Honestly, I'd say just follow your heart. I had to leave Ibbish behind to found my town. It was a tough choice, but I don't regret it because now that I'm making my own town, I can make my mark in the world. So like I said, just follow your heart. If you're setting up shop in ascalon, I would be happy to let you into my new alliance I'm making if you'd like
Dual has it right. I've left several towns in my time to create my own, and I'll be honest with you. Sometimes I regretted it, but other times I had known I made the right choice. You'll never know until you do it.
