Cantr II Discussion Forum

Many voices here sound anti-big-town. I disagree. Cantr has a shrinking population in a huge world. If you spawn in a big town, it's easy to walk to a small or empty town, even on one of the main islands. If you spawn in the middle of nowhere, getting to a population center could be very difficult.

However interesting your small town may be right this second, it probably won't be a year from now. Few characters live past thirty. Towns need new blood, and splitting that over a thousand little towns is suicide for Cantr.

I'm not anti-big town... I just think it would be fun for Cantr vets to be able to spawn a wilderness character that literally ends up having to experience the primitive part of this game. To have to play Cantr as a survival game in a way.

Neither of you are very clear (at least to me) on where you stand on the issue.

Every time I see somebody going off alone to 'start their own town' I just have to roll my eyes a little, because of exactly this.

And when they put down a law note it's just adorable.

Yes to both. Anything to save Cantr II, urgently.

Supporting both though I think the automatic is more important. Activity should be rewarded, activity is what new players should see and the automatic would accomplish both.

Great ideas. Moved to accepted suggestions.

How would this work? Would there be a simple option for it, or is there an item that you use that disables it for some time? It could be a good use for all the rubber that's just laying around.

It's an OOC thing, so why should IC item affect that?
