Nothing, just been preoccupied with other stuff in-game aside from hustling/playing. :) But I was making the point, in this regard I'm apart of your group. Towns are expensive, they are, but that is the point of towns. Even @ 1000 and 5000. That upkeep reduction really was the best.
Outside of the argument of lowering any price being beneficial for those paying it, I just don't agree that those two prices are that killing. It's something to keep in mind, absolutely. But it's not back-breaking.
