Ah, I see where you're all coming from. I got a PM here on the forum, someone's willing to hire me. I guess I'll see where this leads. But I do understand your caution.
I'm sorry to hear that, Darwoth. Maybe I can eventually build up my status again by buying some stuff from you? That should satiate your need for good ole' fashioned patriotism (capitalism?).

Cept no one is going to waste time doing that. If you are at a point where you are paying someone to cut down trees then you have the walls and braziers to stop a raid.
To be honest, I don't know if you're supporting me or not, Dallane lol. You bring up a good point though. Everyone should have a proper defense up and running by the time they have the funds to pay for a deforester such as myself. Honestly, I expected business from the larger settlements, who are looking to expand. But if no one trusts me, that's okay, too. But wouldn't it be nice to bring up new "jobs" into the game? I believe TotallyMeow said in one of the "Ideas" posts that things like this would probably not be implemented as a feature in the game. And imagine this: a circulation of silver flowing through Salem with services like Foresting, Mining, Fishing, Crafters, Artisans, Authors, and everything in between. Anything is possible in this game. Hell, even real estate is a possibility! And eventually, if the player base grew larger, the devs would have even more motivation and inspiration for bringing new features into the game. What about things like Elections? Ritual sacrifice, REAL In-game Politics! But, as a great man once said, "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
We can make Salem the best sandbox MMO to ever be conceived, but it needs a solid economy. Even if things like this aren't started by me, someone has to bring that extra light into the game. Otherwise, the game will eventually fade away. Have a nice day, everyone.
