Guild Villages

[old.Wildfire]

While housing is still a fair way off for us here in europe, I think it's only sensible to start planning for it nonetheless. As those who have had a look at the herald will know, each of the two housing zones is split into villages of about 10 plots each. This is as you might have guessed, designed to aid the formation of guild villages. You have your guild hall, and around it you have the houses of some of the members of the guild, outfitted in whatever manner they see fit. Some guilds in UO spent a lot of time on their towns / villages to make them appealing and visit-worthy locations on any discerning map. A variety of merchants is of course suggested, along with crafting tools etc etc.

While there will never be a hard and fast "this bit is mine" way of determining which area corresponds to which guild, I think it might be a good idea (perhaps even the dreaded "f" word*) to start staking claims. Courtesy of the herald are the two albion zone maps, and I will start the ball rolling by planting First Cohort's flag firmly in the ground at Kilnsey If you decide to participate please post your guild's name and the village you wish to inhabit. Lots of course go on a first-come-first-served basis, and I will update my list (below the maps) as time progresses.

(disclaimer: for all the miserable bastards who will be up in arms reminding everyone that I have no right to be doing this - stfu. If people choose not to do this, fair enough, but I thought it might be the "f" word* for once.)

[Flimgoblin]

hmm not really sure till we get to see them to be honest

I like the idea of foxup, waterton and eccleston - but I don't want one with a view of a rubbish dump or whatever

so I'll stake a claim to all of them until we get more details

 

[old.Wildfire]

obviously people may choose to change their claim at a later date - feel free

 

[stupidshady]

I think waterford or rylestone in caerwent.......but this is just me, my guild will prob follow me in this, tough not sure

 

[skile]

You have no right doing this.

 

[old.Wildfire]

blah.

going out to work, will check back later.

Let the flaming commence...

 

[old.Flamin]

Erm who are you Wildfire to decide this?

 

[Mertz]

no right whatsoever

 

[Tigerius]

He isn't, and he hasn't, and he's never claimed it. Calm down. He's merely trying to set a peaceful tone but by claiming one of the arguably best lots in town for his own guild before anyone else gets a say, he also pretty much managed to blow that attempt form post 1

A more reasonable way to go about this rather then claim FIRST at the same moment you make this suggestion and post the maps (many haven't seen em before) would have been to give everyone some time to check out the maps, the housings, and then let people make claims that are settled by /random.

I'm a fighter for legal rights. Therefor I posted, ofc it feels extra good when Wildfire tries do humiliate everyone in advance before they say the obvious.

 

[bracken_woodman]

Bah just treat is as a bit of fun folks

On behalf of the Legion of Darkness, I'm sticking a flag in Bardale (though they don't know it yet hehe). The name sounds like it'll have highest proportion of pubs around



Btw, where did the map come from?

 

[kenshee-himura]

Well as I know albs we just gonna get chaos on the release day anyway.
Albs IQ is way too low to be organizing anything in anyway.
Tho I think Semper Fidelis is gonna put their guild hall close to LoD's

 

[loxleyhood]

Wildfire has no right doing this, but nor do any of the res of us, and I think its a good idea to sort things out now so there is no fisticuffs when housing actually comes

 

[--Eraser--]

nice idea to sort this out peacefully wildfire.
but as already said it wont work.
its pretty obvious the houses near the zoning to camelot hills will be the most wanted and ppl wont stick to your plan.
also because you claimed on of the best places already for FC

would have been nice to sort it out like that but in the end it will be a chaos on the release day, i agree

Don't you know? We're the neighbours from hell!!! And wait until you see Filthius running round the garden naked as part of his goat sacrificing ceremony - not pretty

 

[thucram]

omg

How old can you beif you start thinking about claiming.:swords:

I tell you this, if i see a nice town ingame where i'd like to live ,not yet claimed ,then I will take it, no matter who claimed it even if it was the biggest guild the best guild, i dont care, a claim on a forum means noppes/nada/nothing/rien/0 ! So if i bought up your spot private that you 'claimed' on this forum, so be it .

 

[thucram]

Kinsley is ACCIDENTALY also the closest to camelot hills or is it just the name of town that sounds nice in your ears ? ;D

 

[BrassMonkey]

It'll be first come first serve basis chaos similar to UO, people trying to 'plan' and 'stake claims' is fucking hilarious.

How sad, get out more....

/flame

 

[loxleyhood]

Personaly I think when dealing with something as useless as housing, praticalities like proximity to Camelot Hills shouldn't be considered.

Waterford looks pretty to me

Now with housing coming and all I have a great idea; FC will claim the best spot of all and i will maintain a list so everyone knows it.

The idea of organized housing is great, but claiming the best spot up front reminds me of Aussie claiming the dragon bow before a certain raid.

Damn I was going to pick that.

Ok i'll make do with Eccleston, Just make sure the pond is well stocked

 

[thucram]

go Odysseus

 

[-yoda-]

imo this is a bad BUT good idea at same time. it gives guilds/aliences a good time to plan for this when it does eventually arrive...

also dont forget being by cam hills doesnt mean its best plot.. you can put city portols in your plot and also teleporters to other realms.. and a shit load more different very useful stuff.. and imo the camelot hills areas because some will think they are best area imo will prolly have the worst scenery? and the more inland places have great scenic stuff


ps@ brack good choice brack bardale seems good close to horse and market "not that we will need em" but good anyways

[Feac_]

[loxleyhood]

In the end I think its going to come down to a lotto.
