Thread: Serenity Island AI city plots? Layouts? Prices?

  1. #1

    Serenity Island AI city plots? Layouts? Prices?

    We really need to get a good look (via plot layouts here in the forums, or on Testlive) at what the city plots available on Serenity Island will look like, and what they will cost; and this needs to be available a fair amount of time before the conversion/merge. Many orgs will have to determine if they want to move up to a more expensive plot than they currently have to fit desired buildings and we need time to evaluate this prior to the merge date.

    Also would be nice to clarify the returned buildings and voucher policy details. Is the voucher for the exact amount our open-world AI city plot originally cost, or some stock amount, or an amount designed to allow affording the smallest Serenity Island plot? Do we get back exactly the buildings we had on the open-world plot(including Saunas), or a set of all buildings, or what?

    A prior monthly Lindelu / director's update said we would all get a packet of "all the buildings we could imagine" ... hopefully that is still the case and our imagination would include the sauna, all ql 300 bldgs and/or multiple ql's including 300, etc., etc., etc.

    I don't recall any mention of the amount of the voucher ...

    I've been hoping to get an official confirmation, particularly on the Sauna part because dammit I helped to farm that thing and I'll be damned if I'm going to let my org lose it

    So far it's a bit vague and seems to imply everyone gets everything and maybe at a selection of QLs to pick and choose from, but that's all speculation.

    Getting a chance to try out the new org city plots on Testlive would be helpful. Once the server merge happens, changing your mine after you pick an org plot and build will be expensive to redo.

    and upkeep

    Any confirmation if new cities will have same upkeep as old city's?

    Also, are all the currently instanced cities going to get the same treatment(removed and buildings and voucher given to Org Pres), allowing those Orgs a fresh, penalty-free opportunity to consider a new city plot size on Serenity Islands?

    Yes ... my understanding is ALL cities will have to be rebuilt and ALL org leaders with an old city will get the voucher and package of "ALL the bldgs you could imagine". I do not recall the thread or threads that stated this ... perhaps it was a monthly update.

    It would be nice to get the details now so we can plan and organize. Or I missed something?

    My expectation is that we'll all lose our city and have to farm new ql300 buildings. And that new plots are going to be twice as expensive as the old ones, as well as unable to fit a large HQ.

    I might be interested in that offer Eka.
    But i am not looking forward to Masta's expectations. Costs / farming not really an issue, but not fitting a large HQ? come on....

    Its definitely gonna suck at first having to rebuild, but after its all figured out, only active cities will be around. AO is also going to attract its members from the past that quit to come back for sure.
