    I would argue that the lack of WBB is driven by two things:

    1. Occlo new player has moved the center of gravity to a different town

    2. IRC + these forums facilitating market liquidity better than standing and spamming at WBB.

    If what you imply was true - that folks are not AFK'ing in public due to fear of town killing - the number of folks AFK'ing in public at Occlo would seem to refute that.

    Agree on #1. But on #2, it's usually just [young] players congregated there, who are immune to the shenanigans. (at least in my prior experience. Cue someone taking a screenshot with a ton of non-youngs there)

    Most of the vets are idling in their houses. Hell, even if you aren't AFK, I still wouldn't recommend doing your banking in Occlo. I've always got at least one thief humping my leg anytime I set foot there.

    Onee thief got themself a nice painting from my backpack a couple of days back at the Ocllo bank. :)
    I hope he/she have a house with a free wall to put it at. ;)

    When the Young period is over, it is really time to get another bank elsewhere. Ocllo bank is completely nuts and I can't figure out why so many just hang there or banksit at all? Banksitters have done that for 20 years now, hanging at the banks but I still do not understand why?

    I leave normally at least one of my toons at Occlo Bank (of course there is nothing worth to steal in the backpack). It's where the action is and I always liked that sound of horses running, people training some bard or crafter skill etc.. From time to time I lean back and just watch all those (more or less) busy people doing their business. And I enjoy "listening" to people talking to each other (although it's kind of sad that this happens most of the time only between young players who have not discovered IRC yet).

    I just kinda miss chatting with people at banks. Seeing them empty all the time sucks.

    Wel maybe it is an oportunity to give them a hint about IRC when you see it then?? ;)

    Well you do have a point there. My latest char sits in the Bard guild rigt now, since yesterday, hitting a tamborine. She could really have done that at the bank really.
    Ooops. GM Music already?

    Also, I'm surprised no one made this explicit: how? Because @snap dragon.
