intefere with real life. Hell, like you said they could even ally up with factions from different timezones, so all-in-all any removal of OLP is a massive force multiplier in favour of the biggies which frankly don’t need any buffs right now; nor do they necessarily need any nerfs either.

@Alandauron

I support OLP staying on EU, but don’t try to force that on NA because you think everything is hunky doree

No idea where you think i want it back on NA? I don’t care about what happens on NA as i’m EU. But I had to get involved once Rexx suggested that OLP might not be returning for NA OR EU come 8.0. Alas i can’t find the quote but i’ll keep looking, luckily Rexx recently said this instead:

@RexXxuS

The next full wipe at 16th march and until alpha 8 will be released will be another test run for OP I think.

Therefore OLP is coming back to NA. So folks are gonna have to prepare; and instead of disabling it this time Rexxus is gonna:

@RexXxuS

But rule breaker should be banned next time I think… that was the problem I didn’t do it.

So in otherwords any silly folks abusing OLP on NA or EU will get their backsides handed to them; and rightly so. At the end of the day all of the drama about removing it could have been saved if the rule-breakers were instead punished harshly; which is what Rexxus has promised to do in the future.
