    Cool idea.

     

    I like the idea of cities run by a guild too, there could be both kinds of cities, limited to a guild and open for everyone.

     

    How to do it? Ent's 2nd idea would be the most easiest and fair one IMO.

     

    One player buys the map/area for a reasonable price, then a wooden hut with a NPC inside pops up (the architect/engeneer or whatever) close to that area.

     

    Players can then buy a place for a building from that NPC for a price the owner of the land/area sets. 10% of the money go to the owner, 90% goes to the NPC (leave the game).

     

    A player asks the NPC to buy a place, the owner must allow him (tell the NPC that he accepts that order).

     

    I didnt mention the zone advisor right now, im not sure if its good or bad to split the management of a city in 2 different jobs or not. And the zone advisor will be only needed in the beginning of the city, when all places are sold, this job is useless.

     

    When there is then a community in the city, lets elect a mayor. This can, but must not be the guy who bought the land.

     

    Other jobs:

     

    Commander of the guard who selects/hires players or PK bots, who maybe have the power to make players in this city PKable or bring them into a jail.

     

    Architect, who accepts changes to buildings. Today its just a tavern, tomorrow its a fighting school (PK arena). The guy who keeps an eye on how the city develops.

     

    Chief of market: Allows trade bots/guild NPC's in areas fo the city or not.

     

    Chief of jail (probably an NPC) who releases ppl from jail after they finished a community job, like picking 2k flowers and giving them to the NPC.

     

    Well, just my 2 cents :)

     

    Piper

    I agree some parts of this and some parts not.

     

    If we think it as a public office we simply need a Mayor, a Chief of Guards(or Commander) and a Chief Justice(Judge) to prevent the abuse of the powers they got.

     

    Mayor is in charge of city management. Decides who will build a house or another building. Does the other things The_piper described for Architect(accepts changes to buildings, keeps an eye on how the city develops). Also the treasurer(Chief of Market) of the city. Controls the city treasure. If city wants a tavern, general shop, blacksmith, storage, pk arena it will be paid from city treasure. Mayor should be elected by the citizens for 2 months(for example) Chooses a Vice Mayor to do his job while he's not available.

     

    Chief of Guards

    Commander of the guard who selects/hires players or PK bots, who maybe have the power to make players in this city PKable or bring them into a jail.

    Other duties: Identify the criminals(bagjumpers, naughty summoners, all kinds of trouble makers) and report them to Chief Justice as suspected people of town. Elected by citizens for a certain time. Chooses a deputy to help themselves.

     

    Chief of Justice

    A suspected character will wait with limited rights (or in prison) until CJ decides if the person is guilty or not. Then decides the punisment (if possible cant enter the city, cant use city storage, make pkable) Can't decide a punishment without a Guard's report. (I have no idea how can you limit this)

    In my opinion Chief Justice should be like Moderators elected by citizens for a certain time. If the Chief of Guards report something about Mayor, CJ can also punish Mayor.

     

    In this system Mayor has the most of the power but can be removed by only a Guard's report and Judge's decision together. Guards cant be removed until new one selected but only have right to report. And CJ(Judge) cant be removed until new one selected but only decides things about players not the city and cant use the power without report. We need Judges to watch out Mayor and we need Guards to watch out Judges. We need all three together to watch out citizens.

     

    Each city will have their own rules and own punishments. In some cities summoning high level monsters at certain places can be illegal but for others it's everyones right to summon anything. Everyone pays a certain amount of tax(1000-10000gc for a week) We still have old cities for the ones dont have or dont want to pay the money.

     

    Some of my sugestions can be improved and some of them may need new codes (new kind of moderator-cant use powers without report). Thats all what i can think of right now.

     

    p.s.: I didnt think all of them by myself. They're from RL and other games as well.

    The problem is about active desktop. To remove the shadow;

    right click desktop - properties - desktop - customize desktop - web

    then delete all active desktop elements. it should be look like this;

    btw windows help is really crap about these subjects.

    I would have participated if it had fair teams. And it's funny when you say "everyone have their privacy on so i can't make it fair". This is nonsense. I remember the big pk contest 1+ year ago (some char buyers probably don't remember it). It was a mass slaughter and it was fun. And it had balanced teams.

    i think it was all out war. and cyprom made that one too. the teams were really balanced. i was 40-45 a/d that time and it was even fun with that levels. i dont remember how did we managed to make the teams balanced though.

    But ask your self this one question where can a scamming n00b get gc like that? :lipssealed: I mean I know quite a few people in like 70s a/d who cant even afford that type of armor. So unless she can magically do something and get like 900k I think she scammed the gc and I myself do not wish to do business with any one who holds scammed items or gold. And etland if u have a problem with this bring that pretty gear of urs into an arena and we discuss ok :icon13:

     

    have you ever heard "irl rich" peoples an "EL shop" terms. and if you re reading forums you should know she buys items and sells ingame (like bronze armor)

    i voted yes for this idea. probably my guild (Dao) will never use this feature but i liked the idea. brings more fun to game :|

     

     

    Fun?? how can it be fun when pp, who choose NOT to kill another person, are forced to watch other people slaughter eachother?

     

    This isnt MU, or Guildwars, or any other game that revolves around fighting and killing eachother!

    This is Eternal Lands..where people are encouraged to WORK together..all ages, all classes, all religions, all colours!

    By God..we just worked together to get the Global Warning System up..and now we are being encouraged to turn against eachother..now we are being forced to watch people kill eachother?

     

    No! Killing of another citizen of this World should be done in seperate places..so we all have the freedom to go see and join that if we choose..and those who choose not too, should be not forced to watch it..

     

    Jez

     

     

    well.. i always like to watch fights in EL and i also fight sometimes. im in a peaceful guild but that doesnt mean we cant pk. fighting with animals and monsters is ok but fighting with people is slaughter. i dont get it
