Population

For most things, including population, we follow the rule of WYSIWYG which means "What you see is what you get". Consequently, the population of World's End is directly related to the number of hostile NPCs, NPC thralls and players found in the game world. All players may count their fictional clan size to include themselves, their actual player clan members, and any human combat/craft companions (aka thralls) the clan members actually have, including those on crafting benches.

Note

As of Season 2, the number of bench thralls can not exceed 2 per player for the profession stations, and a handful of others on the crafted stations - assuming they ARE on those stations at the clan's base. The current thrall count per player is set at 3 in game, that is in addition to the bench thralls mentioned here.

NPCs

There is a variety of mechanic NPCs in Conan Exiles.

• Human Combat Companions are a type of CE Thrall that can be captured with a truncheon, brought back to a wheel of pain and broken to fight along side you.
• Non-Human Combat Companions are CE Pets that can be captured as babies and raised to fight along side you.
• Crafting Thralls are a type of CE Thrall that can be captured with a truncheon, brought back to a wheel of pain and broken to work at a crafting station.
• Thespians are a type of NPC provided by the mod Pippi and can be used for a variety of things such as a buy/sell vendor, a banker or if active, as interactive dialog NPCs.

Guards

We feel that with the mechanics of the NPCs and their limit cap that the actual NPCs in game are the best and only viable option for the use of NPCs in our role-play. While I'm sure no one will mind hand waving the occasional slave at the local drinking establishment, all NPCs should be physically represented by in game thralls.

This means that if you are going to claim you have guards, you better actually have NPC thrall guards (Human Combat-Companions).

Role-Playing your NPCs

The NPCs owned by you or your clan are yours to role-play. This means you can dress them how you wish, name them how you wish, make up back stories for them, even give them personalities and have them speak and emote in game. (We have the /do command which allows you to emote/speak for the NPC.)

Players may represent their NPCs as anything plausible to Gor or World's End - this is the established premise on all Conan Exile roleplay servers. Your NPC - Your fiction. If another player god-mods the fiction of your NPCs it is the same as them god-moding your character directly. <See: RP Etiquette>

Thrall

The term thrall in Conan Exiles has a different meaning then term thrall in Torvaldsland of Gor, just as the Conan Exile term for Priest King is obviously not the same Priest Kings in the Gorean fiction.

Population Estimates

I'm going to try and break this down as logically as possible so that it seems reasonable to everyone. That maybe impossible, but we need a generally agreed upon premise so as not to cause confusion between players.

In a Scene

This means you are actively engaged in role-play with other players in game.

For Combat

This means you are engaged in Mechanical PvP combat with another player.

For General Estimates

This is for the purposes generalizing how many NPCs are part of your clan.

Personal/Clan

How many NPCs can I claim to have total? How many can I claim for my clan?

If you are out and about you can only claim to have as many NPCs as are physically represented in game, which for the purposes of BoG is currently two NPCs on follow.

If you are standing near your thespian vendor you can claim they are part of the scene.
