I played on the EA great lakes shard for 3 years. In that time the role-playing community flourished with the Advent of what we called the High Council of Britannia. This was a role-play element that involved Rp'ers of each region of Britannia because it brought them all together in a council. People began taking ownership of their given town and soon many events sprang up in each city.
This whole process was revolutionized by the founding of a player run town Called whispering winds. The town was founded just down the road from the Skara Brea Ferry and included a large tower Town hall and workshops and Municipal building including a Barracks for Local defense and I could go on and on. This play run town brought many RP and PVP events to the community at large.
I would like to present an idea that I feel would really level the playing field on this server. Letââ¬â¢s begin in the theory Phase...
I get together a Petition that is signed by ten members of a Guild or other organization asking for a land-grant from the Devs/Gm's. All the Gm's do is disable monster spawns and possibly level the terrain to make a town feasible. All this Area would do is serve for the basic staging ground for a player town. I am not speaking of adding landmasses I am simply making clear that Britannia is very large and the wilds stretch on and on and we have plenty of room to accommodate a town.
This Petition would enter the game as an in game map marking the boundaries of the town. The Land-grant would be of course based on cooperation (number of people signed up) and of course money and resources. This would then enable the members of the town to Buy their own houses and place them as the founders see fit.
Once this has been completed the town will need to grow. Each town will have an opportunity to buy things such as NPC's Special Decoration and Possibly even fortifications. As More residents move into the city the land-grant can be increased by more gold and more resources ect ect. So basically you create a huge money/Resource Sink because everyone wants to expand their city and add to its greatness. What this does is also spawn a forum for guilds to PVP in New Areas with different strategic points.
The main Thing in this system is that each petition for a city Charter will need to be gone over by the GMââ¬â¢s. This needs to be a difficult process and I think the harder it is to get a town the more rewarding it will be. Each town will be full of Player run establishments Free to make choices of who they will accept in their town.
For instance imagine Electing a Mayor who decides that Reds are welcome to come and go as they please in their town. Say the Community raises enough money and resources to buy a bank and Reds and Blues comingle outside of the Rigidity of the Premade towns. Of just the same a Mayor could say that reds would not be allowed and the local militia could respond thus promoting more and more dialogue and pvp.
I think this idea when charted fully can add Massive depth and continued interest to this shard.
I have a few text files with ideas spelled out as well as resource requirements and items if a Dev would like me to E-mail them to them.
Thanks
