I have a dream

[Intrepida]

I would love to see UO Make a new land that starts out all water. Guilds of a given size would beable to elect their leader who inturn could mark a location for the guild town. THen all that are in the guild would beable to place there houses within a set distance from this point and the distance would be controlled by the size of the guilds membership. Only guild members could place or own homes in that zone. When the house is placed land is placed under it and slowly an island begins to grow. Also allow the guild leader.mayor to place certain non player thinks like Ponds or wooded parks or docks ectera based on the towns size. if the towns active membership goes down then Items can be lost. If the circle size for the town shrinks then player houses that are not within the circle of the town would be drifted into area within that cirlce and the structures played by the mayor would sink into the sea if the town wasnt large enough. When a new member to the guild places his or her house its land must be conected to existing land of that guild. This could be tooled so that player towns could develop and die with out cluttering the area after they die. Its just a basic outline but I think you can get the picture. This would help the problem where we play and never seam to see other players this hurts the player comunity.

well, ive actually imagined a system that allowed either:

people linking their multiple accounts together at uo.com. then being able to link nearby houses together, and per amount of homes linked, another player town perk they could add to houseing or houseing area. ive wondered something similar with guilds

Maybe its just me buit I think it would realy help get people back to gether. It seams we are all so bussy but never see each other and that hurts the game. Comes with the great job they have done with giveing us alot to do in the game.

Not exactly like taht but a bit back Rivendale was like that , purely play run town, (with some seer/em/gm help tho ) and it was awsome, although that might be a bad idea with opening the new lands since some people might start excuding people, and people will then even more so then now, not visit the towns that are currently being used. :O

It would be nice to see the lands we already have utilized.

How about a purchasable item that allows up to 5X2 tiles (approx.) of the land between two custom houses to be attached. This housing plot attacher could be customized with tiles from the house customize menu. You could buy this "zoning" deed from the architect NPC.
The owners of both houses would need to confirm on some sort of gump similar to the trade window for the attacher to appear and connect both plots. Maybe security could be set as well on this "hallway" of sorts.

Might be totally crazy idea..it's hard to explain what I am thinking of. It would be nice to have a solution like this that could be used in all facets and also be a tool for player run groups to revitalize the old lands.

Yes Rivendale is a prime example of what I want to see back. Maybe there would be a way to implement tools inthe game that would make that more possible. But its hard to set up a town when anyone can place inside it and then not be a part of it. There needs to be some kind of tool that allows only town memebers top place in the town. This could result in friends linking up more often and makeing the towns a draw to all players for interaction and events. I long for the days when you saw players everywhere. The populations cant be that much lower as most of the houseing spots are still filled but sadly you dont see the players. Maybe I am longing for something thats long gone but it was a beautiful thing
