Only one entry for Green Dog, but that just makes it easy!

Deed plan must fit in with surrounding areas to look somewhat natural to the region :
This entry is heavily based on the current Green Dog design, keeping both history and effort alive as well as showing what can be done in wurm.


    Fencing along deed borders :
Deed is totally fenced in, excluding road and water way access, the core center of the deed with the token is well protected. Allowing enough protections for new players while keeping an open area feeling


    Religion Representation and trader locations :
A whole new temple is accessible near the token (including altars of the new and old faiths), on the other side of the token will be the bartenders and traders. Keeping both religion and economic matters right next to each other as Deliverance  always used to do.
Recruitment Board and mailbox will be available as well in that core center. Allowing easy access to deeds for new players as well as an easy location to find a mailbox.

 

   Meditation :

Current land design allow us to have both PoK and PoL tiles on deed. Design and setting will allow to keep those available for every player seeking to level their meditation. Those tiles being often removed otherwise by new players or neighbors.


    Fantastic Portal :
Will be placed on the west side of the deed, towards chaos and the PvP lands, a reminder of Deliverance location and how it influenced deeds on the whole west coast.


    Crafting buildings :
The existing building will be used for that purpose, allowing new and old players to work inside it, forges, oven and looms will be provided and improved at a sufficient QL.


    Sleeping quarters :
Beds will be included on the first floor of the old community center and inside the new horses' pen and inn. Allowing once again new and old players to rest or log off when a restart happens.


    Examples of farmland or animals raised :
Farmland are kept as existing on the actual GD design.


   Look and feeling desired :
Deliverance is one of the old servers nowadays, many plans and changes have been done around green dog, the surrounding market place and overall area. Keeping that history alive is important to us and as such the most important features of the deed will be preserved as well as improved to show what is deliverance nowadays.


Water and delians, Deliverance have plenty of water bodies but none of them were properly connected to the sea. We worked in the past years to fix that with canals, cave canals and nowadays bridges. Green Dog had to show this which is showed by the new river surrounding the city center. Attention will be taken to prevent drowning by allowing easy climbing from the said river. Signs will warn the new players about drowning.


Creativity, once again Deliverance got plenty of interesting towns and even with the limitation on walls we had to show some respect to the great deeds of the past with their crazy design, terraforming and buildings. This is the main idea with the new town center, impressive enough while being lag free.

 

Some trees will be present near the deed borders to allow any damage on the perimeter to be reduced over time. Lawn / deed design / oaks and willows will prevent excessive spreading while keeping a natural look for the area, as well as allowing those tiles to be foraged/botanized.

 

A small resort with a focus on sitting and chilling around enjoying the view of the southern lake and the mountain in the back ground will be created near the PoL tile. Emphasis on trellis, hedges, statues and potentially bushes will be used to show the delians ties to natural looking areas and how they improved them over the years.

Alright, because I'm lazy to make an official forum notice, just announcing here that the work on Green Dog is started.

Which means that yes, Wilca, Darmalus, Yaga and myself (who have been spotted in local a few times) are behind this project. (Also means we are the ones digging holes in green dog, rest assured, you can still use the deed as normal, if you don't mind the shoveling sound).

 

Many thanks to Enki, Jberg/Logi, Tarrisa who helped us set shop, move things around (saving as much of old GD as possible) and destroy things (and remove those pesky GM protected tiles).

 

A few things can be done to help, like fixing the surroundings, working on the perimeter canal, or donating one banner per PMK to illustrate Deliverance direct ties to Chaos... or at least as it used to be before the plotting course.

Aye, trouble is, none of us are the deed owner / mayor, so we cannot set the perms on our own and we totally understand why the non citizens ones are still locked.

 

As mentioned though, the perimeter can use some love. Smoothing the land - adjusting the slopes and area look to the new deed design.

More thread hijacking... today's called : walk toward the light! Deli new rift beam perfectly inline with the new road and beach (bottom left corner of the picture in OP).

 

Progress are going as well as our shovel damages show, the water ways are taking shape one of them being 'mostly' done.

Yes, the place look like a war zone, but I swear it's coming along nicely... now just imagine it with less dirt around and more grass.

After a long night of work, trickery, magic and slightly annoying rock layer, we are proud to present you our latest production :

 

GM in the mist.

No GM were harmed in the process, Enki might lack some sleep though. Huge thanks for all the help again.

potatoe quality as usual. Yaga do better screenshots than I do.

 

Also, we are at that part of the job where most of the work is done and we are pondering the decorations.

Totally love the discrete mosaics in the port.

I have played around a bit with pavings in Deed Planner and just love the possibilities that opens for deco!

Just came to see Green Dog for myself...Looks great, nicely done you guys...I think the most eye catching was those man-sized statue of nymphs...The gold dye was a BEAUTIFUL!!! Also, I thought this was oddly out of place, but two silver lamps seem placed rather odd lol :P I can't wait to see some of the other starter deeds...

I wish the new green dog had some nice big pens where people could drop off spare horses and pets for newbies. It would need real grass.

There is a pen area behind the Inn where animals can be kept.

Aye, forgot to ask a GM to move them, they are locked in place (from when GD used to be a bit bigger).

Not that many newbies around sadly, most of the accounts we have seen while working on GD were traders alt. but yes, we have a spot for horses / grazers.

I like the diverse building selection, for freedom a display of multiple building types makes sense and looks great.

 

ofc on pvp servers everything should be stone.
