Town upgrades



Asked: 2000.11.21
Name: Devan Olafsun
Question Title: Town upgrades
Category: Economy
Question: Wondering if the towns, specifically the "starter" towns, will ever be upgraded with better equipment, more components (tapers and at least the first 3 scarabs), more arrowshafts (always empty), etc.

If anything you would think that the towns would do some trading amongst each other. In doing this people who have just started the game might actually stay in them a little longer instead of heading to Eastham, Mayoi or Qalabar after lvl 3 or so.

Answer: Probably not. Starter towns, certainly not. Newbie town inventories are deliberately sparse, so that high level players are discouraged from going there, and low level players are encouraged to explore outward.
