Archived Great House Embassies

[BenRekt]

Back when Silveredge was still a survival world, factions had the ability to purchase plots of lands in the spawn town and build recruiting centers / houses to represent their faction in the server spawn. I think this would be a great addition to Regalia, especially now that we have lore compliant Great Houses.

Ideally, players would be able to buy empty houses (so that at least from the outside they will fit in with the rest of Regalia) and then be able to customize the inside (and possibly parts of the outside with staff help to make sure it doesn't ruin the aesthetic). The prices of a plot should be high so that owning one is a sign of status, but also so that not every Great House can afford one.

I can see this having a positive effect for many reasons such as the fact that:

• It serves as a good money sink
• It attracts survival players to Regalia thus encouraging them to participate in RP
• It further intertwines Great Houses and RP in Regalia
• It works as a 'time sink' - it gives end game players another thing to do besides run in circles in their f home

I've heard the idea tossed around a couple times, and I thinks it wold be pretty cool. The issue would be finding locations for it. As far as I know, which isnt much im just assuming, staff already have plans for the area around RP spawn. And putting it anywhere else in the city would result in it being enveloped with housing eventually probably. Unless you put it in an area that for sure, 100%, wont have expansion into it. Or just have housing surround it anyway for lols.

Would not having access to signs be a dealbreaker? Signs/item frames/other entities are a non build-able item in Regalia.

I feel like they would be pretty important, would it be possible to make them only placeable by staff members?

maybe have an npc set up that spouts the recruitment info or set the area to have a message pop up when they enter

I feel like they would be important, but we would only need a few. Not to the point where they would cause lag. Plus it would allow factions who don't spend time in the city, to hire decorators who know the struggle of not being able to place those items

I feel like all it really needs is an environment to culminate itself in. Then, Crisis Houses could get their name out to the roleplay scene regardless. The signs shouldn't be a necessity.

Hey this seems pretty neat

Any news on this or are most staff pretty busy with other things @MonMarty ?

I think this is something we can poll the roleplayers for by PR staff. I will ask @SpunSugar to poll roleplayers specifically and ask whether they would even use such a feature, or whether they would bother to visit the embassies/whether they are even interested at all. If the poll turnout is low, I'd prefer not to spend time implementing something that will just gather cobwebs.
