Post your starting town when UWO relaunch.

Idsadar · October 2017

I whould like to make an idea of which is the prefered town for the players when the server relaunch.And which one is the best to start or if there are any advantage to start in one or another.I m shure the exp players can give me a hint on this.

Idsadar · October 2017

Like allways i m planning to start in London...no specific reason,i allways start from there :)

aceman39 · October 2017

I might start in Seville to start

crazyhunter2003 · October 2017

advantage to starting London or Amsterdam is early access to Oxford.you can start Oxford at 5/5/5.with all the other start nations you have to gain the port permits first(usually means finishing 1 intermediate school)

Marseille gives earliest access to Tunis for disguise clothes & SB skill

Venice gives earliest access to Syracuse

Idsadar · October 2017

Aha...i have seen that even before closing Seville had the most players.And i know that Sev will be prefered again by the most players.

aceman39 · October 2017

Well with Seville it is a middle point when grinding sewing unless you have a better starting point for sewing?

AdelinaKaz · October 2017

In Seville, more people, because there is the closest thing in any direction. I will start from the city where our old company will be located (I hope they will take me back)

jasonpwns · October 2017

Dutch

AtemsUWO · October 2017

Still undecided at the moment.

pieratthe · October 2017

English for me prolly. Access to oxford will be important to me. but once established i'll go ottoman :D

InfamousKilla · October 2017

Think I will start as Venetian. I figure it will be the least chosen nation, which means I can attack the most players without losing any fame. At least until I can defect to Ottoman.

pieratthe · October 2017

I wonder they are resetting the ability to talk to people of another nation. Not sure if many remember but if i was english toon with english only, and u are a spanish toon with spanish only, we can't trade, i don't even think we can fleet. That was so long ago, i don't remember the particulars. Anyone else know what i'm talking about?

seapiratedeluxe · October 2017

I have to go with the French, Last time around it was france and venice with the lowest population but i dont think it was as bad as it seemed . Just alot more hardcore multis(goldsellers) made it seem like it was very outnumbered by london or seville. The actual amount of activly investing players was somewhat fair in terms of dedication to your nation.

If you plant the seed and teach your new players about trade and the value of investing you will be a sucess as a nation no matter which is chosen! If they dont ruin national pride again in the cash shop we are all in for a great time... MONEYWARS

noobness · October 2017

Undecided but either French or Venetian. Leaning more towards French I have yet to do the story for that nation.

Laviol · October 2017

I will start venetian

@pieratthe
You will be learning body language with your trade/adv/maritime learner job. So that shouldnt be an issue.
Hope they dont reset that cause yes.. that was a huge issue before.

Gilligan8567 · October 2017

Dutch for me

pieratthe · October 2017

you misunderstanding, not talking about talking with npcs. i'm refering to talking amongst players. Yes we all type in english, so we can read what each other says, but it my toon only speaks spanish and ur only english, we couldn't even request fleet, or request trade with each other. Had to find who spoke both languages and fleet them so me and you could trade. mite have been beta only, been a LONG time ago

aceman39 · October 2017

I remember that in the NM days

crazyhunter2003 · October 2017

afaik that has never been changed

lefox271 · October 2017

It'll be London for me. Not a tactical choice. More of a role-play like decision.

FlorianGeyer · October 2017

You'll find me in London (maritime) and Amsterdam (trade) sewing.

Idsadar · October 2017

Florian..you are gonna build a comp in London?

Airhaun · October 2017

Amsterdam:

Father immigrated from Holland to US in 60's so I'm 50% Dutch. Always wanted to visit the "Motherland" in RL but haven't had a chance yet. Might as well claim it as my home in a MMORPG. Hah!

BTW Question: Is it a good or bad idea if I started my alt in a different nation? Before I had Amsterdam & Lisbon. Advantages/Disadvantages to this?

shelleyl · October 2017

Well, Portugal gets India with less fame required when following the storyline but takes more to get Carrib.

In rebuilding mode, this is something to take into account

crash941 · October 2017

london for me and a alt in seville

lefox271 · October 2017

@Airhaun

I was contemplating the same problem. It thought I might start my Alt in Amsterdam this time.

Just before the servers closed I'd started a new Alt in Amsterdam just 'cos I needed the investment reward in Groningen. There are advantages to a caster if you are Dutch.

But I've kind of decided they'll both be England again. Like I said in my post above it's a role play choice not a tactical one. I'm gonna play to enjoy, not to win.

seapiratedeluxe · October 2017

Airhaun: there is definatly benefits to using alts of other nation, specifically spain is good for crafting cannon but only SUPER effective if your a spainish sailor or have defected to spain at some point in the past and invested in that port.(barcelona in this case if memory serves me). There are other examples too.

Defecting temporarily is more advanced aspect of the game but its benefits are huge!

pieratthe · October 2017

Well here's the deal. They've not said anything about whether we can run alts or not. If alts are allowed or imo more than 2 per ip (i think some families should be vetted to make sure then more then 2 would be fine as long as proof provided) Cause i've been doing lots of thinking on it, and just can't possibly be a pirate AND do some adv and trade. U'd end up doing 1-2 types of adv skills and maybe 1-2 trades. I think 2 would suffice. That would easily leave some room for fleeting. and we would be able to make our chars the way we want, me for example i can do all battle/adv on pie and then make me a trader/crafter alt. Just depends on what they say. As far as which nation u just gotta pick ur poison. like for crafting English is prolly the best cause of access to so many wares and ores, where as spanish is better for cannon production cause barcelona has most of the mats except bronze. For most non crafters English i think would be best start just cause of simple access to oxford

aceman39 · October 2017

What would be a good starting place for a tailor?

Gilligan8567 · October 2017

I like the Dutch/English starting area for sewing - Helder has chickens and sheep, Edinburgh has wool/sheep, Bergen has sheep, Oslo has wool and Visby has sheep as well. rather easy to make a route and level sewing pretty quickly imo.

aceman39 · October 2017

I never thought of that and if I need a book that needs investing in a place I can't I will ask a comp mate to do it for me and give them the ducats for it

Post your starting town when UWO relaunch.
