If you could add one island to the game with a structure (like a town, fortress, tower, park, statue, etc.) What would you add?
I would add a small town in the central Bronze Sea, probably southwest of Munera, called The Merchant’s Tavern. It’s a medium sized island, around twice the size of Sailor’s Lodge, and functions in a similar way. Players, no matter what renown, are welcome here as long as they don’t commit warcrimes.
The thing is a small man-made island with several buildings on it, but mainly a hub with a bar. The usual shop NPCs spawn nearby, while merchant NPCs that are non-attackable, are randomly generated sitting in the tavern, functioning similarly to ship NPCs, they sell stuff. They could also have specific professions, such as fishermen selling fish.
This could also be a place where auctioneers had a purpose.
Merchant NPCs ships also spawn or dock here, and they are attackable as always. There’s are also NPCs offering quests, and ofc there’s common stuff like cooking pots, cauldrons, jewel crafting stations, bounty boards and sponsors.
There also might be a fs mentor.
Finally, there are Guards: NPCs that guard the tavern, and if a player attacks npcs or players, the guards will be alerted and attack the player, regardless of renown, tho they will prioritize negative renown players. Guards are arranged into 4 tiers: level 20, 60, 100 and 130.
