CURRENTLY :
Activity in the core will generate CORE money. ( Active hours, zones can be worth perhaps 16x more than off hours )
Owning ZONES will give FACTION money from the CORE.
FACTION gives YOU money.
Your payment is split between all your ACTIVE faction mates, swarms "technically" get less per person.
Your salary is effected by your reputation vs the average reputation of your faction.
ACTIVE PLAYERS = More than 10k rep.
These payment ticks occur around ever hours.
You will be paid and rep will decay even if offline so you can do a hard day of ZC go to sleep, wake up, get your paycheck, buy more equipment to hordePvP.
The offline rep decay is currently logged but not put into effect, when it is enabled you will get a huge drop in reputation.
This decay should not bring you below 10k rep.
Reputation system will be changed a bit more to accommodate the 10k baseline. Friendly fire penalties will be changed from automatic punishment to manual punishment controlled by the victims.
In the immediate next few patches:
When I finish the core caravans, factions will only earn money when their caravans, which spawn in the zone travel across the core, reach the gates safely.
CTF will probably become a multiplier to the faction income.
This payment will be the primary source of caps in the future.
Heavy tuning will be done, currently the system is in testing on the live server, please provide bug reports and feedback.
