We have implemented some important changes in how starting towns for new players are determined. These changes were designed to address concerns that the current system (1) overloads [[Ta'Vaalor]] with new characters and (2) undermines role-play generally by putting new characters in places where it is implausible for them to start, based on their race. We're also hoping to give a boost to smaller communities, like [[River's Rest]], by making them available to some new characters. The changes are: |
|||
1. Free trial characters will no longer be treated differently from other new (non-Premium) characters. |
|||
2. All new non-Premium characters will start in one of the three established "drop" towns: [[Wehnimer's Landing]], [[Icemule Trace]], and Ta'Vaalor. Although there is a degree of randomness in the placement, the starting-point likelihood is heavily influenced by the character's race. For example, no [[dark elf]] will start in Ta'Vaalor, while pure [[Elf|elves]] are very likely to start there. |
|||
3. New Premium and Platinum characters may choose to start not only in the three established drop towns, but also in [[Solhaven]], River's Rest, [[Cysaegir]], or [[Ta'Illistim]]. They are given a warning that these other four towns may not be as newbie-friendly as the Big 3. |
