Give the city a new face

[Myckaal]

There are 51 links in the city, divided up into 9 different districts. I propose we create more districts, or even create a new city, possibly more than one. Multiple cities would allow different missions based on which one you were in, as well as allowing there to be more districts.

The city looks like this, currently:
Wargrounds 5
Hacking Arena ..... Hardware Shop ..... Equipment ..... Outposts ..... Districts
Community 6
New Forums ..... Chat ..... Mail ..... My Business' Lounge ..... Gangs ..... My Gang
University 5
Facility (training) ..... NPC Fights ..... Study ..... The Server Hangout ..... Capacity Scout
Badlands 3
Use Ref Points ..... Restore Energy ..... Make Energy Charges
Residential 5
Cyber-Wars' Best ..... Monuments ..... Gang Hall of Fame ..... Jail ..... Fortune Cookie
Governmental 5
Clock Tower ..... Ip Multi ..... Suicide Booth ..... Referrals ..... Energy Charges
Career District 6
Intent ..... Hack into the Bank ..... Go Hacking ..... Study Hacking ..... Stats Distribute ..... PC Hacking
Downtown 8
The Bank ..... The Market ..... The Casino ..... Donator Points ..... Terminator Points ..... Staff/Admin ..... Vote for Cyber-wars ..... Game Rules
Underground 7
Grid ..... Wiki ..... Link 2 us ..... Fan Art ..... Fan Mail ..... Facebook ..... MySpace

I would like to see it reorganized a bit. Perhaps more like this:

North America:

Commercial
Hardware Shop ..... Equipment ..... Outposts ..... Districts .....
Hall Of Records
Cyber-Wars' Best ..... Monuments ..... Gang Hall of Fame .....Gangs .....
Combat Zone
Hacking Arena ..... NPC Fights (1 through 5) ..... Suicide Booth ..... Grid .....
Industrial Complex
Use Ref Points ..... Restore Energy ..... Make Energy Charges .....Businesses .....
University
Alpha and Beta Facility ..... Study IQ ..... Study Hacking ..... Wiki .....
Downtown
Jail ..... The Server Hangout ..... Capacity Scout ..... The Bank .....
Residential
Fan Art ..... Fan Mail ..... Facebook ..... MySpace .....
Uplink Tower
Hack into the Bank ..... Hack Lyn’s PC or the Cyber bank ..... PC Hacking (max 100 skill) ..... Vote for Cyber-wars .....
Communications Node
New Forums ..... Chat ..... Mail ..... My Gang .....
The Waterfront
The Market ..... The Casino ..... Fortune Cookie ..... Link 2 us ..... Stats Distribute .....
Administration Center
Clock Tower ..... Ip Multi ..... Referrals ..... Staff/Admin ..... Game Rules .....
Downtown
Intent ..... Energy Charges ..... Donator Points ..... Terminator Points .....

Then, once the player has reached a specific level, have a small notice come up on the page that says "new uplink location found" and then a link or three to other locations appear on the side bar, like:

South America: (opens at level 25)

Peru
New Hardware Shop ..... Equipment ..... Interviews ..... Districts .....
The Amazon Basin
Hacking Arena ..... NPC Fights (5 through 10) ..... Special Mission ..... Vote for Cyber-wars .....
Brazil
Delta and Gamma Facility ..... Hack into the Bank ..... Hack the CIA or the FBI ..... PC Hacking (max 300 skill) .....

And of course there should be more than just one or two cities still able to access the 'net .....

United Kingdom: (accessed at level 50)

Commercial
New Hardware Shop ..... Equipment ..... Battleship ..... Districts .....
Arena District
Hacking Arena ..... NPC Fights (10 through 15) ..... Special Mission ..... Vote for Cyber-wars .....
Uplink Tower
Theta Facility ..... Hack into the Bank ..... Hack Scotland Yard or the IMF ..... PC Hacking (max 500 skill) .....


Maybe have the various gangs have to declare a city as their "home" and give them a bonus when attacking other players in their same home city.

If none of this appeals to you, then how about at least adding some more flash and color to the place?

sounds interesting, but it might take alot of coding ? (correct me on that as im not a coder)

but +1 if it can be done

[Ozy {DD}]

If a Dwarf says "sounds interesting" who am I to diss it !!

+1 (but needs more details of what you want to do with it !)

exactly, this idea has been fully dwarf certified. A highly valued independant evaluator.

I'm still not entirely sure what this update would add to the game, so could you flesh it out a bit to explain to poor, dumb old rusty what you mean? (then again, at least you're trying to think up updates for this comp )

+1. It's pretty useful as it is now, why bother adding more garbage to the code when it works fine?

[Myckaal]

The idea is to give at least the impression of accomplishment. Once you're high enough level or rank to reach something, the old location is still there, but you go to a different one now because you're more advanced.

The idea of rearranging the city goes with my idea of adding a couple more districts to compete for. Perhaps make a few new district bonuses or have some that have no reward.
