Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) Rebuilding Esteron's Market in SouthEast Xanadu Esteron Market is restored once more! There has been a resurgence in activity in the Esteron region of Xanadu and a boost in the economy is needed. As such we thought it the perfect time to resurrect the decaying Esteron Market located directly East of the Esteron spawn point. It's our hope to return it to its former glory, paying homage to the original layout while adding our own touch and expanding to the market's full potential in the process. Help Your Community, Help Yourself Obviously it's a bit difficult for an alt to build a deed starting out. I will do what I can, but I'm also hoping to get some help from the Esteron community in rebuilding a Market for the area. Everyone will benefit with more commerce. What can you do specifically? Donations of building materials such as stone bricks and mortar are greatly appreciated. As well as donation of skills and/or time to plan out and build the EMarket structures. In thanks, I will create some sort of maintained perim monument (to be determined, open to suggestions) to those who helped out along with a forum post including everyone's player name. If you're interested in helping out please get in touch through messages here on the forum or /tell Araninke, Araninco, Kelpie or Jotun in-game. The following are some DeedPlanner views of the proposed new generation Esteron Market...

Posted October 31, 2015 This sounds like a wonderful idea, the SE part of Xanadu needs a market. Cambriaa and I can help provide materials as well as help with the actual building of the structures. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That'd be great Polojordan! Might not be in-game again until tomorrow. But let me know when is good for you and will arrange things at some point. Either of you have the masonry skill needed to plan stone buildings? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 3, 2015 As I live in this area, I would like to assist in building. Can provide materials as well. I got 69 masonry and 88 carpentry. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please let me know when you might be available to bring by materials and/or help us rebuild. I have everything planned out in DeedPlanner if you wanted to take a look. Pretty much sticking with the original blueprint with a few changes to make it more symmetrical as well as expanding to the Southern side of the highway. There will be a small inn with private quarters as well as beds to rent upstairs. There is also a terrace to the East below the Market... what are thoughts on using it for a temple, new player apartments, etc?

Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) There's actually a handful of us at the Market right now whipping it into shape! Thanks for your help Polojordan, Cambriaa, Merumbra and Beastwolf. Pretty amazing what can be accomplished in a short amount of time in Wurm when folks come together. Edited November 4, 2015 by Araninke 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 4, 2015 Glad to be helping out We'll be back tonight most likely to do more! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) Thanks again to everyone who has been helping to rebuild the Esteron Market! We already have 2 buildings up, minus the roof. Redexorcist graciously agreed to supply us with some slate shards. I'm also very grateful for a delivery of bricks and mortar this evening from Dozensl! The market will be rebuilt in no time at this rate. Edited November 7, 2015 by Araninke 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 13, 2015 Over the next couple days myself and a few others will be there working on the market, material donations would be greatly appreciated! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 19, 2015 I'm happy to say the rebuilding of the market is coming along nicely with about half of the buildings completed thus far (minus roofs). Please get in touch if you are interested in helping out either through labor, donation of materials or both! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 22, 2015 New buildings going up on the South side of Esteron Market! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 26, 2015 It's a work party! There's half a dozen or so of us at the Esteron Market right now continuing to build it back to its former glory. Feel free to swing by with extra materials or come lend a hand if you want to help out. It will be awesome to have a major market in the area once again. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 30, 2015 Lookie there! We actually have some roofs on the market buildings! Working on lamps and soon enough we'll be accepting merchants. Be sure to get your contracts in order. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 3, 2015 Did you take over Esteron Araninke, or just rebuilding it? I lived down southeast area for most of my playtime on Xan, and it was so dead down there. I basically left the game because I'd soured on it all, and then my RL situation went all crazy too. I'm wondering if my caravel or anything is even still down yonder. (Directly south from T23, I parked it way out in the ocean so people would have a hard time looting anything still left when it went that it dropped when it did go.) From the looks of the game, it's going the way of the dodo anyway, so I dunno whether I'll be coming back anyway. Just curious I suppose... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tried obtaining the writs to the old Esteron Market but they never surfaced. I ended up waiting it out and re-deeded a new Market in the same spot that we are currently busy rebuilding. It's more than half done and looking great! Yes, the Southeast has been quiet for some time. But there are new players moving in all the time. We now have quite an active alliance in the area called Kingdom of Esteron. I'm sure you'd be more than welcome to join us if you decided to foray into Wurm again. I'm not sure about your Caravel... I've haven't been down that way recently myself. Let us know if you are ever in the area again! Edited December 3, 2015 by Araninke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 13, 2015 Well, I'd been pondering coming back, but I posted something over there in that 'Plan for a Plan' thread, and some control freak with powers removed my comment....so that clinched my decision-making process. I don't take kindly to censorship/people who try and cover up the 'bad' things going on. Especially when the dev/creator himself is asking for suggestions on things they could improve to stop losing paid members (Such as myself.) and I gave a well versed suggestion on the matter. Hope you folks have fun. Enjoy your Wurming while it lasts! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
