Good day community, this suggestion comes after I have returned to the community after a near 8 month break and its sole purpose is to prove why the new map choice is not for those that have elaborate roleplay Ideas.
I will keep this as short as possible in explaining my reasoning and I encourage you to read the entire post and see as to why it is viable. I thank you in advance for your time.
My suggestion, is for In-game and is simply a map change. Now I know what you are thinking; 'another map change,' 'the server only just changed over,' rockford is best suited' and of course, in part, I agree. Rockford is suited best for new roleplay individuals, that have clear marked buildings and a simplistic city layout and in many ways, rockford is more realistic than Evocity, that was run previous. But this is my main arguement and the main reason as to my suggestion being posted. The city lacks a 'canvas.'
What do I mean by this? All the buildings have a specific purpose. The town hall is the government seat. The police station is home to the Rockford Police department. The Fire station, Medical centre, Hospital, all home to government officials. Now you're going to argue that there are buildings in the city that dont revolve around the government. Of course, there is the Rockford Customs building, with a specific target for mechanics. The tow truck garage, which is best suited for a, (you guessed it,) tow truck or towing company. With most buildings already being mentioned, lets move onto the apartment buildings, cinema, tavern and supermarket. My list could go on, heading up to the extremely large homes, but I'll save the word count.
If I would recall correctly, Evocity, it had a 'canvas.' shelled out buildings, no internal furniture, giving players the complete ability to fill them out as they wish. There was no clear police station, so me and friend made one out of the old AMPM. There was a main high street, that was home to many a shop made by players, giving them the incentive to do passive roleplay. I spent 45 minutes, with the same friend, flying around on the new map, looking for inspiration. We settled on an attempt at creating a more secure Police Station, but coming round to securing the compound, were faced with the fact that all the doors were owned by the world, removing the ability for an individual to buy them and lock them. So we moved on, attempting to find a location to set up a small coffee shop, we came to the conclusion that the only viable option, was the small shop space on Main St. and the only reason that we didnt even begin to build is because, it is constantly in use. Being the only free space in the city that actually draws attraction, at least in Evocity, everyone spawned in view of all shops and had to drive past all player made structures to leave said city.
My only compliment that rockford may deserve, is the vibrant colouring of the buildings.
My suggestion, is for a map change. But, it is not for the immediate reverting back to Evocity. I would love to see a similar map to rockford, but it needs the space for players to create. Without the ability to create, roleplay would not exist.
The only reason that I have posted this here is because map change suggestions are not welcome in the suggestion forums. I would encourage the community, if you agree with me, to request a map change.
