That said, plenty of "faction" still around for the people who enjoy that stuff. I for one plan on keeping the glory of Corrington alive 

So if I wanted to continue playing within the Oleon I don’t have to change. That is good to know

Is era III still happening? This would be interesting to know for potential players.

We still want very much to make it happen, but it's been hard to push through, though some progress has been made.  At this point setting up a date would be pointless.  I think we're looking at about 3-4 months of work, but only if we actually... work.

I'm not sure about everyone else, but as soon as Era 3 was put into motion, life got cranked up to 110% for me. Lol. I hope to get some time to at least get out the LEGO for some builds this winter.

Is there any chance you could dial back the complexity to make it easier to launch? We don't need complex rule sets and charts of who owns what. We just need an excuse to build.

One of the biggest reasons for the revamp is to design it so that it can basically run itself after the initial automation work, so launching before every piece is ready would kind of defeat the purpose.  The original game required a lot of maintenance that meant that much of its potential was unexplored because leadership was bogged down in the mechanics a lot, and we're hoping to smooth that out with Era III.  I think it's safe to say that we've done so much work on it already, and there are quite a few of us who really want it to happen, that it's sure to get done sooner or later, we just have all for different reasons been intensely busy with real life lately.

Kai, that sounds like a very good reason to move to Era III, more automation so that the game masters can run the game instead of bookkeeping our hoards of dubloons XD.
