Best Posts in Thread: Default New Towns to Closed

I was initially going to file this as a report, but decided that there's nothing to be gained by just trying to get a player reprimanded. Instead I am thinking this could make a good server improvement to get rid of some bad behavior.

I started a new town today and someone immediately teleported to my spawn, disguised as a pig, and as soon as I went into an adjacent cell to claim it, they killed me.

I talked to a mod in game about it, and he was very helpful. I figured out who it was who killed me and talked to them about it. I was kinda ticked off, but the culprit admitted that they do it to loot the new mayors. The player was pretty flippant about it. I understand that the wild in Towny is free game for PvP - and I have no issue with that; although I have found that it's abused now and then along town borders.

My suggestion is to default new towns to be closed. This way no one can teleport there until the mayor chooses to allow it. In my opinion, this type of behavior is not what Meep should be actively promoting.
