    The thing that makes metropolises so great is that weirdo's like me can have a mumbling conversation with a street post and everyone will just walk on by without a care.

    Thanks Portalarium for giving a metropolis to the guild that I am a proud member of.

    There are a few concerns about plot security and eviction so here are my thoughts...

    I am not on the council but as a guard the only thing that would cause to approach Vallas about a problem individual would be a serious and repeat greifer. It's difficult to define greifing but I am sure we could all agree when we see it. Other than that, the occasional fight or argument is expected in a large community. We welcome everybody.

    Remember this is an open city. This means everyone is welcome - reds, blues, grays (the guards will be watching...) elves, dwarves, orcs. We want everyone to feel at home. This will be a vibrant and exciting place to live. I cannot wait to live there.

    We are always looking for militia (volunteer army) and guards folks. If you fancy helping us keep Beran's Reach safe just click below :)

    Player Owned Metropolis

    The Player Owned City wasn’t big enough for The Bear Tavern Guild, so at their request we’ve added the even bigger Player Owned Metropolis to the Add-On Store! Metropolis includes:
    • 83,400 m2 of player lots
    • A design session with the Dev Team to define details including:
      • Name of Town
      • Location: Roughly which quadrant of the map. (Exact hex will be determined by Portalarium, Inc.)
      • Biome: Forest, Mountains, Grasslands, Swamp, etc.
      • NPC Building Definition (inn, smithy, etc.)
      • NPC names and stories
      • Lot Selection: Determine which lots of which size you want. For example at this size:
        • 139 Village Lots
        • 123 Village Lots + 1 Castle Lot
        • etc.
    • X Keys to X Locked Lots:
      • Keys equal to the number of lots chosen
      • Owner of the keys can lock and unlock lots at will so they can actively control who gets to live there
      • The key owner can evict an occupant and lock the lot using the key
      • Players will still need lot deeds to claim the lots once the town owner unlocks the lots
    • Central Square with 15 NPC owned buildings
    • Add On Store Houses:
      • 4 Add On Store Village Houses
      • 4 Add On Store Town Houses
      • 4 Add On Store City Houses
    NOTES: Player Owned Towns do not include the lot deeds. There will be a path to achieve this in game via in game gold purchase but the ownership of the scene will incur a rental fee


    Just to be fair, wanted to cite the source of Metropolis, for Historical Posterity in the annals of Beran's Reach.

    Basically, places like Owl's Head and Kingsport are small pimples next to the enormity of such a place as Beran's Reach unless they expand them... o_O

    I think it's cool. I'm glad that you chose a proper name for the city as well.

    My only concern is about Guilds tending to dominate the game and ending up with cities that don't reflect the flavor of the world in their naming, which would damage immersion for me.

    Very true, it should compliment and enhance everyones experience, never take away from it.

    It will definitely be a balancing act so that individuals who play the online medium can have just an enriching experience as larger communities.

    A fair point. My hope is the city council will help to counteract this. It will give both guild heads and prominent business owners a chance to speak up. This fingers crossed should avoid the metropolis being too dominated. the High Council above that has executive authority to keep the politics to a minimum and to ensure that everything's running as it should. Beran's Reaches open standing will be maintained. :)

    @Vallas, have you guys given any thought to being an open PVP guild? Even if you're not fully open to PVP, you'll need guards in your town to make it safe for individuals that are open pvp. Any thoughts on how any of your player town NPC's will be guards?

    We'll need an active guard force to keep the peace. This partly depends on how the criminal flagging system is implemented. Luckily we will likely have NPCs, tavern guards and the militia to rely on!

    Just filled out my housing application tonight before I head to bed. Will be filling out the militia application, too. I'm excited to see how TBT and Beran's Reach grow.

    Just curious, how did Beran's Reach get its name?
