Anyone read or heard anything about the REPS systems, could be R.E.P.S.?
He might also mean its now called Alerts System.

Maybe people who watch FNO have heard it mentioned there.

I checked the Roadmap and didnt see anything there about it, although I noticed there is nearly more on the Unscheduled List than the Scheduled List and its growing.

nm I found it, http://forums.station.sony.com/ps2/i...-system.82977/
I shouldnt have given up reading the roadmap...

R stands for Regional
E stands for Empire
P stands for Priority
S stands for System

Here is the item on the roadmap:

Just XP bonuses? Nothing else? That's... well that's pretty shallow, even for PS2 standards.

Yes, thanks.
Cant see how it will help Briggs in any way at all unless there are 3x XP bonuses on Amerish.
(its taken the double XP to draw some back to the game this weekend)
And who's going to be brave enough to leave Indar to the other two factions.
We don't really have a merge option that most of the other servers have, we have to make do with populations that fill one continent and thats it.
So we're keen to see what how this will improve our server.

Yeah, I certainly don't see it helping all that much, if at all.

Hope it ties in with the mission system. Between the two zerg herding should be possible cross continents.

come on now, it has worked perfectly fine to even out the faction balance on continents! Everytime I see Amerish at 4% VS Pop I always want to rush right over and gain that extra 17 xp!
