Suggestion [Township] Initial Costs

[HolyRane]

Frankly, I've never understood this whole "there's too many towns"mindset. Especially now, when towns are basically useless, and most people seem to prefer guilds or loose factions.
Realistically, the amount of citizens required to keep a capital (assuming it is 50, as stated previously) is so many as to ensure the death of any capital level town after a short period of time. If anything, I'd say the whole system needs a revamp to make towns worth these constant price increases. As it stands, the way I see it, towns are nothing more than a region and a symbol of status, with an increasingly massive cost and decreasing benefit.

hasnt it always been like that...?

I think applelove makes a good point ... I think using a flat line basis for town members required is a good idea

Hoping this comes to pass... I remember on sactum town was 1.5k coins...equal to like 2.5k nowadays.. A bit cheap haha

Honestly towns are incredibly hard to manage these days. Ever since spawn plots and personal regions came into play last map towns have been annoying. Before we had these alternate regions to store our things in people actually had to live in towns. It brought people together. My kingdom last map got hit hard when this happened. Everyone just started living way off site and it isolated them and in some cases they just left the town as they has no reason to be in one. The entire town system needs a revamp IMO. I would love to see things like p regions and spawn plots go but I dot think it'll ever happen. With increasing prices and decreasing benefit and incentive to be in towns I just don't see running a town to be fun or productive in most cases.

What having a cap would or could do

Increase the value of towns Supply on demand theory.

Would make bigger towns possible to survive
Lesser towns for player to spread out to would force players to stick and group up.

Things we would needfor these bigger towns be worth the time.

Sub-Regions
Owner perks such as
Channel creation number of X per lvl of town

Most likely more can be said but thats all I can think of this second

Make hamlets maybe smaller instead of 100x100 but honestly, gathering 7500 coins is a bitch when you are new. Low health, crappy supplies, 0 skills and a majority of the world mined makes it a pain to find gold. Everywhere you go a lot is mined out. I would say 80% of my time is spent looking for a place on the edges of the world that isn't mined.

Remove DG plots! fuck em. Last map zeal plots didn't come into play until far into the map. Thus people joined towns and created friendships and would stay with their town, even after zeal plots were available. DG plots are the root of all evil
