There's one or two players, myself included who have traversed over to purgatory out of sheer curiosity. Warned that there will be no viable way to trade goods, the curiosity was too great. I have no problems with purgatory at all other than the weekly allocation of market turns pretty much go to waste. I don't want a planet, and I don't need a name change and I don't need any Merlins, so perhaps allow players in purgatory to at least make use of PPT, wiith the very least reason being that it'll allow the player to kill some time whilst generating enough turns to get back out. As I can't raid because there's no one here, it's almost as if I'm on holiday but I still have to call home to check if everything is alright. Not to mention the fact that I've lost out on at least 2 market turns for the week being able to do nothing with them.

Please don't perceive this as a complain, I accept the fact that I was the one who made the decision to go there in the first place. Perhaps I was without as much guile as I should have been.

My humblest of apologies to the moderator staff if this question has already been raised, I wasn't able to find it.

i like the idea, but i think it should be moved to suggestions...

Should be in suggestions...

Well anyway, I don't agree with the idea, perg is an area where you can go to lower your chances of getting attacked, and you have to accept the limitations of going there.

I understand that you want to kill time while turns clock up, but if you want PPT your gona have to stay in the main area.

I accept, and can appreciate your point Hells Angel, but you must consider that purgatory was designed with the intention to allow smaller players to have an equal battle feild for their foes. With that logic you would expect more and more players to go their, and of course, that would encompass the notion of more possible player v player wars, and quite possibly alliance wars, as the game expands.

Purgatory was also designed to prevent extortion, I've got to ask the question, if a player goes there to escape extortion then what good does the realm do his/her developement there on? Not very much as it's a very difficult place to get anything out of. There are few raid farms, because most raid farms are inactive and wouldn't move to purgatory of course. The list of possible naq targets, although growing slightly bigger isn't much, so overall all you are essentially doing in Purgatory is hiding, with the liability of being attacked when you're not looking. If you take into account that people are forced to lessen their potential resource yeild further by switching to critical they're not going to get very far at all. No further at least, then where they were before getting extorted in the main realm.

Anyone in the main realm can sit on PPT and make easy money, why can't those who have had hardship in the main realm do the same? Surely it is only fair?

Please bear in mind that I intend on going back to the normal reality, so I am in no way biased, just thinking ahead for other players who make use of purgatory.

(And as Purgatory is a recent update, this technically is in the correct section)

I havent been to purgatory, so i cant speak from experience - but from what i understand - if planets and name changes can be created there(and MPDSD?), then it would only make sense that PPT at least(if not lifer trades as well) be allowed.

However, honestly, with the way the ingame market programing works(from what i understand of it) - it may be to much truble to limit trades in certain areas. Because it would require forum to redo almost the entire ingame market for it to work(from what i understand of the programing, i may be wrong).

So i think it is a good idea - but I don't know if its going to happen for a good while.

In purgatory, the whole market is disabled. No trading is allowed - from what i understand. I havent been there, so someone else will have to support my statement.

I confirm.

im in pergatory atm to check it out, and i have thought he same thing. The 3 trades they do allow us to make are all the trades i dont need.

even if you wont let us have ppt at least let us buy lifers, i was under the understanding that this realm was to limit our growth by limiting turns, not limiting everything!

the only reason i would stay in here for longer than i had to was if ppt was available or at least lifers.

You can go on ppt there

There has to be a big downside to purgatory, otherwise everyone would go.

It's bad enough that it is already a psuedo realm where your less likely to be attacked.

I say no to allowing ppt in purgatory.

I'm curious though, can you goto purgatory while on ppt?

lol didn't curiosity kill the cat, this realm was made solely for those he cryed about extortion in the game. Now extortion being solved you want to cry some more how come this how come that. people are never happy, and it seems like it will never change.

No, in this instance as I have said to quite a few, purgatory infact did not kill the cat, it bored the sense out of him.

now you should be really bored not able to do anything but bank and the ocasional attack

Could at least this thread get some exposure to those that are capable of putting up a decent arguement for or against.
