The Hub

The Hub map, in-game graphic.

Description

„

''This settlement was established in an old town relatively untouched by the Great War. Over the years, it grew in importance as a well as in wealth, and with almost all the major caravan routes passing through it, the Hub became the biggest trading center in southern California. Consequently, the town houses a large community of traders, barterers, gamblers, and other various types of scum.

”

Hub is the capital city of FOnline2. As the description says, it is the heart of caravans and in-game trading. The entire town is tightly secured, but even if someone manages to assassinate you, the guards will secure your belongings immediately and you will be able to get all of your stuff back.

Hub is also a home of various services. Some of them are the usual, independent NPC traders, while the others can offer their services to any wastelander who happens to have enough caps in his pocket, thus enabling players to run their own shops. That's not everything - there plenty of more features located in Hub. Aside from a lot of quest, you can also change your hair style here or even entire player skin (clothes shop) you can find some nice furniture for your base or tent,

If you're looking to talk to other players and for some weird reason you don't want to jump on IRC, Hub is perfect solution for you. Everyday many players are making brake from playing here in Hub just standing there and talking. Well to be honest most of talking is arguing and insulting everyone else, but hey consider its as an Hub variant of PvP.

Note: While Hub guard system is very strong you can still get robbed by entering sub location of Hub without any guards. The most popular of such places is the basement in Maltese Falcon. Remember there is no guard there, thus you can get killed and robbed there, beware!

Private Houses

Bored of regular bases? Too far away from your tent to workbench or whats worse, too far away from closest bar? Consider buying a house! Well to be honest now its too late, as every possible place is taken but let us tell you how it was working few month ago - for some (high) price in caps you could have bought and owned a house or room in one of two Hub's apartments. You had to pay only once and then till end of server's session you could had your own part of Hub's map. Feel special yet?

The houses works just like bases, they have terminal when you can add people who can enter the house. Right now they are totally safe and private. Since all houses are taken, if you really want one you need to talk to one of players having one and offer them at good buying price.

Tina

Tine is probably the most annoying NPC in whole game. You can meet her in the Hub downtown when she regularly chase after wastelanders then spawns a lot of random and very annoying messages. What's perhaps is the most annoying, there is absolutely no escape from her. If you're in the town, you will have to endure her company.

Yep, not even private houses are safe against her. Apparently her lock pick skills are equal to 569%.

Note: Currently due to certain powerful game developer Tina is dead. Don't hope it will last forever though. Tina is like natural phenomenon, there is no way of killing Tornado right? Here we have something similar. She will wake up one day and annoy people...again!

Note: As for 13 April 2015 Tina is back.

Trivia

• Somewhere at the start of Session 3, some random troll got access to admin account due to poor security on the server. No one was really expecting hacker attacking an fan made server. Before developers reacted by turning off server and fixing the holes that hacker used the himself proclaimed: "AntiWesan" managed to set up Junktown in TB mode and kill a bunch of people at the Hub.

Antiwesan's Attack!
Hub during hacker's attack. No one was safe.

• Since Hub is the most crowded place in whole game, players tends to shout to each other a lot. In this picture we can see famous player - Musashi doing critical success on his speech roll.

Shoutback!
Don't mess with the champ!

• Right now Hub is probably the safest town in whole Fonline 2. In the first session guards weren't this strong though and it was possible for coordinated group of players to hold down a Maltese Falcon. It ended up rather poorly for them as while guards were week, Wesan was as strong as he is today.

Maltese Falcon Seize!
