Title: What the northern towns are REALLY LIKE...
Post by: Josh on July 18, 2011, 05:12:39 am
For a while I have been debating a move to the nothern towns to escape nonpunishable stealing, however the wildly differing posts regarding these semi-mythical lands are varied and I am curious as to how it really is.

I've seen up north become a complete Hellhole but I've also seen the same happen to the southern areas. There's really no "asshole-free" wasteland. ;)

I voted for the last option.

There's only a small chance a random asshole will show up, you only get PK's if there are players, and PK's get bored if no one is around.

If you will find a group to hang out with in Klamath or any other northern city you will be cool. You won't have to bother with thieves because no one bothers with stealing when they can shoot instantly.

Weird poll options.

The nature of the town depends on its conquerors. And even if so called antipks control it they might mistake you from enemy or some pk might show up when the faction members aren't present.

Last one.
If you are lucky enough, you won't meet anyone while wandering on North. Especially with current players count ~200 in peak. Random bored FPS players can be met anywhere, but you can have fun without being disturbed by AI guards.

no theifs, no suicide bomers, the ocazional PKs and rest some TC, but ocazionaly

better life there, my best advice, if you know how to avoid PKs, you will life foreverly ever after,

hell if C88, TTTLA, TSAR or other nice faction will be there on patrool, you can make some new friends

These days most northern cities are controlled by friendly factions. Check pip-boy before you enter and introduce yourself ingame.

new reno is gay cause you can walk about 10 steps then your dead sometimes.... other wise the rest aint to bad lol with the friendly factions and all dont  go into a town being taken they'll kick your ass but they usually give your stuff back after its taken.

If you're in a PK faction like me i'd suggest avoiding those towns unless you have some buddies with you in case Anti-PK decides to try and fuck your shit up.

Otherwise you'll be pretty safe if a friendly faction has control.

Boring ghost towns on south with good trades and militia guarding north cities makes game action too boring.
it looks like "glamorous wasteland" instead hard and interesting life...
We can see New Reno without any militia or town guards and there are a lot action there.

This bullshit about militia again? I don't see any militia in Modoc or Klamath, nor at Redding, Gecko and BH mines, and yet, not much action happen there.
There are not enough players to fill all towns, that's all. So everyone just meet at Reno to slaughter each other.

I beared in mind that there are a lot guarding cities in wasteland now with good and rich trades.
Players can play in game without any fighting etc.
First of all in New Reno we can see good trades (drugs, weapons, cars) and people coming there (of course for fight too).
But we have nothing to find in Modoc or Klamath for example.

It is not cycle economy so Players living alone in their small zones of wasteland. It is REALLY NOTHING TO DO in another cities.

(Of course for 500+ online that's can work but it is deplorably to see 3-4 bluesuits near grids in 5+ guarding cities and 2-3 guys staying from the back of militia...)
(it's a way for small action and safe life like in majority mmorpg games...)

As for me its apparently

(and no bullshits about militia...it is not a main idea...)

Since we're on the topic of northern towns: is it 'safe'/'allowed' by the inhabitants (PC's) to buy detonators there?

/Edit: Redding is meant in this question ofcourse...

If you don't meet bored PvP-ape with militia's/merc's backup - why not? AFAIR these parts are quite cheap, so grab few caps, go and check. Not much to loose, isn't it?

10 caps each, but they are inexplicably heavy.

You're right Wichura, it was worth a try.
And you're right too spears, so heavy... never expected that ;) That'll teach me to do some background research.
