A lack of residential building (problem)

Recently me and my friend talked about how many cities across the map have a serious lack of residential buildings.
most cities are fine and have a good amount of them but today I would like to talk about the cities without them.
First of we have Gelibord excluding the outskirts the city center has only 1 house.
Second of which we have Thanos which is supposed to be a major dwarven city even having its own king but still does not have ANY residential buildings.
Third of all we have our most major offender, Ahmsord which again is supposed to be one of the biggest cities in gavel and the hub of all of the sky islands, Ahmsord has only a few houses while a city of the same size like Thesead or Rodoroc has many.
In conclusion the serious lack of residential houses in these cities hurts the immersion because we are supposed to believe this is a vibrant world with people in it, cities like the one I mentioned above make it very hard to pretend any people are actually living in them.

Lastly I wanted to mention some cities which have the same problems but to a more limited degree: Troms, Olux, Lutho, selchar (which is not really a city lets stop pretending it is).

I did not bring up nessak in this post even thought it has a big problem because of an upcoming rework that will hopefully fix it all.

 

if they want houses they should just pull themselves up by the bootstraps and get a job and stop drinking caramel frappucino lattes

 

There are no buildings because there are no citizens, they all have been killed by endgame players testing their builds

 

Obviously there are no houses because everyone lives on their island duh

 

1. Ahmsord is more of a town center, theres plenty of homes around sky islands where people live
2. Most buildings with npcs such as iders and blacksmiths in gelibord have homes above them, also we can consider these houses in lore as actaul houses.
3. Most people in the decay are probably homeless
4. Lutho citizens dont really need homes, The obelisk protects.

 

My imagination on this is that most games do not have terrain and settlements to scale, so not all houses will be on the map

 

Wynn ct has confirmed the in game map is 4 times smaller than it in lore, and the ocean is like 10 times or even more, and theres tons of islands in lore that we never see on map.

 

I've heard this alot, but I've never actually seen a GM state it. Have a qoute? I'm not doubting you, just kinda interested in what the orginal qoute actually is.

 

Same as you, just heard it a lot.

 

Now, the real problem is: why are there mountains around areas?

 

The merchants simply live in their stalls

Okay, in Ahmsord's defense, it WAS originally a Skyraider base.

 

Time for them to rebuild the map to scale
/j
although it would be cool to see, lets just put this on hold for like an update when everything else has been fixed and works as intended

 

Yea would be cool, like tbh wynn's map has a really small scale compared to other servers, dunno why. probably so its easier to travel around.

 

all things considered i dont think we do that bad compared to many other video game towns

Who needs homes when you can be testing dummy for players 24/7
