What is this new conquest log that you speak of? Where is that located at? That sounds like the conquest system in FFXI... Which I surely hope that they bring back... There's nothing like competing with the other city states for territorial gains, and perks.
As long as they don't keep the "Failure Punishment".
In FFXI, if Beastmen take control of an area, there's no teleports out of the area (which is a minor issue considering every area has a book that'll happily cast Repatriation for a peasly 50 tabs), but more importantly........no crystal drops at all.
That's a fairly big penalty, and there's just not enough people to keep the areas under nation control rather than beastman control.
Things like Conquest are good, until they add a punishment for people not doing it enough. Then, when the game inevitably starts wind down in popularity and participation, you're faced with empty areas, and hardships based on the fact there's not enough people doing it.
Kinda like WotG's Campaign. It is pretty much 100% impossible to ever see the Allied Ring, or at least it was before they allowed skillups in Campaign Battles, though I'm not sure if that actually had any effect upon how many people participate (or not) in Campaign.
