City Feeling City!

[Gurthok]

Not a big issue, just more of a suggestion like the category is. I like my cities to not resemble the one I live in, Anchorage Alaska. Its spacious, green, and not much of a city. Sundren City reminds me of just that. Port Avynthyr (in the alley ways) feels more like a city than Sundren does.

I guess the reason I am saying this is because my character is sneaky, he spends most of his time in the city - but there are hardly any dark alley ways! My suggestion? Implement more buildings even if they don't have interiors. Make them closer together, make more overhangs and stuff that cover the sky like in port avynthyr, reduce the light, reduce the number of plant life.

I saw that the industrial district is not yet finished, and maybe this is going to be something like this. But I really would like the capital city to feel more like a city than the measly port town to the south.

Any thoughts on this? >.>

[Phantom Lamb]

It would take too much effort at this stage.

[Gurthok]

Possible down the road?

[Saulus]

Nothing is going to be done to Sundren City for now. No plans down the road, at least for the forseable future.

[Gurthok]

Aw, okie dokie. Well I hope once sundren becomes more prosperous, that the city will bulk up <3

Medieval cities was cramped...i mean Really cramped...with alot of dark allyways and such. and most didnt even have Tile roads in them. also they were very dark even during the day.

No they weren't, you're thinking of the industrial boom about 200-300 years later. Medieval cities had very wide, spacious streets to allow the transport of large amounts of livestock through them, with maybe some tighter fitting buildings around the outskirts where the poorer people lived. American cities were obviously not built around this time, appearing much later, when industry was starting to move away from agriculture, and the wide sweeping streets were not needed as there were far fewer cows.

While nothing is going to happen to the city for a while, expanding on what it is now has definitely come up from time to time. Adding to it some kind of slums area (in BG or PS:T style) for the less fortunate could surely add opportunities for city-RP and events to the server. But as said, there aren't any plans and for now we have our hands full.

Actually, I grew up in a Medieval small German city (its core with the old city walls being largely untouched since the early 14th century and quite beautiful)

It IS cramped, it DOES have small alleyways. The main street leading to the marked and through the city gates are wide enough, but there is still to this day an abundance of dark nooks and crannies that are great fun to explore.

All for Slums!

I'm all for slums as well. Sundren is just a little to clean (baring the storm drains of course ). The poor people need a place to rummage around and talk about the evil nobles with all their food without to much fear of getting beaten for looking unclean and all sullen.

I guess nobody ever pays attention to those prospector folk around the pitched tents and camp fires at Sundren City Gates...or the docks at Port Avanthyr. I mean, they're not elaborate sprawls, or anything, but they do exist.
