@DAISHI I think you have me mistaken; I wasn't asking you to run anything or be totally committed to the idea and willing to organize any work yourself, I wasn't asking for someone to do this for my jollies either, I was asking for people to respond, which you have, -for the good of all of us- especially our new people and the people to come.
@Everyone else:
1. As DAISHI said, this is to be a meet up point, or several meet up points, simple enough that if anyone ever asks 'Where's the RP hub on -blah-' You can tell them one of these locations instead of giving 'maybe these six places'. It's not where you have to spend the rest of your life.
2. I agree the guilds are too busy, I just thought it was the best place for people to bump into anyone if they were new and not part of the RPC. So, the side towns sound find. Busy or no, people will at least be moving in and out of them and not crafting for an hour.Â
3. On the matter of changing it up every week-- Certainly, we could do that. But the RP at those places would probably be encouraged to continue, otherwise they're not hubs. If there's more than three, maybe even more than one, we'll be spread awfully thin, don't you think?
So the three immediate areas outside the majority city-states, Gridania is low traffic but the other two aren't. As long as people won't be standing in the building for huge amounts of time we won't be a big distraction to them and nor them to us. I think it does help to be in a place with some traffic, and it will likely subside a bit after people have started getting towards cap again and things die down.
