But there aren't even 100 players total on the server in a given day. Most towns do not have 500+ houses.I consider each character in a faction as a hundred people. That's so it sounds plausible in IC to say 'My army is a thousand men strong.' instead of saying 'My army is ten people strong.'

This number makes zero sense.
Then is it fair to say if a faction is going to pull 10 times the number of players extant on the server as imaginary soldiers...You miss the point. I'm not rolling with the fact that the player characters are the only people in this world, else it'd be an extremely lonely world populated by 50~ individuals. Those thousand men aren't going to be appearing anywhere or helping in battle, only the PCs will. It's just for flair and for muh immersion.
They don't make immersive sense if you are creating 100 people that /literally don't even have a place to live/, they are a break in logic entirely is what I am stating.holy shit, nael. I said twice that those numbers are just for immersion. They aren't going to be helping in battle. They aren't going to be fighting or guarding or scouting or doing anything. They are for immersion. It's not going to matter in a fight or anywhere.
Nah, I'm saying that if you want to assume that there are 100 NPCs for every PC in your town, you had best be prepared to back that up in your build design and create, for every PC home, ~20ish houses that are permanently reserved for NPC use at the bare minimum.Alright, I get you. And it also breaks immersion if armies are considered to be comprised just of player characters. Or that this world is populated by under a hundred people. Or that a town or a country is populated by 20 something people. Because ain't that immersion breaking.
i was just curious of people's thoughts and trying to promote healthy discussion pls take to pms
Would make sense for Renatus given that I'm the only player who still lives there xDI have not, at any point in this thread, argued that people cannot have NPCs, I have argued specifically that 100/PC is not currently logical or sensible for any single town on the server because none are even built to house that many people.
But do u /have/ slums?Hah. As if I'd be so gracious as to provide that many homes to the vile peasantry. To hell with them, I say. Let them reside in the slums where they belong, eh? Feed them slop like the dogs they are. Hahah. Dull creatures.
Why, yes. I'd have to keep your chambers somewhere, now wouldn't I? Hahah. That is my policy at Frostwood. A room for every guest! I may not be a gracious ruler, but I am certainly a gracious host. Huzzah!But do u /have/ slums?
Aside: This is another argument in favor of a capital city, as it gives a place for all this populace to come from.
