Here’s a player housing pro-tip that is useful when striking up a settlement in a risky location: Make a door. A big door. A big door with a lock and that little robot gatekeeper from Return of the Jedi who was rude to C3P0. Because if you don’t, you’re going to find that the locals are going to solicit every chance they get.
“Being alone at night on Talus in Star Wars Galaxies Legends is peaceful,” said Toy Clown. “Being alone to find you have a visitor when you step out of the house isn’t!”

Ryuen began with this Douglas Adams quote: “‘Space is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is.

“Archet is small and Lord of the Rings Online is old,” Minimalistway noted, “Still I find this game can be beautiful. “In this screenshot is a Hobbit hunter starting his big adventure.”
Lucky Jinx took me up on last week’s screenshot challenge to show a “lonely” setting, saying, “Netherstorm in World of Warcraft has always had that depressing feeling of loneliness. Hated questing there, hated going back for this shot, but it was something I instantly thought of when I read the weekly challenge.”
