I can see leveling guilds for cosmetic addons. Flags for their guildhall, tabards for their members etc...SWTOR had a similar system. I'm against anything other than cosmetic.

@grofire Hate speech does not exist? You have got to be kidding. Racism is the epitome of speech with a root in hatred. A player should not have to endure that kind of language in the game. In fact, there is no place for it in the world either. It is a sad individual who has that much hatred in them.

I thought the same thing in the beginning until my son pointed out you can click the header to the forums lol.

@Gothix Sandbox doesn't mean no rules. It means open world with no linear path. You are allowed to go where you want and do what you want. UO is a sandbox and there are plenty of rules governing pvp and other player interactions. The game will crash and burn if there are not rules in place that control griefing.

I was playing Outlands free UO server which started off as fun. But then the pks and thieves started invading and the devs gave in to those same arguments; that the blues just needed to play better. Needless to say the pop of the server plummeted. I personally find players whose only course of gameplay is to hinder other players and laugh as a scourge.

I was just wondering if there is any possibility that city nodes might expand to the underworld? I always liked the idea of the UnderDark in D&D lol.

Hope it starts soon because it seems people are running out of things to talk about lol.

Sounds alot like UO only better. Why should the flags happen without witnesses? Simple, this is a game and not real life. There need to be controls put into place to control griefing.

Now there is someone researching the forums Nothing wrong with hashing out old topics with new eyes and ideas.

I sure hope not. Nothing worse than spending a few hours gathering food only to log back in and it's all gone. That used to happen in another game I played. Very frustrating to say the least. There is a level of realism that just doesn't translate over to a game world where you are not "living" 24/7.

I was wondering if I missed a trailer. Maybe post the link lol. One thing for sure the week of an email update we get alot of new player posts. Probably all that spamming on social media for forum points

@LonelyCookie Some of our community players gave Chronicles a try. I refused to play since it was definitely pay to win. I wondered how it faired.

In UO we would put out hunting lodges for the guild to use near good spawns. Here though that won't be an easily achieved option since an account can have only one house per planet.

So the basic idea I'm getting is live in a city lol.

@Specter Ah Ok I was confused when this was posted by Prometheus

There is no fixed number of slots, the amount of citizens a town can have depends on the number of personal land parcels you have placed in it. A 2x2 parcel raises the cap by 2 citizens, a 3x3 by 3, a 4x4 by 4.

Do we know the limits?

If there is no limit of players that can live in a city does this mean that the city limits expand as more players join opening up more placing options? Otherwise the city is limited by the city limits if they are finite. If the city limits expand by the amount of players that live in it does this mean that a city can effectively grow continuously?

When transforming from one type to another do you lose all characteristics of that type when you transfer? So saying you are a demon with certain skill/stat traits when you become transformed do you gain the new traits?

Hopefully the time a ruler is inactive to the point you can replace them isn't too long. I realize people need time to have off in the real world. It would also be nice to be able appoint a temporary leader in the case of someone having to go inactive for an extended period of time. If no one is in charge the time period shouldn't be more than a week or two from last login. Someone just deciding to quit or worse yet rage quit and then systematically trying to destroy everything before they leave can be a problem as well. Players dedicated to a city need some controls in place to stop a tyrant

Honestly from my experiences in SWG a city inhabited by one guild is hard to maintain. We had our own city and our guild went through a schism with it splitting into 2 groups. It left the city in shambles.

Likewise there needs to be an easy way to transition a city from the existing governor to a new one in case they quit the game. In fact, there needs to be login requirements for a governor. In SWG we lost several of our buildings because we had no one in charge to pay the taxes and allocate funds where they needed to be. It was a mess all because one person decided they didn't want to run the city any more.

We ended up with control later and got things back on track. We invited other guilds to join the city and before we finally quit we had 8 fairly large guilds in the city and it made us the largest on our planet.

I'm interested in hearing from players about city building, upkeep and management. What kinds of buildings and npcs are available to a city player manager? Details when you guys start doing this stuff

@Dordolio I'd say location is very important. From what I gather (no pun intended lol) the resources located near you are what might attract some players.
