Renovate a city - Facilitating Unguarded Player Vendors - Nasir - 02-24-2012

Who remembers Luna? Who loved Luna? I'm pretty sure we all loved Luna, crafters and pvpers alike.

Why? Because it was an unguarded commercial hub with a nearby guarded bank and NPC area. Currently, nowhere on Felucca really supports this sort of setup. There simply isn't enough space. Vendors either have to be in guarded cities to be accessible or sporadically placed about the world without a safe place to bank anywhere nearby.

So, I'd like to suggest a change. A rather massive one, I suppose. What if we took a Felucca city that is mostly unused (Skara or Occlo?) and wiped half or just the outer bounds to the same dimensions Luna had. Essentially fortifying an existing city with an outer wall that supported middle-sized custom houses fitting inside. ...or half a city. Something like that.

The point is a central guarded (not safe zone) bank close to an area that facilitates groupings of player vendors and custom houses. It will cluster commerce. Wherever blues go to unguarded areas, there will be PKs. Wherever PKs go to kill unguarded blues, there will be anti-PKs. It's win/win/win for crafters hunt consumers/order to hunt chaos/and chaos to hunt order.

Lunalyfe was thuggin'. Fact.

I'd be up for it being in Skara Smile

There's always the oft forgotten West-Britain too. ...the "other side of the tracks" and the historical home of Chaos and Blackthorn.

There's even a moongate to Skara, which should satisfy sm0ke and public transit suppoerters ;]

True either or, personally I just wouldn't put it in ocllo because when prototype is all macroed up that's where were pretty much going to start ganking rather than brit bridge and it might scare buyers away :p

Shadow's shop is unguarded, which is the only reason I'm able to upkeep my vendor and keep business =p I plan on buying another static nearby as well...

I like the idea a great deal. I also think Nasir may know a fully customized Luna we could use maybe............. Cool

I would love the idea of a non-brit bridge pvp hub. I mean brit bridge will still be popular (the casino), as will Mt. Kendall (the guarded mine), but having a third option would be fun as well! Not to mention having a large vendor hub would be very appealing to everyone I think.

Thumbs up!

This is a good idea people! Lets make it happen!

Instead of wiping a city, I'd rather just build a new one somewhere. Tongue Maybe somewhere near Murr in that huge unexplored forest area.
