Adding the "exploding stuff" tech was one of those "the team had some extra time to fill and picked a feature they thought would be cool" opportunities. First time I saw it I about fell out of my chair.
The Settlements themselves will continue to exist, as will the Companies in them. The vaults will continue to exist as will all the stuff in them.
What will happen is that people will have the opportunity to replace the prefab Settlement structure…
I can address the issue of why the game mechanic isn't identical to the tabletop game.
The tabletop game is licensed with the Open Gaming License. That license requires that Open Game Content - the copyrighted materials that are covered by the lic…

PFO is still supposed to be wiped at OE at the settlement level, isn't it ? People will only keep their XP.

We follow current industry standards and don't disclose subscriber or activity numbers.
I will say that I am not happy with the number of people who we have active in the game and that we have fewer people playing than I anticipated at this time.
I think that the FAQ and the quote the game are complete are mutually compatible.
The game isn't finished. It's complete. Complete is a word with a meaning in the context of MMOs (which are never finished). It means the game has the minimum neces…
Actually, one of the key takewawys is that a lot of tabletop players engage with the MMO. Only 23% reported that they never play the tabletop RPG.
43% play it monthly or more frequently.
Also, 85% rated "Delivered on Kickstarter Rewards" as Satis…
