IFN Recruiting In the light of our expansion of the settlements on Planet Arkadia, the IFN have made the decision to recruit more personal to be able to carry out the duty of protecting the civilians of Planet Arkadia. We cannot rely on the reinforcements that the IFN have sent from Earth any longer, we need to build up our own ranks to be able to carry out our duty. In the near future we will be setting up our recruitment office at Windy Isles. Expect to see us following up the next Version Update Remember to sign up for the newsletter on the following site http://planetarkadia.com/
It must be - it's the end of the year and I will have 10 days off work. I hope I have time to play more
What I'd like to know is how these factions are going to work. We're getting IFN now, there have been hints about Smugglers, will there be more? Archaeological Society? ACA? If you can only join one, can we ever change the faction? I think many people will join the IFN simply because it will be here while none of the others are. If we aren't allowed to change, they will be locked in. On the other hand, if a change is possible, it will be better to join the IFN at least until others show up. Personally, I think there should be a way to change the faction, but it shouldn't be too easy and/or not without some consequences (e.g. if you leave IFN they will label you a traitor and refuse to have any further dealings with you)
You will be able to join all, and then decide yourself where your allegiance lies. For example, you could be part of the IFN then do some smuggling activities on the side, or maybe you are hardcore into smuggler business and infiltrate the IFN. A soldier getting involved in archaeology still makes sense.
I don't know how jugglers, could fit in with the Smugglers, maybe the circus finances make them strugglers! Couldn't think of anything better.
are we brave enough to start calling Ned Kelly Smuggler ( Smelly Ked Juggler ) and as its comming in to Panto Season in the UK we could always shout when we see him HE's Behind You ! ! !!
This Again is an interesting question and depends although its a shame the whole smuggler soc backfired ;( that would have been kinda fun to get in the story line and also have as open member ships
Interesting news! Is this the start of the IFN repeatable missions where you skill up to get a higher title? So the IFN personnel salutes you and you get IFN uniforms/armor, which was mentioned in an interview? Or is this something completely different?
'It has been said, so it shall be done' Yes, as I promised in the interview - you'll begin with basic training to qualify for the IFN, then can start to rank up which will give you some privileges such as being welcomed to a firebase, saluted or accessing further content. It will take a further update or two to fine tune it all. We'll advise when it will be available, I think it's likely it will begin about a week after the coming update (we'll be testing it all after update and applying any final fine tuning with a patch the following week as it's too important and too complex to not triple check everything). 'and you get IFN uniforms/armor' - don't want any confusion, it's uniforms at this stage and not armour. Further details will be announced closer to release. Cheers Dave
