Everything you need to know about Towns, Nations and Outposts in v6


Towns are created by first gaining Town Permission and having 85,000 Noobz. You shouldn't apply for Town permission until you have close to 85,000 Noobz or over, you also shouldn't apply for Town permissions unless you have a structured plan for your town and know what you want to gain out of it. Creating a town for the purpose of selling it off, is not acceptable and will not be allowed.

Towns will no longer be taxed, however Mayor may choose to still Tax their residents. The main reason for this change is to avoid Towns being robbed and turned into ruins as a result. This of course has been a big problem for us in the past and we are trying to irradiate any issues that may cause mass grief or disturbance to players on the server.

If a Mayor no longer wishes to run a town they must request or sort-out a transfer of ownership. Failure to transfer ownership or abandon your town due to lack of activity may cause Admin intervention, which will mean forced ownership transfers (Most likely to high ranked Town members).

Towns cannot be deleted. Completely abandoned towns will be auction off by the Admins

With the introduction of two worlds this allows Towns to breath, without restriction, without limits. A world just for towns to expand and grow, a world without the trouble of wilderness buildings and arguments about who claimed over who.

Towns will have a variety of ranks and each with unique permissions (Updated soon)

Town Arenas will now work and allow for Player vs Player in Town arena plots.

Nations and Outposts

Nations will cost 170k and will only be created by players with Mayor permissions

Outposts will cost 42.5k and will only be created by players with Mayor permissions

All Mayors will be invited into a private Mayor and Nation board on the forums for town related discussion and politics.

Town and Nation Profiles


With the website update we are planning Town and Nation profiles, an online overview of a town or nation allowing visitors to view and decide which towns appeal to them the most.

The Mayors will have full customization over their Town or Nation profiles allowing them to post news updates, information about the town, organize events and more.

Mayors may also choose to have an application on their profile, which will send all town applications to their Personal message box. Allowing you to invite the most dedicated and friendly town-loving players.

Alternatively, if you wish for your town to grow fast and be open you can add a "Join Town" button which will auto-invite players to your town.

Nation profiles will also work in a similar way offering a place for all the towns of the nation to speak and communicate between each other.

(of course you meant "will no longer be taxed")

This is especially good.
Taking away taxes leaves more competition on town management and should result in probably less numerous but better looking and functional towns.

If a mayor asks for taxes then the town should provide services in return and maybe even organize town activities (games, builds, etc) to keep citizens interested, something that I think was really underrated.

I think the town profile should have a Rating by a Neutral person or Admin, and have categories for example:

Attractiveness 10/10
Member Friendly 9/10
and so on

This is so a mayor can't just make a amazing review and in actual it ... sucks.
Also it gives a standard scale.

If we've got co-mayors, like me and Smith in Utopia and Magic and Adrian in Imperium, will both players be able to access the special Mayor thread?

Foob I have a very big question, what is the maximum number of plots per person in the town world and per person in the wilderness world?

Wilderness: Infinity
Town: Infinity

Foob... How come you never answer MY questions? 

Will towns have to go through you for a process of area selection, to reduce the chance of two towns getting right up on each other?

There will be a separation between two towns by a number of blocks possibly 500?

Will V5 mayors have to save money up to repurchase a town, or will a land grant be given?

Everyone will start from the ground up. We don't want to put false money into the economy.

On a slight tangent, will neutral and hostile mobs grinders be allowed?
Not just the spawners available in the server shop (as V5) but also the standard dark room spawners.

I.E.:
Buying wilderness chunks, is there any problem with creating a spawn room for an exp grinder?
Or is there a system to prevent such things (like a lowered spawn cap)?

Same goes for breeding, since I know there was a tight limit when I last played here.

Glad to hear that mayors from v5 get v6 town permission, I've moved my mayor-ship to Mistic to get familiar with the tasks of mayor and what not, and looking forward having her run a town if we decide to still do that. These are affordable and fair prices too, and a motivator to make money x 2 - so we can have a town, resources, outposts for things like local market, local arena, etc. Version 6 information is starting to shape up and it seems it's starting to be worth this half a year wait.

Agreed

Do you have to be a town owner from v5 to apply for a town? I remember reading that somewhere a long time ago. Also would being a sub-mayor count?
