There are only going to be 8 spawn towns?

 

Nope, there is 24, 8 directly connected to spawn, and the 16 connected to them.

And no, only the 4 towns that are on the sides will have direct access to spawn, the other 20 are just extremely close

 

5x5 region=25 towns -spawn= 24

 

How much are they estimated to go for?

 

Is there going to be an auction or are we going to be able like to claim them?

 

Auctions I've heard.

 

It is going to be auction for every town directly "circling" spawn, or bare minimum the towns with entrances to spawn. Everything else I'm assuming is up for claim...

 

2 mil+ for inside 8 and 500k+ for others

 

There will be a month of auction where people will be bidding on these towns. My question is, can you get a town-town portal from Legacy, to your town in Rising?

 

I can't wait to see the prices some of these go for.

 

You can

 

much depends on how much (if any) access (by foot) the towns directly adjacent to spawn are required to give to the towns further out. If you can't walk to the diagonals and the second ring from spawn, then there's little point to being close to spawn.

 

kukelekuuk00 or clou44 can you also confirm that there will be 24 spawn towns up for auction? And will they all be 200x200

 

Yes, there will be 24 spawn towns up for auction, and as far as I know, they will all be 200x200.

 

Perhaps this should go in a suggestion post--

but it would be cool if spawn had diagonal access paths to the corner spawn towns, making them valuable as inner circle spawn towns

 

Feel free to make said suggestion.
