zento Hub is back

I debated a long time on whether to make it public and decided to make it friends only for the time being. It should go without saying as to why :) I will for the time being and until it becomes a problem leave the runes on the tiles. A gate will give you a few seconds to hide or leave the area if a PK is inbound. I will friend pretty much anyone to the Hub house. Would not mind a couple of other trusted folks like Doc, Kelmo, Victim Etc to be co owned to the house so they can add friends to it when I am not around in game.

The previous hub was getting a lot of use by newer Siege players to train up skills and build up some cash reserves. I apologize for closing the the hub, but while I was closing accounts and reorganizing houses that was the best option. The Wolf House, The Fire Island House, The Ant Hole, The Orc Mine, The Ants North of Vesper and the Wind Maze house are still there or have been replaced and were the most active houses. The rest of the tiles atm the moment pretty much go my houses on various islands. I will be dropping some of those over the next week or two and placing new houses in those out of the way training and resource locations.

This hub has a few rules and tips.
#1. If you use it to AFK Macro, Script, or Cheat in any way you will be removed from the house Friends. Note I also kill resource scripters and AFKs on sight :)

#2. If you use it to PK in or around my houses, you will be removed. Consensual PvP is fine.

#3. If you are in a guild that actively PKs and Loots Don't even ask to be friended to the hub.

#4. If you use the hub to steal from people training around the houses, yep unfriended.

#5. If you can gate please do so from the tile runes, saves on Gate scrolls :)

#6. Be a good sport and drop some gate scrolls on the tiles you use now and then.

#7. The Wolf House has a anyone comod box, throw some deeds in it now and then if you use them, toss a few in now and then for the next person. It also has a public seed box feel free to take seeds or leave seeds. The wolf house is a great place to farm flax seeds, leather and relic frags for tamers, archers, mages and mystics. Not so hot for melee and lower level character that don't have GDs, or high end arch or magic skills. The Wolves are vulnerable to Demon Slayers. To the North of the Wolf House is a good place to put a ship in the water as the sea to the North and West are filled with merchant Ships and Pirates. If you are training a CU, park a boat next to yamadon point to the NW and provo the yamadon on the CU to train the dogs healing up those last points, yamadon poison is nasty stuff :)

#8. I will add more public items like a davies locker, crystal portals, comod boxes as I buy or claim vet rewards. I will also place a rune for the ship I keep parked at the floating sea market, don't forget to take a row boat or small ship along to go on into the port :)

#9. The new Vesper Ant House is in a different location than the old one. The Ants are straight down from the house. This house has a water trough and is linked with a tile to the Ant hole house for easy powder of translocation running. The Wind Maze house also has ants but is not linked to the Ant Hole House at this time.

#10. The Orc Mine House has a new neighbor and not a name I know. So use some caution but hey this is Siege so always use caution ;) Wear a mask of orcish kin imbued with Luck and the orc mine away. The Orc Mine is also a considered a dungeon for saltpeter purposes. I suggest taking a Bag of Sending as the ignots and saltpeter add up pretty fast down there and it is a long walk out to gate or tile back for a bank run. Lumber jacking, and low-mid level melee training abound outside the mine. There are usually a couple of dark wisp lurking about and there are always several red and blue healers in the general area.

#11. If you meet someone else at one of the houses in particular the wolf house, make a new friend and work together. Things like farming the wolves is easier with 2 as they pretty much instant respawn and it is easy to get overwhelmed there.

#12. The Wind Maze house is a multi use house with mining all around, a few seconds from the wind city entrance, and black ants. Wind counts as a dungeon for mining Saltpeter and there is a lot of GZ mining down there. Wind also has a nice array of critters Daemons, Liches, Dragons, Greater Dragons, and the Garden area of wind has Nightmares, elementals and Krakens and some gargoyles. And as a added bonus a bank fairly close and central to everything.

#13. The Fire island house sits right beside a overland ant hole, with mining to the NW and the Temple to the SW.

#14. Ocrina Island AKA Port Tyr is my main island, there is not much there besides the bulk of my houses, lumber jacking and Fishing. Ameoba Island is my original Siege house and is also mainly Lumber Jacking and Fishing.

