The system is designed for factions with thousands of people playing, obviously this is not the case on Defiance.
So because of this we've made some changes to reduce the size of Factions and compress the battle in to a smaller area, which ultimately, we hope will create constant action, as the capturing of towns / defending will now be in a very small area, as opposed to being on other sides of the facet.
I like to call it - "Battle of Britain"
There is a compromise though, CoM and Minax will be removed as Factions, people in these factions will be automatically removed, sadly we cannot transfer your score.
The battle will between the True Brits and Shadowlords, who have teamed up with Lord Blackthorn to finally destroy Britain. (..that's the RP bit)
All 8 cities can still be captured as normal.
Additionally in Publish 107 we'll have the following changes, we've amended several changes we were going to put in 106 after careful thinking.
1. All bundle deeds will now be 2 years only instead of 1.5. We think this is a much fairer option for the 55 Euros needed to buy a bundle.
2.
3. Summoning Balls will now be 75k (75,000gp) to summon a pet instead of the original planned 200k (200,000gp) we decided this after receiving a lot of feedback, and feel that it would create as massive surge in grief'ing making the situation worse for people losing pets.
4. Control slots for dragons will remain 2 at this time while we review PvM/PvE balance further, and its impact to PvP.
5. Beetles are now 1 slot.
6. Faction Guards purchase price has been reduced by half, and also its daily cost.
7. Adjusted frequency of how often a faction commander can send messages to his/her faction.
8. Adjusted corruption grace period. [Not sigil corruption time]
9. Increased the amount of time you're allowed to return the sigil to your town after it's corrupted.
10. New mob - "The Giant Sea Monster" Drops a blood stone Statue Maker.
11. Several new low cost Donation Items.
"The Battle of Yew is over. I expect the Battle of Britain is about to begin..."

The TileSkip Detection (Speedhack detection) has been further modified so Seers can now observe and detect this, we've also modified the system after a lot of testing with new tools i.e. CheatEngine so these are detected easily by the system. As Seers will be able to observe the system you should see much faster results in these matters being dealt with.
Remember now it's an instant ban for anyone caught
Changed the info tile text back to black so it's easily readable again.
Buffed White Wyrm Virtual Armor to be a lot greater than a Dragon, WW remain 3 slots as originally intended. This makes the WW a more better pet than a Dragon as intended.
All permanent membership tickets in all donation bundles will be reduced to 2 Years.
Increased the Cursed Summoning Ball to 75,000 gp for summoning any pet.
Added a limit to Spear Paralyzing Blow, if you have 2 or more followers, i.e. a Dragon, WW, Evo, etc. Anything that requires having 2 or more slots, then you will no longer be able to use a spear to paralyze a player with it, this applies to all spears.
Evolution Melee Damage will be reduced slightly for Spiders and Chargers against players only.
Fixed several small bugs relating to placing Character Statues.
Fixed Faction Score Board formatting.

The command [servertime is now correct.
