    don't do it it's suicide, losing all OP's is the worst thing ever.

    I did a switch from Sandy > Bastok > Sandy over a year ago, and I still haven't gotten Gustaberg or West Saruta back... worst loss ever when I switched

    when you go from sandy > bastok > back to sandy, you loose all of your op's when you switch back to sandy? Duh you loose them from sandy > bastok, but I thought it saved them all for when you switched back.

    I went: Bastok > Sandy > Windy > Bastok > Windy. I had all but 2 OPs in Windy the first time and when I went back to Windy, I had 0.

    Nope, you have to reacquire all outposts each and every time you switch nations. And considering how bad conquest has been since the launch of ToAU, it is not a good thing. >_>

    Just another timesink
    It's annoying, I'd love to do the windy and sandy missions but I'm just not willing to lose my OPs >_<

    it's more than a timesink, as a single character no amount of time invested can get you some of the OPs back.

    if they wiped CP it would be a time sink, you can simply XP and get it back. the OP limitation is a complete content block, people who want to do all the missions are deterred from doing so.

    Maybe we should make a few whinging threads on random ZAM! accounts and see if it'll get the ball rolling for a change?

    Someone from BG actually proposed the question to Sage Sundi before E3 this year. He said it was a good idea and he'd look into it.

    The one time I switched was from Sandy to Bastok was when Bastok took over Sarutaruba. I can't justify the other OP losses in this CPless era.
