troll claims

Could I surround Boston with private claims so newbs can't even leave boston?

you can but you will be wasting your time, as the devs will nuke it to the ends of the universe before you can do anything with it.

also why would you bother?? trolling noobs is pointless and just makes you a good target for counter abuse lolol

oh and dont forget pclaims require about 3-4 tile gap between them so you will wind up having to spend alot of silver to make 1 massive claim.. only to have it nuked a day later

It's been tried. Look up "The Great Wall of Darwoth".

Just don't! Do you have any idea how annoying that is? Especially for newcomers. Do you want more people to stay in game or see them leave after they have been knocked-out / murdered after barely stepping foot in the game?

You're asking a guy that is willing to go through the effort and, might I add, very great expense this question when he probably doesn't give two (expletive deleted)?

The question was posed back when the buffer zone between personal claims was removed, and I personally made sure jorb saw the post, and the answer given above was the exact same one I received about it. I was even going to log in and grind out the silver to start doing it just to make a point if I didn't get the answer. Later, darwoth saved everyone the expense and did it, but he didn't know "the word of god."

Now, we have the fix, which was there in the first place. (It also helped that players were walling off other claims and such in a way to prevent a target from leaving their own claim.) At this point, no, there will probably be no intervention as it would be impossible to wall off a city so that nobody can leave. Of course, nobody leaves by "walking out" anyway if they're new (or at least shouldn't if they're smart). That's what the wilderness guide is for.
