    Greetings Avatars, as many know, we have a project to create the largest PvP city in Shroud of the Avatar. The project is progressing well.. The idea is to create a city where there will be a lot of risk and where PvP players can meet each other. Pk's and Anti-Pk's, Pro's and Casual PvP players, all are welcome.

    PvP is a lifestyle and this community will breathe and live through it. Blood will flow everywhere in the streets and life might be sometimes difficult. But, some links will be created between players and the SotA PvP community will be improved. I can’t wait !

    So, I have several ideas for this city, but I would like to receive your ideas that will make this city the most amazing. First, to develop the largest PvP city of SotA, I think we need to have the best PvP players as citizens. For now, we have many citizens who are very good PvP players. I have personally faced many of the best PvP players in SotA during the previous release and I am happy to say that many will live in this city. We have a solid foundation.

    On the other hand, there is a big brainstorming to do and I need your help.
    There is a lot of work to do and lots of questions.

    In your opinion, this city should be built with which biome? forest, swamp, mountains, underground etc).

    On New Britannia, do you think that there is an ideal location for the city?

    Best neighbors for this project?

    Laws? Events? No man’s land neighbourhood,? Other?

    A very important point. What are the essential NPC buildings for a PvP city?

    Other important aspects to create the greatest PvP city in SotA ?
    I invite you to share your ideas here to help.

    Don't lawyer me broth !

    Thanks for reading and your help!

    Greeting Avatars , As a citizen of this city , i also can't wait !! I like the part where you say , the blood will flow everywhere in the streets ! haha ! Really good project , if you need me for anything , im here ! Let's all help to make this city a big and épic city , a city where you don't know what will happen every corner you turn , a city where you're looking for your most hated ennemis , a city where there's dead corpse all over ! well , a little paradise for PVP player to live ! Long live to the project and the City ! Cheers ! See ya in there , and be aware !

    I think building the city in a swamp could be interesting , since it's dark and creepy and for the npc , i guess a reagent vendor or a tavern or something would be real great ! But in my opignion , it wont really matter to me , anything would work ! I'll be in in any ways ! :)

    Wow, "a place players feel unsafe to go in" , yeah that sounds like fun? is that really what you are looking for? You more want a place that player know they can go and have a good clean fight then someplace they just get whacked in.

    Swamps would be interesting but Monutains would provide more varied land you can take high ground, run around hills etc.

    There's nothing better than having your most hated ennemis as neighbor !! That's what i meant, it'll be a pvp city, so you know by going there , that you might fight, so you're not safe at all , as you'll be in any other town , that's what i meant !

    Maybe Brawl Tavern. Underground biome. For the location, I vote to be close to a shard fall.

    You could model it after Sanctuary in Thieves' World-- a port city like Kingsport, but metropolis in size; or, you could model it after Nulb in The Village of Hommlet-- a village in a swamp.

    Why this place ??


    The swamp is popular.

    I love your idea about Sanctuary. It would be interesting to have more dark houses in the Add-On Store. The houses offered do not correspond to darker place.

    :D

    TheMadHermit ROCK !

    I'm interested in how you intend to select lot sizes for your town... There is no mention of or link to lot sizes in your Kickstarter.

    A village lot, by math, should cost about $40 ($39.29) using your 10% markup, also assuming that the owner contributes equally to pay for their own lot.

    So, a row lot would be about $10.
    As previously mentioned, a village lot would be $40.
    A town lot would be $80.
    A city lot would be $160.
    A keep lot would be $320.
    A castle lot would be $640.

    Wouldn't it have made more sense to structure your campaign so that everyone that contributed to the settlement was guaranteed the lot size they wanted? You currently have 31 backers, and are funded for a Holdfast, which is 21 village lots.