Found a set of Tele Tiles I missed and the Wind Maze (Pigeon Chit Heights) house is now linked to the Ant Hole House, for those that would rather hunt maze ants. Also put public Dye Tubs and Crystal portals at the hub house. Should have some vet rewards coming up soon and will add a public Davies then :)

Hope to have my vendor back up next week. LOL building 6 new houses taps you out of cash fast on Siege, as can be witnessed by my running out of funds with the Orc Mine house. It ain't much of a house atm.

Would you have room for a tele to Safe Haven Hub and Crafting Center? It's a nice hangout for young players, with tele to New Mag if attacked and healers in Guard Tower in front. House is public and free for all to use no matter of color. I hope our more evil users of the house and their enemies will respect Safe Havens no killing and stealing zone around public houses and shops.
I will bring the tele

My cats will warn against stealthers :)

To answer the question as to whether I am discriminating against certain individuals and guilds by not friending them to the Hub...... Yes I most certainly am :) Many of my houses are geared toward training, resource gathering, and PvM location that are a long run from the beaten path. I have always made most of my houses public with a few exceptions like my island keep and encouraged new and existing siege players to use them. What I am not going to provide is easy access for PKs to slaughter people trying to farm and train. I have nothing against PvP, I am not real fond of PK dry looters though. Killing and dry looting the most vulnerable players is NOT conducive to a healthy Siege population. It is nothing for me to replace a suit within a minute of losing a suit. For the person new or not established on Siege it can be a Siege ending event. It is for the new person to Siege very frustrating to spend all of their gold on replacement suits as most are not rolling their prodo gold into Siege gold. Heck I would not turn prodo gold into Siege gold at the exchange rates, gold is to easy to amass on Siege just by farming the right critters and resources. I simply try to offer the opportunity for folks to farm and train in relative peace where they can build skills, rake in gold in overland areas where they can't get hemmed into tight dungeons with little to no hope of escape.

I am not in league with any guilds other than my own two guilds ZOOG and PERV ZOOG are my upstanding and honorable characters. PERV are my RP Thieves, VVV, and bad guys. If Old Uncle Perv PKs you or Tyreth steals from you the most you will lose is your boots or a scissors, and if that is your only pair of boots or scissors I will give them back :) For me it is about fun for all of us, not about ruining your day and making you suffer. Call me a throw back to one of the old guilds I was in way back when..... that did RP PK and thieving :) I try to get along with everyone but occasionally people with Zero integrity or honor show up and get their jollies by making everyone else miserable, In those cases I always side with the honorable folks. In this case yes GIL and the honorable PvPrs.

My houses, my tiles, my rules and there is nothing harsh or hard about the rules. The person that complained that I won't give them access is not someone that I believe would follow the rules. My suggestion is build the network, buy the tele tiles, and pay for enough accounts or have enough friends of like mind and build your own hub network :)

Going to build about 20 basic sets of 70s LRC and Dex suits and put them in some chest in the HUB if you get PKd and dry looted just ask one of the hub house co owners to grab you a suit. If you want to make a donation for a suit just drop some gold on one of the piles I will put beside the suit chest or drop gate scrolls on the tiles you use.

No problem Freja I put your tile outside, Going to move some of my tiles inside that go to the island houses. And Hopefully connect the Zento hub with other folks hubs and unique locations. Cough Kelmo's Abyss House :) One of the New Magincia houses CharGar? Would eventually like to have a tile going to a house close to every VVV town. More tele tiles are not in my budget for the next couple of months though, I just dropped $7500 on a New transmission and Turbo for my truck and my wife gives me the evil eye everytime I mention buying a can of soda atm :)

And this will be my final house relocation, a house by one of the remote malas mining caves. I had a house here for many years and have taken more miners to GM and Black Smiths to 120 at this location than I care to think about LOL. Need to spend a hour or two farming gold to take it to more than a dirt plot so bear with me :) The cave is BIG and another to the East with wall mining all around. Will put a anvil, forge and a couple of public boxes there soon.

Ok I lied one more house added to the network or will be shortly. Found a account with no Siege house on it :) So now there is a Zento Hub Network house right outside the painted caves for those that like to train and farm there. Going to require that folks that want to use that house be friended to it though as the caves have long been a place that PKs check. At least you will have a shot at making it to a safe house if you need to.
