Is there any info on towns and cities that you can head to? Areas were people congregate and do something, but isn't battle oriented?

Almost certain there will be. I haven't played Beta, but I mean, you can't just call your game an MMO and not have congregation areas... |

Yeah I'm fairly sure I've seen places that look like towns in the various gameplay videos out there. It really wouldn't make any sense if they didn't have some.

I seem to remember the devs saying that there were community areas in the games for things like auctions houses and such. As others have said, some of the screenshots and videos shows areas that appear to be community hubs.

I actually vaguely remember reading somewhere that agency's get their own little hall they can go to. I could be making that up since I have a pretty bad memory haha. Anyone that can confirm what I just said?

That sounds right. The socialization in the game takes place in neutral common cities with vendors, auction house, and areas to deploy on various PvP and PvE missions. |

Aye....I seem to remember that too, although one thing I never figured out is if that "little hall" is the same place as the customizable bases that agencies can capture and hold, and subsequently defend. It can't be the same area since those bases are part of the 12v12 maps for PvP. But perhaps holding one opens up the common agency area... B |

Like if the "cities" or community hubs are places that have been taken control of. I think this could be a really strange and fun aspect of the game. |

Ah I see...no from what I understand (although I could wrong) is that there will be inter-agency hubs that will be neutral. As for agency specific hubs, I think those will be tied to holdable bases that can be won or lost (I am simply going on what I have pieced together from the interviews and videos, so that is completely conjecture at this point).

That sounds like a very good mix to me. |

There's definitely neutral city areas that don't have to do with specific agencies.
Everything else is pretty speculative though right now since no one has been given a look at anything related to the Agency vs Agency campaign.
