Please remove pcity tax system, currently it is ridiculous! for example How
about considerring those players who can't play 24/7 cos commitments to
goverment/work/school/wife etc

losing city, guards, chests, eqs Everything is absolutely too high price for
being away for year or two in worst case cause reason that you can't change ie
finnish army :p

another words for WHAT we need this tax system? there are thousand other
things to sink your cash, like reincs,eq repairs,reagents,CHEST repairs!

let the players who are on interval be peace, and pour the shit on active
players thank you!

The tax is there for two reasons:

- to filter out ghosttowns that have no active owners or
tenants. Those towns simply clutter up the map with no
benefit to anybody.

- to serve as a tiny barrier, so that every player doesn't
build their own pcities, but rather share the cities with
multiple players. That also lessens the amount of
cluttering on the outerworld map.

So if you're worried about the pcity going up in flames
while you are away, maybe you should make sure that someone
else bears the costs? Cities aren't supposed to be one-man
shows...
