The new yard will become permanent fairly soon. We've got most of the core mechanics down and there's few things left to iron out. The holiday events really allow us to test new things and push it to the limit (the server mainly). We have much to do on the back end still, but we figure now is a good time for feedback and suggestions from the community.

To get you started:

• Originally we thought revivals should only be possible by gang members, but since gangs aren't yet publicly available, that doesn't work. So now the question is, are revivals done with a favor? Cash? Item? Mixture of all?
• Missions are already on the table, and fleshing out the asshole santa allowed us to iron out a lot of how those will work.
• Before you ask, Bootleg joe will make his return in the yard, likely as a variation of Santa (i.e. limited stock, moves around a lot, muggable if you dare)
• Should items like the fountain remain? Or should we stick to only rejuvenating yourself with items in your backpack or that you find on the ground?
• We considered having gang territories, but decided there are too many players to properly do it where players "take over" coordinates, but if folks have ideas or suggestions to put forward there, we'll hear them out.
• Non Playable characters are still being fleshed out. We'll have to work on how the logistics of battling someone not a player would work.

great, revivals should be with a Mixture of all. the fountain should leave, and about the gang territory only a certain amount of lvl's could have them like ex: 21-27..

Any chance to make moveing in yard faster?

It takes about 2 second to make every move here,not sure is that how it should be or my connection is problem

Would be very cool that yard was in flash like minigames too

Revive should be in cash+spending item from backpack(like health shake or other +HP items)...Dont think much people will spend favors for someone else

Co-Sings 1st comment.. Fountain should stay.. Either way ur still paying some kind of way weither its items in ur backpack or paying from the fountain to use it.. Gang territory would be unfair if it were limited to only 21-27.. It would be easy for'em to hog all the areas they wanted and keep everyone else out at lower levels.

yes i love the new yard thingy but moving around must be fast as catching santa was a hell lot of problem so will be bootleg joe which will make it more problems for dvd again

i know im only a little level 8 and all but i think the new yard is good for some, shit for others.... but if it is gonna be the new way, i think you should keep the fountain, revivals should be done.... in whatever way, the gang territories would be awesome if you could get it, battling non-players would be very interesting. thats my thoughts. hope it contributes in some way

Since we have to use energy and stamina to move around the yard the pay outs should be a little better

maybe there could be different territories for jersey gangs, putnam gangs and arizona gangs

Yessir... Co-signs

The new system likely won't be exactly like the North Pole. Each prison will have its own yard with all these features. I imagine that only on special occasions would we mix all you mofos up again.
