Hello Ol'Westerners! It's time for another update. But first, I wanted to get everyone's feedback and opinions on this before we continue. The reason for this is so that everything is balanced and everything that should be included is included.

I am working very hard on re-leveling the top left portion of the map so that it's covered in grass and trees. The reason for doing so is because I thought "Hey, in the west it wasn't all desert, was it? I know there's grass somewhere!". Now because we're putting in grass and rivers, that opens up a whole new range of skill and job possibilities!

We plan to release 4 new skills, and many more, in the new future. Two skills that will be released alongside this grassy map expansion are Woodcutting and Firemaking. Fishing and Cooking will be released shortly after this initial release, as well as other skills. There will be several types of trees scattering the grassy areas which can be cut and used to level up, similar to mining. Each tree will require a different level and will reward you different amounts of EXP. Same for Firemaking, there are different types of fires you'll be able to make depending on which logs you use. Possibly after the fire is lit for a certain amount of time, it will disappear and ashes will be left in it's place and can be used to craft something later on? Do we use Flint & Steel to light to fires? Let us know what you think will work best!

Aside from skills, we plan to release a reward system for gang activities. The reward will be "Gang Points", or possibly another name used for it. These points can be gained into a central bank which the leader has access to. The points are rewarded per-hour for each hour you hold a base, or possibly several at once for other gang activities which can be made in the future. These points will be used in the "Gang Shop" (Also need a new name for this). We have yet to determine what items can be purchased or redeemed in the shop.

Now that you all have the details, get creative! We need a new name for the grassy village, and new names for the points which you receive and for the shop. I'm also curious how you guys think Firemaking should work, as well as Woodcutting! In addition to that, any other skills that you all think should be added, elaborate on it, though it's best to focus mainly on Firemaking and Woodcutting to start off with so that we can add these in and release the new grassy map as soon as possible!

We also need ideas on what should be included in the new town, which is the main purpose for this thread. So please, give any and all ideas so that we include everything in the new town which should be there

Thank you everybody
