Cheap?

I find that having too few characters means cantr has long stretches of boringness, whereas too many and I can't give them all the time they deserve. I'm back up to 10 now; I have a 20-year-old on K island and a 24-year-old in the Dory/Klojt/Akypor area, but all the rest of mine are in their late 40s (actually for the time being they're all 46, but that won't last). It's interesting being on the newspawn side of things for the first time since summer 03 :roll:

Being an experienced player with a newspawn is always a fun challenge. See how powerful you can get in a short time!

Meh. Sometimes I like to take the road less traveled. My newer spawns aren't that powerful. It's nice to be a bit player, especially since my older chars are either masters of their own destiny or fairly high up in some food chain or another.

I think its a good idea, and if you were really sad you could even clothe them.... ah the possibilities... yeah, some extra responsability would be good... and it wouldnt be too hard to feed them... raw meat is all a dog would need.

ADDED: maybe even you could catch like say a horse, and then saddle it and have it as a vehicle? but it would have to be hard to catch and you would have to make a lasso, and make a saddle and maybe horseshoes to make it go faster, and if it doesnt get enough rest it could go lame and stuff like that. *pants with the ideas spilling out of his head, probably someone elses but what the heck*

The majority, if not nearly everyone, has more than one character.

Just as long as the CRB is enforced and the characters do not cooperate, I don't see what is cheapening about it.

Eh, I have 9 characters...3 of em spawned after my 45 year old batch.

I have considered plaing one character at a time, however I find I have too many ideas for characters to stick at one, and it gets too boring

Yup, I am bringing this back up. :P

I would love to be able to feed the animals, especially if they are aggressive in towns with a lot of food making their aggressiveness the only reason for being hunted.

I would love to see "Animal sniffs you for food" or after feeding an animal "Animal follows you" anything like that from befriending an animal... :) The "Man was attacked by animal" should not be all they can do. Not all animals are like that. Especially once they are befriended.

Surely you can do most of this with RP? Of course, There's always the suggestion that you could be spawned as an animal... now, that's an idea!

lol Now that would be funny.

Well, my thing is the RP does not help the attacks. You should be able to befriend an animal so that you are not attacked frequently. It can help in places that are overly populated with animals and also with places that do not need to hunt for food.

Taming is cool.
Cantr is cool.

Cantr should have taming!


My chars don't want pets, but they want just "animal strength"...

If we implement taming, we will have to add shrews.
