List public charters in spawn room

Postby Fostik » Wed Dec 22, 2021 9:36 pm

As title says, this will be a list of public charter stones that allow new character spawning along with public visibility from spawn room. Small information for such charter would be good option to describe what is this place for spawn.

This will be helpful for newcomers, will allow them not to spawn in forest and understand nothing, but instead spawn closer to communities open for communications and interactions, which increases game engagement.
This will also help villages which allows newcomers to have opportunities to semi-automate recruitment.

How would you deal with bad faith actors?

That's the part of the game as well
Betrayals and ganks inside villages are as fun as other game activities, isn't it?

I think it's more like putting a public charter stone up and harvesting nabs

Again, didn't saw you bothered about villages that recruits newbies to hold them in slavery.
This will not change behavior of low level players or fraction bois, it only will give a proper ingame tools for same things happening.

Changing the tools to make something easier is what concerns me. Nabs being sprinkled randomly out in the world will be at the mercy of whoever they end up near. Sprinkling some nabs in highly concentrated areas just seems to be more likely to get them bad experiences.

Soon as any form of intentionally initiated social contact happens that's one thing. But I still think haven's better off indirectly encouraging players muddle on their own a bit before they decide to join a group.

Why? Is living as a hermit without access to 80% of game features is better than living in a different size communities with division of labor?



Roughly 70% of MONKE realm dwellers who is actively playing now does not know about forums and discord servers, the core idea is to have more tools for communication in game, not forum or chats.
Moreover, no one forcing newbies to spawn on charters, it is an option to jump into communities instead of wild spawn, so people will decide what kind of experience they are looking for: fresh start or join village/town.
This was a thing in old legacy haven, but were removed due to easy availability of character, and ability to spawn naked alts for grieving purposes.

My last experience with a public charter stone was mixed. For the most part, a public charter was a good place for new players to spawn, but it was a concentration of inexperienced players, and when a particular group decided to get up to raiding that city, it was pretty ugly.


The other experience I've seen with public charters is a group of bad actors used it to harass new players spawning into the world.

I think the option should be there, yes, but new players should still be encouraged to spawn into the world randomly rather than at a charter.
