I was invited to an impromptu meeting at Carafax by Scotia and the topic was how to generate more "quality" RP in Napa. Here are some of the ideas that were mentioned.

A-Hold regularly scheduled events, with or without a "purse" or prize. Not every event need to be a tournament.

B-Have the potential new Player Run Town (PRT) constantly populated (time frame? shifts?)

C-Have many features in the town to draw others in and spark interest
1-Rune Library
2-A fully tended tavern/inne (with PC bartender & serving wenches)
3-services/training schedule for crafters
a-take this further by offering special houses for each craft/skill
b-invite crafting guilds to join the town, hence vendors

The meeting closed due to the time.

One idea that struck me after leaving the meeting are the ammount of vendors that could pop up in this new PRT--which may generate some major lag. And we all know Lag is the great killer of all. I feel one, rather large house, may be dedicated as a "mall" so to speak. This will take major cooperation.

Another idea is policing the area. House Wars can be an issue here (particularly if the PRT is in Felucca). There may need to be a "goon squad" or our own dedicated set of guards to ensure citizen and patron safety.

And finally, a Town Council may be necessary. Plus, how do we regulate the citizens? What if someone decides to sell his/her house within the PRT? Many different situations could kill a rather wonderful town.

As with all grand adventures and ideas, this will take much planning and coordination. Everyone at the meeting agreed, the key ingredient to this whole venture is PARTICIPATION!

More to come in this thread as the situation develops.
