Not sure if this is done, having not played one--but I just made a new character last night and didn't see an option to start in goblin town. With goblins a PC race now without application, seems they should be able to start in their "home" region.

They will probably deserve a newbie shop too that is goblin themed. For all that starting as a goblin should be tough; if you spawn into the Underdark--you have to walk unequipped to goblin town which is quite the hike unequipped.

I learned that the hard way with my kobold. I support the goblin starter shop particularly, since a goblin or kobold starting in lower has no access to regular light armor- only Speckard's expensive rat fare.

Agreed goblin themed equipment. Or a faction HQ for those actually in the gruzzles clan. (like one of those houses. Also perhaps a key to goblin town to unlock/lock the auction house doors. Itd be apreciated to enhance goblinoid rp.

Someone had the idea to keep people from going to Goblin Town through the auction house before and it was shut down (mostly because of Porter Peg-Leg's quest).

Disagreed! A starting location in Goblin Town is fine, but keep out the newbie shop. One of the best things about being a goblin is that the game really is a "hardcore survivor" version of efu that everyone was talking about a week ago. I don't want any special perks for goblins/kobolds. Its great how it is.

I think a shop in goblintown with ridiculously terrible equipment (like leather armor with -1 AC, -3 Charisma) would be awesome.

They'd have a "starting shop", but the stuff would just be -bad-.

Goblin Rat Hunting Shiv FTW.

On a similar note, the Morgue is in Upper Sanctuary. If you decide to respawn in "a safe place" due to a silly death, you find yourself in a rather "unsafe" place (Upper) for a goblin/kobold.

We were four manning rat hunting. That was hardcore.
