As the lord and supreme ruler of the Jamestown colony i have grown tired of allowing unfettered access to my city and the lands beyond it to every random fresh off the boat outsider that washes ashore. additionally i feel that a small tariff for the use of my immense tract of wilderness is reasonable when considering the richness of the land, mineral deposits, abundance of game and so on.

starting immediately i have begun fortifications on the capital of my colony, these fortifications will both help slow the invasion of cross server marauders and be the instrument for my tariff collection.


Jamestown has been encircled in a claim supported by a town bell and wall construction is underway.

YOU may acquire permanent trespassing access across this claim for the one time fee of 500 silver per character, this silver goes for upkeep of the great wall of Darwoth and to fill the war chest for use against future threats to the colony.

benefits to access:

1> free travel in and out of Jamestown and the valuable beach for foraging salt, seaweed, flint etc.

2> useful in pvp to escape attackers or corner an opponent that does not have access.

3> gate access (gates will be roughly every 100 tiles or so) for freely traveling to/from the Jamestown claim.

4> you will have shown your allegiance to the security of Jamestown and the ideals of lord Darwoth.


negatives to no access.

1> you either have to stay on the Jamestown claim, use a boat, or leave at minimum a trespassing scent on the great wall of Darwoth. this scent will then be used to track and kill you or destroy your house, possibly/probably both.

2> should you trespass on the great wall of Darwoth you will be criminally flagged and be unable to heal or port for some time, meaning you will no longer be able to escape trouble by teleporting nor heal up from your beaver fighting adventures.

3> you will have plenty of time to reflect on the guilt of not supporting the colony as you will have to spend twice as long walking to beach or river chokepoints and standing around waiting to be able to port. (also #2)

4> you will have proven yourself to be guilty of high treason.



those wishing to pay the one time fee of 500 silver and be granted access to the great wall of Darwoth along with my tract of land beyond may contact me via PM here or via hearth secret "rent" in game. those that do not, well.............

i am not trying to be original, i am trying to fortify my colony.

as an aside wrath had a claim that was about 30 squares long, this one encircles the entire claim from one coast to the other.

also see no reason why it would be "nuked" since folks can still get through river or beach points where you cant build if they choose to trespass, the wall will just create a handful of nice chokepoints around the town for slaughtering those that did not pay the 500 silver fee.

only cost me something like 15k (currently got 80k tucked back), it will return that and more once folks realize the claims are being upkept and 500 silver becomes chump change for a larger percentage of players that do not want to deal with the risk/annoyance of leaving a scent.

on the off chance that nobody wishes to pay the bargain price of 500s the cost of giving all pvp around jamestown a "home turf" advantage was well worth the investment.

I thought it would be cool, but I made an alt and explored jamestown and I realized how futile it was with all the waterways.
