Town Citizens |
About 40 minutes ago, I suddenly got this message:
It appears that the first mayors were chosen today. A basic overview for those who need a recap. With Episode 12, you can now join a new town. Joining this town costs level * level * 10. Every Lineage month (5 real days - Lineage time is 6X) a mayor is chosen. The mayor is the person who hunts the most in your town. The mayor gets to set a tax rate (we're not sure exactly what this means -- what does the castle prince do then?) and citizens of the town get paid based on how much they hunt. Citizens also teleport home to their town, instead of the closest town.
So, I got that message (just my luck that I pick the town with the fastest leveller on the server) and I went to the Werldern town NPC to see how much my payment was, even though it wasn't a full week. My level 48 mage had hunted 1% since the update. This translated into 16 adena. HERC's share was 138 adena.
I guess that's not bad for 90 minutes of work (yes, I'm slow). Actually, I take that back, that IS bad for 90 minutes of work!
Anyway, HERC was nice enough to show us the "mayor's view" of the NPCs. In the screenshot on the right, you see his balance sheet. You see how much money to town generated and then a mysterious "Total income until now". HERC collected 384a for being mayor from this NPC as well.
On this screenshot, HERC is given the opportunity to choose the tax rate (he ended up picking 0). Notice the lack of instructions or explanation. HERC and I were both confused - we're sure all mayors are.
This could present an interesting decision for mayors -- if they raise taxes, then citizens get paid more, but everyone has to pay more for potions. If they lower taxes, citizens get paid less, but potions are their normal price. And how much does the tax set by the prince impact these things? We'll work on getting answers from NC.
I had registered for Werldern earlier today and gained about 1% at level 48 hunting FV mops that day and my take was 16 adena. |
