not sure i understand disease mechanics, but i don't like one bit, i must ask why when i port to providence there are so many characters in centre that are diseased, they stood there with little clothing which tells me something, is this an issue that going to be sorted? or can i expect to catch a disease when i port? or is it just because every time i port i stood in same place too long because of lagging?

You should wear a plague doctors mask or get the disease immunity buff before teleporting to a diseased-filled town.

Easy to solve. Make characters die after disease meter reaches the end. Too expensive to buy medicine for disease alts. ¦]

Altough nothing prevents from creating yet another alt..

You imply that there is some kind of problem that players must be wary of disease when coming to town.

The problem is the cost of the mask to newer players and them being forced to interact with providance alot before the mask becomes viable.

Unsure how the imminuity buff is got, but i can just imagian it not being easily accessable to new players as well.

Or are you making another suggestion?

Possibly new players should spend $$$ for silver for a mask?
Maybe during these times offer the mask in the hat box?
Sell it as a cash shop item directly?

Collect sillver from the bank to buy mask at own risk. As you may become infected befor you buy the mask

Well to be fair the tutorial changes are going to limit the saturation of alts in providence. So this is something we get to 'deal with' until then.

Also, witches can still kill them.

Please redirect me if this is the wrong thread for it.

I had a cave-in. now the stampmill is at the same space like the newly formed "earth" I cannot remove all of this earth. I cannot reach it because of the stampmill is in the way.
Is this on purpos or will this be fixed? The mill still works but it looks not good. What should be happen in a situation when the cave-in buries a structure?

I thought that was only a raiding mechanic. So i can simply craft a greek fire and toss onto said unwanted building?

If you have arson. Otherwise if you own the plot the building is on you should be able to destroy it.
