Posted August 12, 2022 (edited) Just hoping for something to make the world feel a bit more alive, how about NPCs that travel the Highway system? Some ideas for features below. NPCs will traverse the Highway system (and a 5 tile radius of the Highway) visiting features players have built, they will spend an hour at a location then randomly select another to visit, features on deed they may visit include. A fountain A Market Stall A Bench Unlocked buildings with permissions allowing NPCs to visit. NPCs will make conversation about their travels when spoken to, these could include: Have you seen the Fountain at <Deed Name Here>? I've heard its fantastic! I've just visited the <Building Name Here> at <Deed Name Here> Impressive I'm Travelling to Market Stall at <Deed Name Here> Is this the right direction? Different Types of NPCs Including Mounted Knights Civilians in various clothing Members of each In-Game Faith. Cartographers NPCs can enter combat with monsters while travelling. Their success will depend on how strong the type of NPC is They can summon guards if in range of a tower. Their Agro range is significantly reduced compared to players. Players who do not wish to welcome NPCs may disable their ability to visit on their settlement token, they may pass through but will not target your deed as a destination. Buildings will also have an option in their permissions to allow NPCs to visit. I don't really know what bullet points to make for this just addressing any privacy concerns people may have.

Posted August 12, 2022 Been a few threads on NPC's and I agree we should have more of them. I said in another thread we could have some sort of trader or salesman travelling around the map to different deeds with various things to offer for a price. It would certainly make it look more active on the map, I hope it happens someday. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 12, 2022 Adding bandits after dark would be cool. Have like a random loot pool such as coins, random armor with enchants, weapons etc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 13, 2022 I'd love this, especially if you could buy 1 per account that spawns on your deed when it dies similar to how a merchant has a fixed location Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) An NPC herald that follows the king player(s) around to announce their arrival. They cannot turn this off 😈 Edited August 13, 2022 by Karrde 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) One time in Wurm; a beautiful npc stood alone in a lake. I had to go to her. I must go see for myself. To make a short story of it. I was not ready for her. Edited August 16, 2022 by Dunder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
