There is a continuity problem here, it's not satisfying or rewarding for some of the players we love the most.Slowness_Incarnate wrote:The amount of work it took for my character to help and the elation that came forth when all three islands were finally able to hear one another..there are no words.

Three years of discussion, fairly sudden implementation and no consultation of the playerbase. Of course players are not going to receive this well. They feel a lack of control and involvement with something that will affect them. For these reasons, GAB should not feel surprised or annoyed that they do not have full support here.Greek wrote:I remember the initial discussion about removal of radios on GAB forums, which started about three years ago and was slowly going since then.

This is always a good point in any Cantr-related discussion. We like that viktor's suggestion would give us a reason to move around, to keep radios going. But the general thought is that too many characters are passive, it would be a chore, it would be would be worse than just accepting radios aren't a thing, or just accepting radios are a thing.sherman wrote:Problem being that people are so passive and this won't change it. It will just put more work on already active ones and not on a good way.

We're speculating. We can't really know exactly what will happen. I don't expect a sudden increase in newspawn thieves or murderers. We don't know if carrier pigeons will be implemented, how they will work, whether we will really use them.MattWithoos wrote:It will open up new opportunities and new things to do as someone else already said - travelling messengers for example.
What we are seeing here is that there is going to be a change. I think despite all the negative, we kind of like the idea of a shake-up. It is in my personal favour because I prefer not to use radio. If it is decided we will keep the changes, we will need to adapt as a playerbase and shape the game ingame. That's what cantrians do.
Any thoughts on which islands will be affected more by this? Fu with the distances between towns? Tiny Teregotha, isolated, or would radio nerf unite these towns? What could you do with this change?
