The towny usage on the HC island is still in debate as you can see in my previous post. I'd like to have it used so that people could still run their own towns and protect their items. It really comes down to how the HD area will be separated from the normal members. When we have a solid idea of how that will work, we can figure out a way to incorporate claims and protections, probably in the form of towny and lockette.
