    Makes me excited that most scenes are still clones near our Metropolis.

    Yea, they're nice. It does make me wonder what type of seasonal mechanics we can expect though. Its a cool thing to have in mind anyway.

    Ah Mr. Steve you have put me in quite a quandry. Shall I allow myself to live under Military law in Harvest. Or should I embrace freedom and live with my Guildmates up on Graff Isle where Travis is also spinning a beautiful home for us all among the gleaming Graff Gems and merchant homes of the Mining Families. But alas I have always been a farmer at heart and you have brought a piece of home to rest in Harvest. Thank you good Sir for making the chains of occupation not so harsh in humble Harvest.

    I like the suspension rope leading to the mountain peak. Can that be walked on?
    Edit: or will that be just a teleport to the peak? I'm assuming the latter.

    Seeing the tightrope, or the pile of corpses underneath it? ;)

    When a town is worked on, like Harvest currently is, is it cloned from live to QA, or does it have random houses while being worked on?

    Looks like a nice spot for a quick gust-duel, or the forthcoming fire-dance emote [re: tightrope]. Great capture btw. :)

    Probably random or chosen by the scene builder, so they don't end up with a bunch of ugly knight towers and lighthouses cluttering their nice scene up :3

    Hey so @SorcerousSteve what's up with the "Bridge to Nowhere" in Spite? There should be a lot up there, or something fun! I explored the whole place and loved it, and moved there thanks to your beautiful rendering, even though someone stole my perfect view and I'm stuck behind a giant rock outcropping *cry*

    Give us something cool up there mang!

    This looks fantastic - it's making me think of moving my row house from Aerie to Harvest. If only I had a spare village lot to build a farm on...

    Well, it looks like Gringo, who happens to own the Keep up there on that high wire hill, is going to have a hell of a time coming and going from town.

    Every day a decision will have to be made if he will go the short way to town and risk a 'splat' or the long way... ;-)
