The Latest Map of Marble Island (EU shard)

I'd like to get some general input about the town I've created and what is missing or what can be changed. Also, do you like the general style? Or should I do something a little different? It's done for some RP interaction, so I got rid of a lot of the fancy trees and so forth that I had before. However, I think it still is lacking a little "something".

At the moment on Marble Island are the following buildings:

1) Fortress - holding military barracks (& kitchen), prison, small armory, small courtyard, offices, small treasury, provisions area, front lounge and a small council meeting room. Has also a nice front yard area which can be used for small markets and training area etc.

-However, our guild is not exactly a warriors guild... it was done originally for use during an RPvP war... but... or perhaps make this more into a town hall? Do we need a fortress?

2) The Tavern area - also rather small tavern area, hotel beds upstairs, a blacksmithy area, a storage/fisher/flour mill area, a farm/garden area, what was to be a carpenters hall (somewhat unfinished) and some guild private back rooms...(which probably shoud be moved towards the fortress area?) - the smaller building is the crafters area-

3) Two "Shops" - each with a housing area below (unfinished), basically a general provisions, a sculpter area, a tailor and tinker area

4) Mage Hall & Library: Basically as said, small council room inside, upstairs has private section and office plus casting area on the roof.

5) Hospital and Pharmacy: Alchemist area... emergency operating room, small shrine (for nervous waiting folks), doctor's office, hospital rooms, and upstairs a small private home for the pharmacist to live in...

Any suggestions or changes?? I'm primarily looking at the whether or not the fortress stays as it is or gets changed. Which could mean also the tavern area could be expanded then (once the back rooms are moved...) to have a games area and potentially a brothel area as was suggested on Wednesday...

Another idea was to have a small apartment complex instead so that various guild members could "live there".

I never bothered much with making a church or cemetary because there is already the NPC/UO temple on the island...


Any buildings not labeled with a number on the map do not belong to us.






(for reference, the previous style was as such: )
only 4 bldg's there are ours and follow the numbers 1-4 listed above, we were lucky the owner of the 18x18 in front of the other 2 had agreed to go in with the design basis there

Re: The Latest Map of Marble Island (EU shard)

I prefer Aly what you had originally, it had an air of being different to the run of the mill groups of houses in one vicinity most guilds have.

Re: The Latest Map of Marble Island (EU shard)

I know, the new "basic" style was done as I mentioned, as a concession to other RP guilds who were also interested in using the place (and then, as far as I know, didn't use it, lotta work for nothing...) But now Tre is starting to actually use the area a bit more instead of the various other places. So... I guess it's a matter of what's usuable and what's not unfortunately. I am half tempted however to put everything back into marble again or go a more tokunese style, but I highly doubt I would be able to get the various other house owners on the island to switch again. Unfortunately, without the cooperation of those, the island will never have the same feel to it as it did before and not everyone likes trees...

Looks good, got any pictures closer of the actual homes? I'd be very interested in seeing them.

All 18*18?

Re: The Latest Map of Marble Island (EU shard)

The original map is done much bigger size than the one I posted, as well as all of the original screenshots I took when piecing this one together in Paint. There's so many screenshots that it would take a while putting them all up. I didn't really bother with interior screens of these yet... But if there is one particular you wanted to see, I can put that one up first.

1 & 2 are 18x18s, 3 is an 18x14, 4 is roughly 15x15, and 5 is... I forget.. also around 16x18'sh I think.

Re: The Latest Map of Marble Island (EU shard)

It would be nice to see lots of marble being used that tied the structures in with the public non player owned buildings.

Would be nice to see more Guilds using the non player owned structures around this land like the Marble Temple one thats on Marble Isle. I know a few Guilds use that one.

I'm interested in all of them
But mainly 1 and 2 looks promising from what I can see from the overhead picture.

Re: The Latest Map of Marble Island (EU shard)

I loved the marble castle with all the spires...i thought vampires would be a bit more decadent than just plaster & thatched houses!
