We're strongly considering making the following two changes:
1) The "Allow other players to see you on leaderboards" preference option will be removed. All players will be visible on leaderboards.
2) The "Allow other players to see previous countries" preference option will be changed to "Allow other players to see your previous countries created before 2021". Existing configuration values will be preserved. Think of this as revealing ownership for all new countries for all players going forward. The most likely outcome is that country owners will be public for countries created as part of resets that start after the upcoming alliance server start time. The exact timing hasn't been determined and 2020/2021 isn't the true cutoff. The wording isn't precise because it would have been too lengthy.
Now is the time to speak up if you think that these changes are a bad idea.
