Greetings ROGUE,
I am starting a thread about the upcoming house pack-up, since it has huge implications for Arca Effex and its future.
It has been posted in the SWG forums, and June 5 is the date for SOE starting the housing purge. Read the FAQ here:
forums.station.sony.com/swg/posts/list.m?topic_id=305986
If you look at the houses in Arca, especially around City Hall, you will see that SOE has already marked houses "(abandoned)" in red, attached to the house name. The old cantina (The Angry Bothan) is marked, along with the majority of the houses and structures near city hall. This means that we have an opportunity to consolidate our housing near the center of town!
It also means that we could lose standing with our city. Currently the city terminal says that we need 40 citizens to maintain a Metropolis, which means we can keep our shuttle port and our Research title. We can afford to drop one level and still keep the shuttle, but we would no longer be a research center, and some of our houses would be outside city limits. It's 450 meters for a metropolis and 400 meters for a city.
With that in mind, we have some decisions to make, and I would appreciate your input.
1. Should we move the shuttle? If we lose our metropolis standing, it will poof, as it will be outside city limits.
2. Do we want to move our houses to the center of town?
3. Do you want to put up merchant tents near City Hall where the current ones will be removed?
4. The SYN PA Hall so far is NOT marked for removal. Where do we want to put the ROGUE PA Hall? BTW, the FX guild hall IS marked abandoned. And incidentally, the FAQ says that PA halls can now be packed up!
5. According to the FAQ, June 5 is the date that we can tag housing for removal. Do we want to stage a tagging party and watch the old houses go away?
6. We need citizens! Thorian has said he will move his toons into town, and we will need some more to fill the city rosters to keep our town as it is. It looks like there is some old housing that is currently not "abandoned", so we might have a little cushion from old accounts that aren't dead yet, but eventually they will be if the players do not come back.
We need to make sure that all of our toons are in town, preferably close enough to avoid losing citizens if the town shrinks. I have houses just barely in town that I will need to move.
For the sake of citizenship, I am willing to help out anyone who needs a month's subscription to deal with the housing.
I will add more to this as I think of it. All ideas and notions are welcome.
