I figured it was about time to put these ideas in a forum post as they have been living rent free in my mind almost since I joined the server. After thinking on them a bit and deciding on whether people would get annoyed at me for putting these forward, I feel the time has come.
The Main idea is building Valinor as a ‘Server Hub/Lobby’ where the locations are housing for the Role HQ’s and the Server Museum and Lore sections, as a way to incorporate the buildings into the world rather than just in FreeBuild. I figured that due to buildings being in FB they are subject to being redone and revamped which makes it subject to being something that takes away from time or does not allow for duties to run smoothly. Having a base for the buildings may give it more character and be a more intriguing project.
This started from the idea of a project that I have already been working on in my off time for an in-depth server lore location, as I felt the Museum Lore wing doesn’t convey the Timeline in a way that someone can actually learn the details of the server (ie. when buildings were started/finished and big events). From this I saw the parallel with the Halls of Mandos and Vaire’s Tapestry walls which depicts the history of Middle Earth.
At first I figured it would be a project on FB just to put detail around a project that I thought was cool, but there is potential for Adventurers to learn about the Server and have a place to spend time that isn’t on Mainworld or Theme. Additionally it can be where the rules are displayed and other basic info and world info like active builds.
There are probably more parallels to pull for each building like:
Artist HQ - Mansions of Aule (Moria Gang)
Valar HQ - Ilmarin
Common Room - Alqualonde
The ‘hub’ could be a place for Adventurers to take place in minigames like what we have in FB, and spend time with other players and showing what being a Commoner is like. Also showcasing the perks you would get from ranks like the rooms that Commoners get, while maybe barring them somehow from getting into the city, as it would be something for New Players to look up.
Finally the Hub could have a quick warp feature or doorways to certain places alike to WesterosCraft and a map of the world to show warps, although we do have Dynmap already.
