I was thinking, after seeing the Inn thread, why not have a whole town/city (new to this forum), I mean, knights need to live as well as fight. Before I draw out maps with buildings etc, I would like to hear what you think.

1. Is this a good idea (obviously)
If yes:
2. Where should the town be?
3. What buildings should there be?
4. Do you have anything else to add?
If no:
a. What is wrong about this idea?
b. Do you have anything else to add?

Good idea

1. Yes
2. Probably right
3. Different houses for all the knights, and maybe an arena for some PvP
4. Sunny, but stormy in the arena place.

Some ideas

Why not make a new zone to the right of the center of haven called the "Commons" within the commons would be a knights living quarters where players could customize their rooms and display artifacts etc, players could invite friends to their rooms if they wanted to hang out and have a conversation without any interruption.

The second thing within this zone would be of course the guild hall access where players could enter their respective guild halls and hang with guildies

The third and final item within the commons would be the Inn and this would service as the new social hub for new recruits to meet one another and join up before they venture down into the clockworks

I greatly appreciate your

I greatly appreciate your idea, but just one thing I'm not sure of - what do you mean by right in the centre of the haven, could you give more details on the location please.

Sat, 02/11/2012 - 17:49

Tovvok

Not in the centre

It would be directly across from the bazaar, on the other side of the auction

@OP:

1. Yes
2. To the right; there's nothing there as of now.
3. (+1) Arena would be interesting, perhaps we could actually see where the Locker Rooms are for LD/BN instead of being some remote random location?

Not sure about the Knights' rooms...+-0.

Definitely Guild Halls if they become customizable (See point 8). +1

4. The Arena would change its weather. It already does when you play LD depending on the map you get. The new area would have the same weather as the Town Square/Bazaar.

Updated

Updated. Also, Tovvok, since it is your idea could you please do a whole new thread on the arena since it was your idea?

EDIT: Also, would anyone like doing the maps after I have suggested all the rooms?

EDIT 2: Sorry, I meant EvilOddish

Cool

I say +1 this. It is something people I have seen suggesting from a while (guild spaces, the room from the commons thingy). Also, the Sports minigame thing would be a nice way to expand PvP for the ones who liked Blast Network (me, for example, though I played so little).

Something to add? Maybe the Spiral HQ could have a database about all enemies, lore, etc for the people interested on it. It could be used as a sort of bestiary too, and maybe even being able to see their attack patterns. Maybe even simulate them for training in a nearby area, which is something people also requested.

Oh, personal rooms and such could also expand CE sales, if furniture was bought with it, like in OOO's other games.

Wonderful ideas!

This "Spiral Empire" stuff might just do great in the game! I envy you for these great ideas!

Spiral City? Haven!

I oppose!

Also, Spiral Empire? We have taken over Cradle!? That makes another reason to oppose!

Ok, thanks. In the Spiral

Ok, thanks. In the Spiral Empire, I was thinking there could be downfalls, and then it could lead to Spiral Knights only being able to control the Haven (basically the empire is lost within one mission).

Tovvok didn't come up with the arena

he only mentioned the commons, I would love to see a branching out for the small foothold we have on cradle. I mean it is an entire planet, would it not be too far fetched to have a place beyond haven (accessible by higher ranked players in the mission system) that offered its that haven would not, like a citedal of some sort?

+1 commons
+1 spiral empire
+1 spiral HQ

I was thinking, why!?

Arena, another, longer way to get to the Collicieum.

If you have noticed this is

If you have noticed this is part of the haven - basically a new area with new buildings. Also, I'm not saying that we should remove the colliseum game interface, I just think the arena would be cool. Would you rather play a load of mini games rolled into a mmorpg or just the mini games which give you no bonus whatsoever?
