Might want to pre-empively move Sasnes a bit then. She's wallable.
Not over those skargard tiles I don't think?

None presently, but someone suggested it to me. Not sure if good.

The Thingwalls do not care if they, by landing characters, perform wall jumps, so do not build anything you want secure that close to them. Our way of counting 15 tiles may differ from your conception of how 15 tiles should be counted, so use a good margin of safety.
Mentioning these things before most of the playerbase builds their village might be a good idea in the future
I'm not sure how these goals aren't seen as contradicting. Effective size of virtual distances is measured in time units, thus any two points can be either better connected (moving between them takes less time) or more different in the sense of position (moving between them takes more time)... Maybe I missed something?jorb wrote:We hope that these changes will allow for a more interconnected world, while at the same time providing for an increased sense of locality in it, hopefully thereby taking a stride toward solving a long standing conflict in our game design, between the desire, on the one hand, for an MMO-environment where players are connected, and the desire, on the other, for a game world where locality and space matter.
If there would be a pali in the form of a "hollow" letter C, inner wall bordering the Thingwall and outer one at those 15 tiles range... would this mean the first part, that most of incoming players would be caught inside with only a possibility to hearth home? Now I imagine a group of dangerous animals lured inside this pali...jorb wrote:Not in a way that would prevent him from hearthing home, or using the Thingwall to travel elsewhere.
Looks much cooler than "thing". Though "Thingwall" is funnier.jorb wrote:þing

Perhaps it could be enacted as one of the kingdom buffs?

A War Flag and perhaps a group of people guarding it could tip them off. Could perhaps be expanded upon. Could perhaps even be interesting if you couldn't travel to it when its challenged. Not sure what the PvP implications of that would be.
Presently the status of being challenged changes nothing for Fast Travel.
