Constantinople, the center of trade

[juhubert]

While I cannot speak for the people of Sodom, I will say that I would go after anybody who attacked any of my fellow villagers because allowing someone to get away with that sort of crime only encourages more of it.

this!

and we pretty much expect to do likewise from most of the villages. we know, that there are some villages without high end rangers or such and we will give our best to offer some protection for them as well.

but we do not intend to play some sort of world police. so basically, each village is adviced to look for its own security. we also would advice, that, if you are not sure about being safe in constantinople, you should log in with your claim alt, to have a brief look around and then bring in your trader. as the city layout is not a complete closed one, but open to a river. this intended to get independed traders into the city, as they don´t have the possibility to set up a crosspost on a personal claim. and as we won´t do some 24/7 guard duty, we won´t have a 24/7 gate keeper.

but since it is a harsh and unforgiving world out there we will and can not guarantee 100% safety.

and on the other hands, with a game not being entirely rid of bugs and exploits, there won´t be so many high level characters be out to kill some noobs just for the lulz.

We also count on the fact that many villages will participate and the town will be highly frequented from big factions. So if a killer decides to kill a newbie within Constantinople not only would he have to fear to be summoned, but also to be caught right on the spot by some powerful player and slain right there.

Took me a couple of hours to find the place. Looked around a bit but didn't see anyone. It all looks pretty neat and I like the willows.

Let us know when the charter stone is finished.

Boy, it's going to be fun trying to get there now seeing as the images stopped working for me. u_u;

[Lothaudus]

Yeah, images don't appear to be working.

Mind you if it's right in the center of the world, it shouldn't be too hard to find.

Good thing I downloaded the pictures.

Why don't we like have three specialized plots for loner-traders to frequent, no claiming needed, and it would be near a plot dedicated to policework? Then the Enforcers must be in uniform to make sure everyone knows they are the law. As for the embassies, why not make smaller plots for them to just house the diplomats and have the trading occur through negotiation, and then goods would be delivered on schedule with a manifest to check that everything is in order when they reach their destinations?

It's not like ANYBODY is going to play as policemen (In uniforms <-- lolwut? ) or will you?
you're thinking too hard, we make a village, people from villages get claim, people get crossroads and trading begins. Theft scents will be found anyway and the village or other villages and stuff can go after the thief.

And big claims for villages, for vending stalls and stuff.
