Player Owned Metropolis!

This just appeared in the Add-On Store for $5000.

Player Owned Metropolis

Have you ever wanted to own an entire scene? Now you can! A Metropolis it the biggest scene available! It is substantially bigger than a Player Owned City, which is even larger than Owl's Head in the Hidden Vale!

Includes:

• 83,400 m2 of player lots
• A design session with the Dev Team to define details including:
  • Name of Town
  • Location: Roughly which quadrant of the map. (Exact hex will be determined by Portalarium, Inc.)
  • Biome: Forest, Mountains, Grasslands, Swamp, etc.
  • NPC Building Definition (inn, smithy, etc.)
  • NPC names and stories
  • Lot Selection: Determine which lots of which size you want. For example at this size:
    • 139 Village Lots
    • 123 Village Lots + 1 Castle Lot
    • etc.
• X Keys to X Locked Lots:
  • Keys equal to the number of lots chosen
  • Owner of the keys can lock and unlock lots at will so they can actively control who gets to live there
  • The key owner can evict an occupant and lock the lot using the key
  • Players will still need lot deeds to claim the lots once the town owner unlocks the lots
• Central Square with 15 NPC owned buildings
• Add On Store Houses:
  • 4 Add On Store Village Houses
  • 4 Add On Store Town Houses
  • 4 Add On Store City Houses

Notes

Player run towns do not include the lot deeds
There will be a path to achieve this in game via in game gold purchase but the ownership of the scene will incur a rental fee

 

I want one..... But I just can't justify having anything larger than a village.

 

Some questions I had about all the Player Owned Locations.

Each includes X amount of NPC buildings.

Does the Key holder have the ability to control how these buildings are decorated?
Do they all have to be in a center square? Can we relocate a few?
Does each NPC building come with it's own NPC? No mention of how many NPC's in total.

 

Hmm...how interesting

 

Really even larger now, trying to rival the capital now?

 

Next thing you know, they'll be offering a Player Owned Megalopolis.

 

Amazing !

 

Hmmmm it's a bit small.

 

next they'll release player owned continents... ^_^

 

Player Owned Islands are next! Hey, my Holdfast would look great on it's own island...

 

Did someone already buy a city size? I can't imagine why they would add a new one if there wasn't a high demand for the levels below it.

 

I'm sure it's coming

 

I am for Player Owned NOTHING

 

I want to see player own islands too (city boats reminds me of water world), but I would love to see player own towns with coast lines!

 

There are two that I know of.

PaxLair
Beran"s Reach

 

So, is anyone planning to get the Metropolis?

 

I'd keep an eye on the player city threads, two of them mentioned above, I'd be surprised if they didn't upgrade.

 

If you give me the money I would love to take it and name it Kraut

 

I thought a lot about it (city), but there are to many open unanswered questions for me.
And now at 5k i wonder if i should first upgrade to LotM?
As i understand, for the player towns there is no limit (time or amount). So, no rush needed.

For (distant) future planning we need to know:
- upgrade / growth of player cities
- lots are upgradable and if, up to which size (in particular tax free lots)?
- keep lots are buyable?
(Important for the layout. How many lots of which size are needed?)

Nearly nothing is known about guild buildings or other guild setting so far.

What if i dislike the direction in which the guild develops or i quit the game?
Can i sell the Hex to the guild?

 

5.000 Dollars... whoa... What if you find out that the game is not to your liking? What if at some point you don't want to play anymore or the game fails and is shut down? That is a lot of money to lose for virtual property...
One of the reasons I am absolutely not interested in housing etc.
