World Change "citizen" To "resident"

This is a pretty small request, and it probably won't matter in the grand scheme of things, but I was always bothered by the fact that all of the cities have "citizens". Citizenship is a concept that was created relatively recently to be able to more easily see who should be considered part of a country to properly distribute rights (like the right to vote). Because this system did not exist and had no use in medevial times, the setting of Wynncraft, it makes no sense to call the npc's citizens. In addition, cities themselves do not generally have separate citizenship systems, usually it's by country and sometimes state/province. I therefore suggest that all citizens be renamed to "residents", such as "Detlas resident" or "maltic resident", since it's more accurate and does not introduce an unexpectedly modern concept in an otherwise medevial world.

 

Actually, given the unknown nature of Wynn's political structure, it's entirely possible each city is fairly independent; it actually seems that way from some quests such as Wynnexcavation Site D. The concept of citizenship has also existed for thousands of years, so it would make sense for it to exist in Wynn, especially given the rather odd level of modernization that can be seen.

 

I mean Corkus is industrialized though so it can definitely use citizens.

 

That makes sense… it just seemed a bit off considering the medieval setting of Wynncraft.

 

isn't the entire premise of the passage quest becoming a troms citizen to get the right to use the passage

 

It's a medieval fantasy, but has a lot of modern devices in it like robots (even we can't build robots like that!), the gallows in the headless hunt, the machinery in Wynncraft sites and basically every automatic door. It's got a lot of medieval aspects but because it's a fantasy they can bend the rules a bit
