ohhh them sexy custom textures and items in the screenshot, at least i know atherys will have lots of build options still to make things faaaancy

yeah the as the evo world map was better designed than v2, even if the builds didnt end up as impressive and crazy as on v2 for the most part evo would just be a better single player world to explore and play on with a few mods (like airships because you know its still a huge world even if it was more compact than v2) and the daggerlands had sexy lakefront property values with that big lake redesign

"We identified the types of towns that you like as a main culprit for that. "Close knit small groups" do not take in new players. They don't offer help, head to a capital to feed, educate, and include new players. They don't want to interact with that aspect of the server, which is their right. But it hurts the server. Eventually, all towns become two or three player exclusive towns, and new players have nowhere to go unless a nation head sets up a noob town, which lasts about two weeks before they can't deal with it anymore." do you remember the daggerlands? we had two active newbie towns i can think of off of the top of my head, but it was almost always pretty damn empty as a nation, towns that didnt want members werent a big problem in the daggerlands we would FIGHT IN CHAT ABOUT WHO GOT THE NEWBIE, hell my town had ALWAYS been a newbie town since the launch of evo and before that in v2 i was IN a newbie town didnt stop us being the least populated nation there would be a few iso groups but the biggest towns (obviously) tried to recruit every person who came into gen chat not knowing what they were doing, didnt stop towns being empty from lack of players being active even forcing people into one or two big towns wont help population when it was common that there would only be 1 or two people online in nation, including yourself i dont think the "towns by default would be sustainable" is any real explanation when the problem is the actual lack of people on the server during certain months not being able to sustain more than a single town in the model that you are suggesting, and at that stage whats the point in having towns if everyone is in a single town or one of two towns anyway only being able to choose between the pvp town and the builder town wont be fun, and if it gets as bad as it sometimes did in v2 and evo (and i dont see why it wouldnt, dead months be dead months) youd be stuck with just "the town" wow, great super fun its limiting for new players to not have choice and veterans and players with different play styles that arent pvp or build based, and really whats the point? just to have a populated town? when the reasons to HAVE towns in the first place are kinda stripped away by this anyway the whole thing that drove me to minecraft and atherys was the freedom to do what i wanted, the sandbox of it, i could go find my niche and sit in it, and in atherys find the town that suited my niche, ive never seen a new player simply be ignored in nation in chat when looking for a town because theres a niche that needs a town of people like a big pvp town that im sure every nation had, we had 3 of them until the end days of evo

just saying, after the initial release glut of players......i dont think the player-base will be able to sustain the kinds of towns the admins are looking to enforce for the VAST majority of my atherys playtime, i played on a pretty empty server, i didnt mind that so much and im essentially a solo player almost all the time but when you have a choice of two towns because of how low the population is then thats just not going to be very fun for people looking to join towns heres an idea, for the people who want that isolation or to play with just their 2 friends, just have a very very limited plot claim for them, they can claim a very very small plot of land for their solo or 2-3 person group that way no massive land grabs, and you can find cool little huts in the wilderness instead of big empty towns like have that restriction on actual big towns, but have this little option for the more close knit small groups or isolationists, plus the land restriction will be another incentive to join a bigger town so you have space to build huge stuff if thats your thing just saying you can add options for the other types of players that still push them towards the large towns you are hoping will work (wich im pessimistically thinking WILL only have a few because of low population during the dead months)

it needs to be able to kite.......its a super glass cannon, and mobs swarm like crazy it will die suuuuuper easy, and ill take warp over blazing speed any day to get out of swarms, its just so glass cannon q.q needs a way to get out of trouble, sure people will use it for pvp but the levelling it to mastery takes place in pve and its not a fun class to grind with it being so fragile, at the very least mobs dont warp you like crazy anymore so that helped but an escape method would be nice, even with a long cooldown
