Heya Peeps! I wanted to ask everyones opinion on mature areas. I am not an active war seeker, fighter and so on.. but after playing a few online games..the idea of an over 18 (mature) area is very attractive to me, yet it seems the only mature areas are places where you can die.. and even if you are minding your own business building or chatting with friends, you get shot out of nowhere by someone apparently bored and looking to start trouble. I see people leaving the nieghborhoods i like to visit because of this and it seems unfair that either we have to put up with the idiots that are trigger happy, or once the game opens up, the young and annoying. Am i missing something here? is there a mature area for non fighters? I mean, yes I know I moved into the area at my own risk, and if its not happening repeatedly, or happening after hours close (i tend to crash if i die after close) then fine shoot me shoot me shoot me even though i am defensless..dont even have a gun..if that is the challange you want..but if we are all adults..you would think we could all have respect for eachother and keep the fighting and killing to those who WANT to participate. heh K see you all in the world with no name

The land consumption in those areas is actually around 50-60%, but the problem is that there are LOTS of little squares taken, seemingly at random, preventing anyone from trying to coordinate any kind of neighborhood layout that makes any cohesive sense. I'm expecting that this will change within the month as the 28-day rule goes into effect for non-active accounts.

Tip: Use the find button to see if the person who owns one or two small squares is online. Many times they don't even know they still own it (if they still play) and would be happy to get their money back and not pay taxes on it once its brought to their attention.

Of course make preperations in case they decide the do want the spot after all, and they might try to over charge you .... its all part of the game though.

And of course the 28 day rulewill be nice once it starts having an effect.
