Auction house- good idea.
Explorable and capping- bad idea
I would like to see a skill trainer with all 3 campaigns core skills. I hate traveling to all 3 campaigns for skills. Especially since i hate factions with a passion.

Might be a bit too much to asked for but Extra Hard Elite Missions would be nice, no? Like...really really hard ones...but...everyone can do them since it's open to everyone =P One can only dream...

/signed (for the second time ._.)

There's just a small problem though...I went into drok's ID yesterday...and I was greeted with WTS spam from the chinese farmers =/ I'm not saying anything about them farming but if they get into this area...that would kinda kill the social...ness ...right?

The main PvE city you're talking about will just become Trading central. People will think, Why bother putting it in an auction, where there is a chance some people won't see it, when you can spam it for everyone in the district to hear?

Perhaps, (although I've not really thought out the pros and cons of it), have a city designed for just people wanting to buy/sell/trade, where they can all spam to their hearts contents.

Even better; whenever people type "WTS" or "WTB" In the 'All' channel of any district, they get shunted to trade town :P

Haha

Anyway, Definitely /signed for a centralised PvE meeting point. It would be a good place to go for people to advertise for other people to help them in quests in less populated areas; for example people could go there asking for help with Maguuma Jungle quests.

yes, maguuma jungle quests are hard -_-

ooo more exploring xD

Implementation: An island chain, similar to Battle Isles. Available for all chapters and reachable only via ship. It exists in its own map, just like the Battle Isles. It would be comprised of a central town and several outposts with small explorable areas in between.

Function:

A place where players can rally and talk to other players, regardless of chapters.

A centralized marketplace (auction house)

A centralized Holiday Event location

A centralized place where Anet employees can chat with the gamers.

A centralized place to recruit or join guilds

Just a place to hang out and go AFK ;D.

Possible place to get special unique quests

Roleplaying Outpost

ADDED:

A centralized place to enter FoW/UW (added by dgb)

A centralized place to craft CORE armors/weapons (added by Winterclaw) and get core skills

Details

The outposts would have small limits on the numbers per district. This way, it doesnt get "crowded". The central town will have large limits.

Perhaps these places could be more "watched" for bad behaviour, since social places can attract some rude people.

the outposts meant for social interaction will have the Trade tab greyed out and have more strict selling filters

Access
The main Hub city will be accessible to EVERYONE from Lion's Arch, Kaineng or Kamadan via quests. Because of this, I expect that the city will turn into spambot central.

This is why the following idea came about: SOME outposts will only be accessible if you have at least 1 Protector title/Grandmaster Cartographer/ or Rank 3. Because this is the PVE social hangout, and I dont want bots and people who get ran everywhere to be able to acccess it easily.

Conclusion

dont sign
add to it
subtract from it
share your thoughts

PS: If you like this idea, rate this thread ;D

I mostly like it, except for the bolded part. I agree that there should be a way to get out spammers and bots, but I don't strive for titles. I am sure other people are like me and don't go for those big fancy titles, that is pretty much denying them some fun.

Maybe it is only accessable to people who have completed at least one of the games main quest chain.

/signed if that part is removed from requirements

I like this idea. I think someone mentioned shunting WTS/WTB spammers to a trade town, I say boot them. New error code err455 - You have been disconnected from the server for using trade/spamming in the all channel.
Sure people will come up with things that go around the filter, but if you keep updating the filter a good proportion of people will realise that being booted isn't worth their time.

The central island idea is great.

This is definatley a dream though. There's so much happening atm with updates upcoming holiday events etc. that something this large will not happen soon enough. The only way they could possibley handle this is if they incorperated(spelling) it into the next expansion/new expansion update. (like the nightfall skill balancing)

Had an idea like this for awhile. Tried suggesting it when Gaile was in Kamadan but this is a much better way for the devs to see it.

It would be nice to have a center town where a little bit of every chapter moves into to create a really unique look.

Redfeather1975 · Nov 20, 2006, 06:06 AM // 06:06

I wanted them to add a central hub with a unique storyline that involved acquiring and filling bounty contracts on NPC bosses all throughout the game.
Then you could get ranks and reward items for finding a boss and killing it/getting it's green or subdueing it with a special skill you learn on the island.
Call it Bounty Isle or something. I don't know.
Just to say again...the contracts would be for any NPC boss, in any campaign. You can pick and choose depending on your bounty rank and what campaign(s) you have. I think it would offer some neat replay value of older campaigns too.

Thargor · Nov 20, 2006, 08:24 AM // 08:24

This is a good idea and i hope they do make something like this. Of course the main reason I hope it gets made is based on one hope. I hope that all the idiots spamming their overpriced junk will go there and spam all day so I don't have to see it when I walk thru a town. I will probably never visit this place but I will /sign this all day long if it gets rid of half of the idiot spammers.
