Kitely Forums

hey folks, just a quick note to let you know I will be closing the in-world store for maybe a few weeks. I have been coming to the slow realization that I have left nowhere near enough space for my medieval stuff and so a complete rethink is in order.

I will leave the store online for the next few days just in case someone wants to stop by and look at something, but then it will be gone for a while.

You ran out of space ?
What did you do !

lol, well I didn't run out of space per se. I want to build a large medieval town to showcase my roleplay stuff and maybe even to grow into a small community over time. I realized those two things don't have to be mutually exclusive if I organize myself a little better.

In the end I would like to have my "store" or at least a place where people can view things in a categorized and labelled manner up in the sky somewhere, with the ground level used as more of a community space.

So I need a castle, a church or chapel of some kind I guess, plenty of buildings, some outlying farmland........and thats just for the first sim.

I dont have space for that.

Somedays I feel like I am spamming this part of the forums you know . Where are the other merchants posting?

Well, my store is closed now, but anyone who joins the Worlds End Customer Support Group can still get access. I would welcome people dropping in from time to time to give me feedback, suggestions or whatever.

The plan is to turn the ground level from a showroom into a medium sized residential medieval town complete with its own castle. The idea is if I can find 12 residents willing to pay between 1-2$ per month for a home, I will expand to the next "tier" level and add surrounding villages and wild areas. As the community grows, so can the surrounding lands. The town will be build to have a maximum population of 50.





Not much to show right now. The cave complex and mountain from the previous build survived. I have been making some prototype houses which I think are close to done now. Eventually in this sim I want to have a wealthy residential and commercial area, a slightly more run down slum part of town and some farmlands with cottages. Come the time to expand, I would maybe add two small farming hamlets, but leave the rest as wildlands for adventuring in.

I finally got round to starting a blog!

Really starting to shape up now.......

I am picking up your blog for my blogroll -- SE

Well, I am sure everyone here knows the exciting news by now

But the more relevant news regarding Worlds End for the Kitely community is that the "store" is now open again. Even though I still have quite a bit to do before even the architectire is done, I have been having a few requests and questions so figured its best to just re-open.

As some of you might know, I am trying to run my region more as a roleplay and residential area than a store. Houses start at 300KC a month for a small cottage, to around 900KC for a manor house. Early adopters will get bonuses such as a stipend of game coin relative to your rent payments, first call on owning in-game businesses and a bunch of other stuff I am still working through. Pay 6 months rent or more in advance and get a free set of basic C/M furnishings including a bed, table, chairs, shelves and chests free!

The roleplay aspects of the sim are non-existent right now, partly because of time and partly because I want what happens to be decided by the community. My dream is of a very open, inclusive, friendly and welcoming network of people and sim owners who share a basic set of cannon and rules that allow for maximum creativity, social interaction and fun.

A couple of days ago I received the not so great news that I will have to move countries again or potentially lose my job……... I don't want to move, so it looks like the latter. This means I really wont have much time for anything community focused for the next few months, as I need to focus on completing as many half finished products as possible.

However in “solidarity” with the April hunt team, I will be placing a few hidden free items around my store tonight. I will post again when that is ready.

If there are any community issues or projects where people think I can be of direct help, I will of course do what I can. I anticipate less inworld time and I just cant take an active role in anything much for now until I am a bit clearer about what is going to happen over the next 6-12 months.

Well, I liked it, but I think it is a like and unlike, sorta.

I hope things work out well for you and sorry for stepping on your commercial thread to say so.
