So I'm sitting around trying to think up a new character. I want to play an elf conjurer. I've got some ideas of how I want my character to act and I just need to pick a good home town to write up a nice story to explain why I act this way. The only way I can do this is to open up telnet, roll a junk character, and see which hometowns are available. The hometown help file suggests that Akan is for good and neutral only, but how am I to know that my elf conjurer could not live there without rolling one up?

Obviously, the town could be full, and there's no way of knowing that without rolling, but it would be really nice to be able to see what all the choices available are.

Would it be possible for information regarding which hometowns are available for which race/class/align combinations? It doesn't have to be neat, I'd be more than happy to volunteer some time to organize the data into something easily viewable.

Even if this information was made easily available for well known hometowns: Galadon, Hamsah, Arkham, Udgaard, Akan, Voralian, Tir Talath, Seantrynn. It would be a blessing.

Thanks in advance for any comments positive or negative.

Can I get an official response on this? I'm perfectly willing to accept that it'd take too long for one of you to do. I'm also willing to accept that it might hurt game balance to publish a list of hometowns that the drow conjie in Scion would be allowed to choose.

If the answer is negative, would you mind if I got the information myself the hard way and published it?

Any response is helpful and appreciated.

Thanks,
Rade

1) What hometowns you can choose is subject to town populations. These change from time to time, and any options we posted would become inaccurate as player preferences shifted.

2) Since it's subject to race, alignment, and class, the chart can get messy. Also, we touch it up from time to time and it would be one more thing to keep current.

3) If you're curious if a given character can choose a given hometown, you can check in about 20 seconds. The main use of such a list would be people looking it up so they know where to kill you after you recall.

Agreed.

Yeah, that would suck.

Yes, but if I want to play an elf from Voralian, I'm SOL for figuring out which classes I can choose.

According to 3, they could find this out in about 20 seconds anyways.

--------------------------

Anyways, thanks for the response. I'll let it drop now.

Roll up an elf conjie by a different name, that I plan to delete immediately. See where I get to live. Delete delete.

Conversely, I want to play an elf from Tir Talath. What guilds do I get to choose from?
