How many ISK is that?

The availability of quit rooms, save rooms, resources such as food and water and the attitudes of the local wildlife are things that make an area more or less habitable. It's not technically binary, rather you will find shades of grey, with things feeling more habitable the further south you go. The introduction of the camping skill will make less habitable areas more habitable on a temporary basis for expeditionary/RPT means etc.

Quote from: Usiku on Today at 10:05:06 AMThe options available for 'habitable areas of play' if you need a change of scenery/surrounding players, will be Allanak, Labyrinth, Red Storm or 'Southern' Wilderness (which is totally viable, as it always has been, sometimes you just want to live in a cave, that's fine). Other options may open up later, but those won't be Tuluk/Morins/Northern places etc.

Could you clarify what you mean here by habitable? Is there a distinction between what's habitable and what's accessible? Since the last update mentioned the Grey Forest, for example, it suggests that's an area which can be accessed eventually, if not initially, in the upcoming season.

Tuluk cannot be fully open and accessible but unsupported, that simply isn't viable. There is just too much potential world/NPC response that could be required for any number of PC actions.

It will be slightly different than when Tuluk was closed before.  You will be able to enter the city, but only a handful of rooms are open with minimal shops and a heavy military presence.  There will be no quit rooms in the city.

Basically, if you want to visit and buy a souvenir go for it, but you won't be able to live there and it won't support you hanging around.

It won't be like a 'new Red Storm' because Red Storm will have staff support, Tuluk won't.

Working on an update to that as we speak, actually.  Stay tuned....

Quote from: Lizzie on May 08, 2024, 02:17:02 PMThere are also players who have karma, but never play anything other than 0-karma roles. Playing a human combat or merchant or crafting or stealth character requires no karma, yet any of those options can rise in the ranks and become incredibly influential. They could become a Templar's "Executor." They could become a boss in the Guild. They could become a noble's Senior Aide. They could become a skimmer captain, or destroy the city's enemies, or gain notoriety as a master assassin.

NONE of those roles require any karma at all.

I've dabbled in roles of similar vein and flavor on ApocalypseMUD - most of them sound extremely badass on paper, but boil down to 'idle around until your Noble charge is around', or 'AFK until someone who opposes your city of choice's political compass pops up so you can harass them', or 'get paid to type 'backstab dumdum' on someone'.

It'd be cool if players had remotely any agency whatsoever. But from what I play on the other MUD, and from what I hear about this one, we don't.

But all your hospitality and nice comments are noted and appreciated. I doubt I'm going to be giving this a whirl, but hope to see you on the off chance I do!

EDIT: You say "destroy the city's enemies", but the city HAS no enemies, correct? The opposing city is entirely unsupported from what I know, and everyone in the currently accessible city is just in a vacuum.
