    @Paladin Michael, the discussion on streams has been that anyone will be able to visit the new overworld and player owned towns, but not be able to enter adventure scenes or npc towns. currently working as expected.

    Thank you Alley Oop. So it is no bug if you know the stream information ;)

    Well, it is not exactly, what players, who bought Episode 2, would expect ... after reading the advertise:


    Shroud of the Avatar: Episode 2 Early Access
    Be one of the first to embark on new adventures in the upcoming lands and stories of Shroud of the Avatar: Episode 2!
    Upgrade your existing Episode 1 access so you don't miss out on the exciting new world to come!


    This upgrade includes:
    • FULL GAME ACCESS of Episode 2 when it is released.
    • Exclusive Title: Visionary
    • Exclusive Emote (exact emote to be created at a future date)
    • Early access to Episode 2 content as it is released

    First, this was all talked about when episode 2 early access was initially offered. Second, and more importantly, how do you expect people without early access to get to their lot when their town moves to the new land?

    Interesting question, which is still answered, isn't it? ;)

    My answer -before I got the information above- would have been:
    With no Episode 2 access, there is no possibility to place a house on Episode 2 lands.
    And if a POT (with Episode 2 access) moves to Episode 2 lands, the lot deed and all items would go to bank, if an inhabitant wouldn't have Episode 2 access.

    As I now know, it was solved differently ;)

    It would really suck if they did that.

    To me, it makes no difference if they have access to a POT, they are not part of adventure scenes or the storyline or the stand-alone game. Anyone without access can just walk the overworld map.

    Just realized after I went through this thread that future teleporters will need to check for Ep2 access.

    There was this lengthy debate early on in the project on why the overland map was even necessary. Now it's very clear it provides an extra layer of flexibility on how access to new content can be controlled and managed.

    The current plan is that the Episode 2 overworld (Mistrendur) will not be restricted, nor will Player-Owned Towns assigned to that overworld.
