    I can see your point. Yet, I don't think the family system will be removed. I think Steven has doubled down on the family system and might even double down again.

    I personally like the family system, just not having to use it to use freeholds

    I disagree with Freeholds requiring level 50 incentivising "rushing".

    My reason being that Freeholds were going to be hard to get anyway. Steven said a few months ago that it'd be a monumental achievement to obtain one. You almost certainly wouldn't have the resources to obtain a Freehold prior to level 50 anyway.

    The level 50 requirement just makes it harder for people to make new accounts to claim freehold plots. If there was no level 50 requirement, people could just make a new account, transfer gold from their main, and instantly acquire a Freehold plot.

    This right here is why you want the level 50 cap. And as far as the concern of "people rushing to 50" goes, thats entirely up to the individual player to play that way. I have planned from day 1 that I found out about this game even before knowing about the concept of freeholds that I will rush my first character to 50 as fast as possible. Now I just have another reason to also rush how much gold I can make to acquire a freehold. You're welcome to play casually, you aren't being forced into the playstyle. And besides, if you have even 1 friend playing that also rushes, you and your in game family can funnel resources to them to get you all a freehold to use.

    Definitley needs to be tested in A2 i think mate, :), personally im not a huge fan of the family mechanic to use freeholds, as the way i understood it the family mechanic let you fast travel to your friends, now you are sorta locked into almost paying to join a family to use their artisan equiptment haha just my opinion though

    people have organized themselves into families for 20 years of mmorpg now. those are just perks that you get for doing what youve been doing for 20 years "unofficially"

    True however, in ashes there is a CD period for joining/leaving families, i think alot of people wanted to use the fast travel aspect of being in a family to be able to group with their friends and do some casual pvp or dungeons together, my guess is now families will be used just to use freeholds but who knlws we have to test it

    If freeholds deeds are being auctioned off doesn't that imply that there is already some sort of time limit before they are sold anyway?
