Here's a regular player perspective: every mechanic is a torture. Hunt 11 crickets for what, 40s? Every one of those crickets is a pain to hunt down. And you still need to eat while you hunt. Sell stuff without a safe trading option? Another surreal mechanic. Have to use a forum to be able to sell something remotely safely? Really?

So yeah, at 630, for a 25x piece of land, in a game where every minute feels like 1 hour of gameplay, it's a hell to ask for. I'll be playing other stuff until some good update comes about.



you should be able to kill an entire batch of crickets in less than a minute if you have a sword and stats higher than like, 10. i was killing bears at 25 stats on the first day of the server, made lots of money off of pelts while leveling my characters stats.

or you could spend two hours collecting 150 hay within the safety of the jamestown claim and sell it to me or one of the other buyers and have all the silver you need for your plot.

yes, the entire town center is for general production tools among other things and with the exception of a few ovens most of it is already in place. you can build your own on your plot or use those ones.

the 25x25 plot restrictions are just for now while we see how things pan out, i am fully aware some folks will eventually need more than that and we will cross that bridge when we get to it. but 90% of the playerbase has a small plot less than 25x25 (i used a plot about that big the majority of the time i have played) so i do not want to have areas of 50x50 cordoned off when most of that will be unused dead space as it just adds unneeded sprawl that becomes harder and harder to defend.



Very well. The Town center solves most of those problems then. And it's nice to hear there might be an option for expantion in the future.

Cheers,
Tijl

i am sorting through invites now and will have them out with instructions shortly, if you do not get an invite but have verified you are ready to claim a plot you can expect one in a few days after the initial invite wave is set up, fresh spawn settlers with no settling will be a while after that.

ok i have finalized the list of who will be getting invite instructions today, nice beginnings at 19 residents most of whom have been playing on jamestown for some time already. even if only half show up it is still a good start. if you are one of the 23 people who wanted to join the town but are not on this list it is because you have not verified to me that you have settling/silver and are ready to claim a plot, because i overlooked you (easy to do with the volume of PMs about the town, sorry), or because i need to speak with you further first. whatever the case is contact me to get it sorted.

the list:
(invites sent, removed names)


i will get the invites out within the next hour or so and idle off and on throughout the day while folks head to the area.
