I like the farms. Magincia, city of magic, was destroyed for a reason. Now its lost the powerful magic, and they have to go all the way to farming.
I think it should be called "New Magincia" tho, like New Haven. Or something like that.
Only thing i don't like about it is that all the player houses will be 15 by 15 (hopefully some will make them smaller, i know i would do a 14 by 14 just to make it even) Having them all the same size tho just makes me think of a cookie cutter housing development.
In theory it
is called New Magincia. It is referred to as such in the documents and by their statements.
However, they forgot to call it such on the Moongate. I insisted to my fellow players that they could not possibly forget that, then they did. *sighs* Oh well. (Team: Please correct this when the Publish goes to the other shards.)
Now, in reply to the original post.
What do I think of New Magincia....Mixed feelings. I've only taken one look, and I should take more.
I am increasingly liking the idea of player housing comprising the bulk of the town. What will actually happen is anyone's guess though. It's a fairly big gamble, both on the team's part and (in-character) on the part of the New Magincians.
The NPC part of the town....I think there is a way to have more content there and have it still fit a Humility theme. But it's a hard call; if they put too much there I guarantee you more people would say "this is a new Luna and it sux" than they already are.
I find it appropriate that the New Magincians have largely put themselves south of where they are allowing outsiders (us) to build. If we build little neon mansions they can largely ignore us. I like the Inn/Tavern. Someone said there was a stable but I ain't seen it yet and why on earth wouldn't a stable be more obvious?
Overall........Not too bad.
