wow! 15 chars and 5 of them are in the latest top 10. Amazing! Even more amazing is the fact that I haven't heard of some of those places even with all the characters I've got travelling.

Thanks for posting this

I agree with Muffin... I'k like to see this, and other stats, updated, automatically or something...

But that's probably because I'm a human geography student... demographics make me go all gooey... :wink:

i don't think we should know it actually... It should stay in-game... If not some people would be tempted to use the information for their charries, to go to more exciting places...

Big cities would only grow, while I would hope some smaller villages would become more important crossroads of trade between the cities...

Thats rubbish. The difference between top and bottom on that able above is about twenty. Since when did twenty people make the difference between exciting and not. Most of them probably don't speak for the best part of a year.

I mean that if you would be living in Seatown Lakeside for example and want to find another place to live and you have the choice between travelling to Seatown Forest or another place mentioned in the Location page, you might be tempted to choose Seatown Forest, because you (not your char) know that there is life over there (top 10)...

Not the difference between number 1 and number 10, but the difference between 1-10 and all the others might be an issue...

And those people will be the same ones who spawn a character in Olip, decide they like it, and get their spawn in Kwor to start asking how to get there. Those people will always be the same... finding out this statistic won't affect that. In fact, in my experience, the big cities are places to avoid not congregate...

If only that wasd true... Very few cities seem to grow at the moment. I really do wish that it was cities and villages instead of the random sprawl at the moment...

No becuase I am asking for ooc information, I'm not going to be using it in game.

People already know occ what the biggest towns are, as I say, knowing which is the biggest of the biggest isn't going to make a difference.

What I'd like to know is why there are no government programs to quell all that inner city and southside crime in Bljolt. Why aren't you thinking of our youth?!

And why do they already know it? Because of this forum...

Personally i think this forum is nice to discuss suggestions for improvement or to indicate possible bugs, but I don't like the forum being used to talk about life IC. Talk about life IC to other characters, talk with them about the biggest town you have seen and stuff, but all IC.

Here on the forum it would be nice to talk about the most special moments IC, nice stories, the most remarkable characters and stuff, but I don't like to see places mentionned...

The less we talk OOC, the more real IC is and the more people will be talking IC as well...

I would find it highly doubtful that all that many CRB occur from this forum. Much more likely to happen with people using IM, or abusing power and knowledge they have...

If you have a problem, don't use the forum. I'd rather keep such discussion here, where it can be monitored, than happened over IM...

You can say anything with a wink after it, and it indeed absolves the comment.
