Central NPC town hub

One of the few things Salem did well is the central hub, like Boston. A place where you can buy some basic wares from NPCs, and also a hub for people to meet and greet each other. It created a lot of fun interactions in that game, interactions that would carry over well to HnH.

Someone probably already suggested this but I couldn't find it.

It could be interesting but there's so much that has to be done to make it work, namely standardizing currency or using tokens which will devalue player products and markets.

I don't think is something they'll ever spring for, but if they did it would have to be after a certain amount of time to avoid spoiling early gameplay.

Easy fix. Sell only basic foragables or basic q10 things. trade foragables etc. So like 10 bugs for a mushroom. No new currency. No Q involved. And it would only help noobs which i think was how salem was too but its been a long time.

A pre-generated central hub market would deter from the haven-ness. We already have the freedom to travel to the center of the map, build a market, and found a realm where people could converse and trade.

There would be literally no difficulties putting milk in your ass and uploading the video, but you haven't explained to me why you won't.

Literally >95% of the forum people want a market, and the forum is gonna be super biased towards being better at the game. More normal people are even more restricted by stuff like traveling being tedious than the people posting here.

Clearly, since account age is the best indicator correctness, I would like to point out that there have been central markets in the past, and people like SnuggleSnail literally ruined them.

No offence to people like SnuggleSnail, they are delightful in their own special way

Have you ever took it under consideration that the owners of those markets may have been their enemies?
