Trade hub support

[Eemerald]

Some of you may have read the thread here:
viewtopic.php?f=34&t=33998

about all the different community projects that are possible.

So starting with the trade hub.

We're having difficulty finding a suitable location, and with that I mean, somewhere which is pretty empty, no claims around, and no large towns or factions.
If anyone has a location which could be suitable, then please contact me.
If we can't find one above ground, we were thinking of doing one underground, but preference would be over a trade place which is above ground.

The plan I have personally is:

The trade hub will be split into cells, each one with a little cabin and it's own gate. The road running in the middle will be wide, and will contain trade tables of any towns/hermits that don't want to have a trade cell.
There will be 1 main gate which will open to the public. Only cr leading inside the town will be in Emerald City.
Doors, as last world trade centre, will open at specific hours, which we will try to do on a regular basis.
No hearthfires inside the trade centre.
Any traders with trade cells that don't want to open because they aren't there during opening times, don't need to. If they want us to open their gates we can do so on their behalf.
The reason for the cells is to provide more security for the traders and make it difficult for anyone who attempts to raid the trade hub. I know from experience last world, after having stuff stolen twice, how annoying it can be, and it's very easy to steal and raid a place which is open in that way.
A sniper wall will be in place, so those inside will have some protection and traders setting stalls can do so safely.

I would ask that those towns, and players who are able to protect the trade centre during opening hours, to contact me, as long as theyre able to work together and not attack apposing groups who are also there to protect. but we can work details out at a later time anyway.

I know my own villagers also have different views on how it will look and run, and so I hope they will contribute here too, and we can create a plan that will be functional, safe, and fun for everyone who is involved.

What I'm asking is really the following:

- Anyone who has a suitable location
- Anyone elses input in how to design the trade centre (inc name)
- A group of people from interested towns, to help in the building process, as I would like this to be a community effort as much as possible, and sadly I do not have the time to do it all alone. We do not need any resources, just man/woman power to get things underway.
- and anyone interested in protecting the town...please note that we will be checking history, what town u're from, how reliable/trustworthy you are etc etc. It would be nice to have more than one town/faction helping with this, even if we split it up where certain towns do certain days, and swap over, or whatever.

So please either add a note here, or pm me, or if u have me on Skype u can message me there. For initial building etc, an alt will suffice, so no one has to worry about any danger to their mains.

thanks

Instead of doing a square/rectangular based hub layout, you should make it circular or some other fancy shape

Men usually do...it's why they like to often go after unattainable women/cars/things ....etc... (winks) juuust teasin guys. Because as you know women are sooo very uncomplicated and easy to understand.
