Towns
Town will only be limited to size and building depending on what the town members want to put into it. Each town can only have 1 type of building/work area but will never grow without the support of the entire town as a whole. Do you want to play for a year and still be a small town or a large metropolis? The choice is yours
*Note* There will be main towns like normal to be able to train skills and collect resources. You cannot start a town without a bit of experience under your belt.
Town Names
Town Names must be original and unlike in other games cannot have names like One, X, SAS, Sanity's Requiem etc. Sorry guys but this idea will make the game more realistic so we can put forth the effort to actually adding in some good thought out names.
Physical real life town names are also not accepted. Names like Andoria, Marshon, etc etc would be acceptable. Fantasy type names :P
Skills
Skills will also have a large impact on the game now as well. Before you just trained your skill, dropped off items to help your guild, and leveled up the guild as you leveled then built your guild buildings that you could. BORING
How would you like to work as a Horseshoe outfitter and make money from it, or work on a skill called Repairing and have others come to you to do repairs instead of some random NPC?
This idea will put the members in full control of their town. Awesome huh? Well read on then.
Things to come
Links to different sections so it's not all cluttered
Level 5–10 of the town
Added NPC detail
Guilds
Instead of adding Guilds into the game for people to join and they just mindlessly build it up as they level the guild up here is an alternative. The new guild additions won't be your typically thought guild at all. These guilds will have quests for you to do and advance in ranks in them.
Different Guild Types
Fighters Guild
Alchemists Guild
Blacksmiths Guild
Repairers Guild
Armorers Guild
Farmers Guild

Repairing Skill
What can I say about this skill that would give it any type of Con to all the Pros that it has? Nothing that I know of.
How it works
At level 1 you can do repairs on Bronze Daggers, Hatchets, and Pickaxes. So go dust them off do a bit of work then come back and do some repairs.
At level 1 you would be able to repair 1 Durability on the item each time the counter goes down. Here is an example.
Bronze Pickaxe: Durability 10/200, 4/4 Uh oh your pick is gonna break soon better get that taken care of. Once you have your own repair shop in your town you can begin doing repairs. You go into your shop and choose the repair option. Choose the bronze pickaxe in your inventory and it will move it to the working screen and show the durability of the item. 60 seconds base timer to repair at level 1 for bronze and can go down to 15 second timers at level 45 Repairing. items may or may not be added to decrease the time more, but 15 seconds is your minimum timers no matter what.
Level 1 Repairing 0 exp. Need 500 for next level. Each Repair on a Bronze Pick, Hatchet, or dagger gives you 10 exp. So you repair your Bronze Pickaxe 50 times at 2 durability each repair (this will go up as your levels increase of course) Congratulations you are now level 2. Timer has been dropped to 59 seconds to repair and you can now repair 3 durability each time the timer goes down. Your pickaxe is now at Durability 110/200. Ready to finish it? 30 repair attempts at 3 durability each attempt will give you the 90 Durability that you are needed to finish off your Pick.
Now we will go on to explain what the 4/4 Means
If you could always repair items yourself so that they would never break then there would be no need for excessive items and such in the game am I correct? Smithers would be out of a job, we would go into recession, and the stock markets would crash. Would be horrible. That is where the Max Repair Durability comes into effect.
The highlighted 4 in this sequence 4/4 Is the maximum times that an item can be repaired to full capacity. So a Bronze Pickaxe has 200 max durability on it. So what this would end up being is that the item can be repaired up to 800 points before Finally breaking and being unusable. This makes it to where you don't have to rebuy a pick every time but at the same time you also won't be able to keep the item forever keeping the smithers and such from going out of business :) So you repaired your Pick for 190 points. Now your number will look like this. Bronze Pickaxe 200/200 2.1/4 The 2.1 stands for how many more times you can repair durability before it breaks. So you now have 210 more durability points to repair the item. So your best bet would be to get it down to 10/200 again, repair it and have .2/4 Max Repairs left. Then sell that sucker to an npc for discounted price, get it outta the game and buy a new one :P
Repairing will not be effective for someone to pay another person to do for them for bronze items. The cost of repairs would far exceed the cost of just buying a new one. But where does the repairer start at? That is why the repairing of bronze items is in place. They repair the items free at no cost if they do it for themselves and get the levels. Higher level items will require thousands of gp (or other monetary units) to buy the item even from a player. So the repair skill will most definitly be worth the cost then.
Say there is a special quest sword in the game that you can never get again that freaking owns. It has 100/15000 20/20 durability Has an attack of +40 and has other cool features. Would you really want that bad boy to break right away when the best sword for your level is a Mithril longsword that adds +20 attack? Heck no you wouldn't. Take that bad boy to an npc or player character and have them repair it for ya. :)
