New Ward Classifications are out!

[SlackMage]

Personal Wards are getting reclassified to FC-only again even in the new servers where they aren't getting new wards.

Edit: Ignore this post, I'm a dummy.

Incorrect, not one single ward anywhere is getting converted from Free Companies only --> Private Buyers only.

On older worlds wards 7 to 9 are switching from FC's to FC's plus Private, the effective effect there being to allow access to private buyers the still unclaimed smalls.

Wards 10-20 are getting changed from Private Only to Private plus FC's.

Those wards are already full and just means when demolition kicks in any plots that free up in those zones will be available for both FC's and personal, not that many FC's will bother competing for them as they still largely have smalls open in the lower wards they can get. Over the long haul, those wards will start to evolve into a mix of FC's and personal plots.

Overall they are gradually adding access to the still unclaimed smalls in the lower wards to individuals, and even mediums and large plots if they demolish.

About as good a changes to the wards as one can expect at this stage.

Actually some are getting changed from FC to Private. On Dynamis and other new worlds like OCE and the new EU worlds, wards 10-12 are being changed from FC to Personal.

But SlackMage is incorrect in that some wards are being reclassified to FC only, NO wards are being changed from Personal to FC only.

Oh I thought wards 7-9 were personal before for some reason oops.
