Ever since the end of WWB, many have been curious about the future of the now broken PAPI. Aside from the usual talk of TEST and BRAVE being in anarchy, the other PAPI members have seemed pretty safe. Living far from the imperium and in fortified strongholds, Fraternity and Horde may feel relatively little impact from the recent events. With Horde’s new announcements, some of your questions will have been answered!
Gobbins recently announced that all entities on the list below will be considered neutrals, with exception of Fireco and Winterco. Regarding those coalitions specifically, Gobbins stated that although roaming in their space is ok, there will be no sov warfare perpetrated. Notably, TEST and BRAVE were not included on the list, as Gobbins stated that they needed a chance to settle in their new homes.

So what is the impact of this? Horde has always been dedicated to content, so a move like this is no surprise. What is surprising is how soon Horde undertook this reset and how broad it is. Most likely, the northern regions of Vale, Geminate and Drone Lands will now have the highest concentration of neutral alliances in the game. If Gobbins is hoping to create more content, then this move certainly should achieve that goal. For PvP-oriented members of both Horde and former PAPI, this may just be the content the game needs to be fun again and the reset could not happen at a better time. However, for small groups, the “friendly reset” may be concerning, as now they will risk losing space and assets if they continue to dwell in close proximity to Horde.
