    Hail Avatars,

    Do you believe that Open PvP Town with NPC but without guards (like Buccaneer's Den in Ultima Online) would be great for the SotA PvP community?

    If there is a reputation system, I SAY YESSSSSSSS !!!

    In SotA, I ll be a bastard, villain and my ultimate objectively is to be a Dread Lord. So, i hope the NPC Guards will attack me on sight.

    @Chris @DarkStarr and @RichardGarriott , will we have the pleasure of having a city like this?

    PS: Avatar, if you think it's a good idea, leaving a response with +1

    We were discussing this very thing this morning! We are brainstorming how to make this happen. Stay tuned!

    You should be a "bast..." Dread Lord!

    Take care my friend. I know where you live.

    Oh yeah. I still need to place my row lot in your town ;)

    Yeah, but a PoT is weak in lore where as a NPC town can be actually planned out and layed out as a full area....I can see a lot of potential in this.

    +1, the world needs dangerous places enter at your own risk...



    Though I'd request multiple zone in spots so there is no entry way ganking..

    Or numerous NPC hotels with rented rooms? Everyone standing at the same banker will make for a sub standard hunt and find experience.

    Or a black market bank system where there are numerous fences you can interact with who represent the bank. Any fence can get your items but you may need to wait a sec or pay a bit.

    OP sounds like a great idea... A town where NPC's will not only interact with outlaws, thieves, and murderers, but are increasingly friendlier the more of a villain you are! And the opposite would apply for visiting "good guy" players! Yes!!

    Maybe also the only place that evil characters can place a house outside of POT's also? The possibilities are exciting.

    I don't know if anyone of you remember Dr feelgood or Alice cooper on Chesapeake server but they were infamous. While at the banks people would always update thier locations you knew to either avoid that location or grab ur buds and go on a hunting trip. You talk to anyone on that server in the early days everyone knew and or feared them.

    Darkfall Online had a system of towers that zapped (lightning) other factions, similar I think to DAOC. The one thing I hated about that system was that people played games with it. They'd find someone new, annoy them enough so they would attack them and then the new guy would get killed by the "guard tower" and all his stuff would be gone. I love the idea of guards, but hate the idea of binary accountability that can see beyond unsophisticated exploits like this. So it will be interesting to see if you can improve on this type of mechanic. :)

    There's only one Rat's Nest. But there's certainly more room for an NPC PVP town. I hope it's near our location.

    I'm hoping Darkstarr is primarily talking about a reputation system though.
