Town progress is coming along nicely! Soon to be City!!!
I have a
major announcement to make!
!!!
As of 48 hours ago up until now, everyone I've seen online has been informed to spread the word:
We're tearing the overcity down and rebuilding plot layouts. You have approximately
one week to correspond with changes or we will PE and have your chests MOVED. We plan to allocate new plots to people who had them, including people who were sharing plots. We have a document among the managers to help catalog all the information we could gather.
I suggest everyone start demo'ing their own plots to speed up the process. Also, we need to seal the final parts that are exposed in the basements to the core before tearing down the 'walls' of newerth. Use your core apartments to store your valuables and plot materials until we rebuild the above ground.
Make sure to cover all chests with dirt before leaving/logging out every time you're on. LWC's are fantastic btw.
There will be
building restrictions imposed in the new changes. All upper-tier management of OS/NW specifically have agreed to several implementations. Most all of our other managers also have agreed. SO! Henceforth:
- ALL buildings must not be higher than 4-5 stories, WITHOUT PERMISSION.
- You may obtain permission from Sidesummy, Symbolite, or myself (xexorian).
- ALL buildings must not go to skylimits.
- I want a maximum of half that, around 96 blocks tall, please. (give or take 16)
- NO FLAT RECTANGLES. Period. You must have a style, simply texturing a box does not look good.
- Please use some skill, or commission an architect in the town to help you design your house. However, don't expect it for free! Either do them a favor, or pay them, or work something out. Heck, just leveling your combat spec and protecting others would suffice to me! We don't ask for much here in Newerth. Just teamwork.
- If an Architect, the managers as a whole, Symbolite, or myself (xexorian) do not like the look or theme of your house, we may require you to change it or force you to.
- We want a pretty town, that's what we're known for, we intend to keep it that way. Sometimes opinions vary on what is pretty, and OS in general has several different consensus' on this, however we're usually all in agreement. If something's ugly, we all already know it, so don't complain to me - if you're told to change it. Key reminder: Newerth is OWNED by Symbolite and Xexorian.
I am open to new ideas, and discussion but if you're the type to come at me firing the rage cannons, well then. Either calm down and talk to me, or GTFO! We intend to let these restrictions be as loose as possible to allow room for lots of creativity. Please understand that they're not entirely in place to limit it, as they're only there due to the size restrictions and general theme(s) of our township.
Signed, announced, officially.. what have ya. (and with love! HAPPY VALENTINES!!!)
