I understand a previous thread has been made sort of discussing this particular upcoming mod. However, I wanted to make a post of my own so that I could show that I acknowledge the mod's existence and possible future for this community.
First and foremost, I have said since day one that Infinity NA's server is not for me but primarily for the NA community. So of course I intensely value the opinions of every community member and believe it to be paramount to the positive progression of both the community and the server. With that being said, a decision and consensus needs to be developed by the community: will we stay on PW or will we move to PK, collectively or not?
Personally, I think the mod looks fantastic. Essentially it is a polished, upgraded version of PW that I could see as the next move for this community to participate on. However, I understand that in the past, PW mod variants have come out and eventually died off and potentially killed off that respective server that intended on switching to the released variant. Whether this is because proper effort into exposing or advertising wasn't done for the released mod variant or perhaps the mod variant (of PW) did not turn out to be what people intended or wanted it to be, I'm not sure and will not say for certain. I also cannot say for certain but I believe that the PK mod (Persistent Kingdoms) could possibly be a great exception to past mod failures.
So, as a whole, this community needs to discuss below if we are going to switch to the PK mod or not.
Also, the community needs to decide if it specifically wants Infinity itself to switch. As in, does the community want myself as SO, the admin team, and the name of the server "Infinity" to move to this mod, or does the community prefer a new SO, admin team (possibly) and server name to take place on the PK mod?
As said, the opinions of the everyone in the community are extremely important to me. To be the fair and just SO that I continually attempt and strive to be, I need to value everyone's opinion and respect the decision the community makes in terms of both Persistent Kingdoms and who the community wants to administer the PK mod for NA (if the community decides to switch).
Additionally, as told by William (who owns the PK steam page and I believe to be a developer of the mod)," It's our goal to move over the whole community to the new mod as it is simply a better PW without changing much to it. We already have confirmation from CRP (the rp server) that they will move over. I was also 85% sure that you guys will move over (directed at the NA community). Phoenix will move over. I also got messaged that a Turkish server will be set up."
Below I've included every Dev Blog thus far that can also be found on their steam page, thought it might be more helpful to get the links here for quicker traversing.
