League of eXtraordinary Beings

Hey all,

Deex asked me to post a bit about getting a city on Shadowfire. I will post wps soon as I log in again and go get them.

Edit add: Here's the wp to the Rori city, Valhala.

Rori
Valhala /way 3073 -798

Take shuttle to Nevermore then run/ride out to Valhala.



We have a couple options.

There is a group on SF who have built an alt placeholder city on Rori. It's rank 3 so far. It is filled with alts, just holding the city for a guild to take over when they transfer to SF. It's called Valhala. I will get the wp on here in a bit.

The guy we talked to last night *swears* all the alts are active and that they can get them all to take up their houses if we move in. The deal is, we have to make alts now, place houses and declare there, to hold the city till the transfer. We need 30 or more alts to do this. He said only one other guild has shown interest in the city. So far.

It's on a wide open flat grassland area of Rori. Right next to a battleground so we'd lose some buildable space.

Or, we could take over that city, then once we are all there, destroy the CH and put a new one down where we want on Rori. However, Deex has been running all over looking and there just isn't any better locations. It's all swamp and hills and dead trees that collide.

There's also the issue of maybe they can't guarantee ALL the alt houses will be removed. I take their promise on that with a grain of salt. It's possible we could get stuck with a couple ghost houses.

Okay. Other option.

Keep our original plan and try for a new city on Naboo.

My char on SF has been around for 5 years. I am going to delete her when we transfer. But in the meantime, she had about a million credits. I bought Deex a CH last night. He tried to place it today. No good. Naboo is capped.

We could set up some alts with houses and claim and squat on some land there, holding it till we move over. We could set up as a city and keep trying to put a CH down there.

Deex found a nice spot on a beach we could try.

But with transfers coming in, and Naboo already capped on a low pop server, and no idea how merciless or even when the next purge will be... it could be a long time before we ever get a city.

So. What do y'all think?

Originally, I was all for the plan of starting up on Naboo, but seeing as how the planet is capped, it might be a better idea to take the city on Rori. But then again, if our small bundle of houses is near a starport/shuttleport, it may not be so bad.

After having helped start a city on Rori myself (Nemesis, formerly Mt. Olympus) I can definitely say it'll be a pain in the butt trying to locate flat land to place a new City Hall. I remember driving all over that planet trying to find an area, and there are very very few places that are flat, and large enough to build on. Something to think about, if we take the city, and choose to relocate.

Just throwing in my two credits.

Qitu,
Thanks for posting this.

Q pretty much spelled out the options, we take overteh city they have reserved, or place houses and wait till a spot on Naboo opens up, or take the city on Rori and keep trying on Naboo, maybe after the housing purge.

If we decide to take the city we need everyone to make as many alts on SF now as we can to place houses in the city to keep the city as it is, then that way they can have people move out the houses they have there.

Then once the transfers start we move people in and get rid of the alts we started there.

So please think about this so we can make a decision soon

Another option is that we just make a "city" on Naboo and wait and see if a city spot opens up at a later time.

Rori
Valhala /way 3073 -798

Take shuttle to Nevermore then run/ride out to Valhala.

Ok here is a location on Naboo with a bit of room that we could gather in and call it a "city" till we could get to place a cityhall.

Waypoint 2909 6351.

Its close to a city with a shuttle, so travel wouldnt be an issue.

This may be a dumb question, but is there a reason why we don't make a city on Dantooine? That would prevent us from having to redecorate a new cantina, CH, etc.

I'm fine with whatever, just curious. I wasn't around when the decision was initially made so I am just wondering why we aren't relocating to a similar spot on the same planet.

Well that isnt a dumb question Zoot, we talked about it and kind of decided on moving, you know starting anew, with som many old plaers not coming back and our efforts to rebuidl the guild.

I know some players have lag troubles on Dant, and Kiirs Museum’s are all in Naboo guild halls so that limited our choices for locations.

Ahh, well that certainly makes sense. So we could move to Naboo, Rori, or Dantooine, right?

Yeah, your cantina is a Naboo cantina, so it doesn't have to be redecorated as long as it's on Rori, Naboo or Dant.

Naboo is first choice. But since it could be a long time before the cap on cities will open there, Rori is more likely.

Dant has hill-itis.

I'm pretty sure it's a Tatooine cantina but I could have sniffed too much Bantha poodoo when I was younger...

Yes it is! Dang I guess it shows how often I am not in LC on Dant. I'm sorry, I had forgotten your cantina was a Tatooine style.

I wish that Sony would allow us to change the style of building with this move, so we don't have to reinvent the wheel, but I'm sure the furnishings would be way out of whack if we did that.

Are we going to all move to some location at one time?

My vote is for starting a small village of houses on naboo and waiting. I don't really wanna live on Rori. Plus we'll be right by a starport.

Rori has drippy weather (kind of like Dantooine, actually)...I don't mind going to Naboo and waiting. SHould I make a toon on SF or just wait until the weekend and move Zoot over?
