Town recognition is available to all facets.

Activity. This may take any of several forms, such as: frequent meetings, events, hunts, or residents who are frequently in the town and available to interact with visitors.
History. Your town must be at least three months old. Ideally, there should be an archive of town records either in game or outside of the game.
Communication. Visitors to your town should have a way to learn about its history and upcoming events. They should also be able to communicate with the inhabitants. This can take place wholly in game, such as with books, barkeeps, a mailbox, and/or a message board, or it can be on a website.
