in fact, as you have seen in other world, a lot/almost all older and some newer worlds have gotten half price nobles. that is just a lie. the mods made that up just to make this look more real on w14, and they payed off all the players in the other worlds to agree to say that it is so.
must be the best cover up, since "landing on the moon" aka "we have a spare dessert and way to much time on our hand, what should we do with it? ohh, let´s make a fake moonlanding"
