Land can be and should be developed at the same time NPE and the rest of the parts of the game are. The goals are very clear for near term land development, get the rest of the natural resource plots working and the corresponding LP's. This does not interfere with NPE development if this proposal is passed. I don't think Matt would have let this proposal be submitted if it was going to, so let's not second guess him as he has proven himself at leadership so far and he has made it very clear how important NPE is. You can see they are making progress on that and are getting ready for a marketing push.
The way I read this is that we get one person dedicated to land and nobody touches him for other projects but he still falls under the guidance of the team leadership as to how and what parts of land are to be developed. That is exactly what I want.
Land resources can be awarded to new players in an achievement system in loot chests and they can sell those to land owners. If we get the natural resources plots going and corresponding LP's that burns a lot more DEC which makes the whole economy more appealing to new players.
If we get these natural plots up and running maybe we can introduce the salt system and DS crystals in the near future which also opens up possibilities for new players to acquire more land resources in ranked and sell them to land owners.
