I'm out.
This isn't what happened, I over-reacted. Sorry to the folks in this thread; that was immature.

Actually, I'd like just one iteration of the server where CONFLICT isn't shoe-horned in. What's wrong with 99 being a hub? What's wrong with capitalism being benign? I think repeating the same conflict-for-conflict-sake attitude of previous modules would be boring.
"Conflict-for-conflict-sake" is not somehow more boring than a goodly hub of merchants with peaceful guards who all help each-other out. As it is, Ticker Square lacks the real tools or reasons for anyone to have any sort of attitude toward anything other than to say "Cash is King" and honestly people don't even do that. I've my issues with the Peerage Ward too, but I will say that as someone who has exclusively played in Ticker Square, the latest dramas are absolutely almost entirely ignorable. I'm not saying that "what Ticker Square needs is the Reformed Order of the Spellguard" but having everyone sitting in a circle, holding hands and singing Kumbaya is dreadful.
Sanctuary at least had different groups (be they Red and Black, Society/Spellguard or Exile/Spellguard) who had competing dogmas and visions for the City that gave people reasons to bicker, squabble, and yes even PVP. There was a reason to play the "Game of Thrones" and to try to eek out influence over one-another. Ticker Square currently lacks any reason to do this at all, which creates a fairly stale environment that quickly grows old.
