Poll On Stalls vs. Other Trade Methods

[Procne]

Ok, so there was some raiding in old HnH. It seemed like an all out war. In war nothing is sacred.

I can certainly see people like chief starting such war if only so that they have material for yet another fabulous thread. The greater the project, the more "famous" people, who ***** it up, become. Think of it as a challenge for them

It wasn't exactly a war, it was more like one very small group got bored and decided to backstab some of the members they used to play with and ruin the one good thing w6 had going for it. It's exactly as Procne said. Without things like Boston we'll be left with nothing but trust like in Haven and as you can imagine, putting so much trust the general population does not work well to attract casual players.

Some of these choices aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. Can't properly vote if I can't pick the proper options.

H&H was entirely trust-based because it only had shell defenses. But Salem's defense system should work on traitors as well.

If there's no gathering in Boston, how would removing Boston and trying to rely on players creating market areas help? Especially when no one ever wants to admit where they are at, and walks to these player markets would be very long.

I would be more for a mixed solution, mostly based on this thread. Boston stays as it is, but teleport is removed and the rent on the Boston stalls is lowered. Villages can build stands that are fueled by authority, but the mayor can set a rent and special permissions to use them (they may also be usable by strangers). The items available from the npc stalls can be bought also from the homestead, with an additional fee for "delivery" (maybe something like a mailbox could be necessary for this, though). This would be true for mail and silver retrieval from the bank as well, anyway. Villages could be able to build Hudson Bay Company offices. Doing so gives the builder a "proposal of contract" that can be given at an npc in Boston to settle the contract (npcs would then appear in a short while, thus giving the functionalities of post, npc stall and silver retrieval that are available in Boston, but just for villagers). Obviously the office costs authority for maintenance.

Before teleportation is ever removed, a much faster transport system needs to be in place, mounts, brooms, roads you can build for + movement speed imho.

teleportation is required in order for people to collect their store purchases. I doubt it will ever be removed.

simple hud collection option can be created when interacting with the cash shop.

Would totally remove the need to go to town.

Really the only purpose of the town right now is tutorial and cash shop/trading. If you get rid of the need to trade in town and the need to go to town to recieve your cash shop items, then the only remaining purpose of Boston is simply to leave it.
