There I was, telling myself I'd join one or two events a month. 2 events down and I can't resist the urge to log back in again!
The reunion event, seeing all the old builds, lit a spark inside me that I am now debating to either nurture or let die.
That's what this thread is about.
In short: I am considering making a new region.
Now, I remember that the mainstream reaction to such things has always been along the lines of: "Oh gods, not another one, ewl."
So I'm not just gonna go ahead and do whatever I want. Yet, I also want to make clear that in the past I've tried to add something new, innovative, and unprecedented with each region.
Not to boast, but to prove the point that I like to experiment with new stuff, go through this list of regions I've made in the past:
Now, after hopefully making sure a new region is perceived in a positive light, we get to the actual point of this thread:
What new region? What's new? What does it have that others don't have? Why do we need it?
The last point is of the essence. Why do we need a new region? Or let's rephrase: What do we need in Altera that we do not already have and which this new region can provide?
And that's why I'm making this thread. I've mulled it over and I've found I can't just go and do this alone and hope for the best, figuring it will all work out. If I'm gonna do this, I will do as much as I can to ensure its success. Its success is entirely dependant upon how it's received by everyone. So, what do you think you'll enjoy most? I've listed five options in the poll for you to vote on (3 votes possible to indicate top 3).
To help me and in turn yourself; please vote.
That spark inside me, I'm either going to grow it into a flame and have fun making a region, or I'm gonna let it be and take a step back. It's up to you, really.
If you have new ideas of your own, just post them in a reply and I'll count hearts of your idea as votes for it.
If I added an idea that has already been made, please also point that out. No use spreading the same idea over several places.
I hope there'll be some enthusiasm around some of these ideas. Feel free to discuss and talk about it. Let's see what we can come up with!

Not to boast, but to prove the point that I like to experiment with new stuff, go through this list of regions I've made in the past:
- Eventine: I introduced a hard-core colony RP and a Skilling Minigame-system that I remember fondly. I never quite experienced anything like what we created there together.
- Nid Arach: Changing the game of Dungeoneer adventures and evil RP. It has since become a legacy place.
- Quelony: A town solely built upon quests. That didn't take off so well and I learned from it.
- Frostwarts (Part of the Halbed region) : I created an environment of teaching and discussing all sorts of topics. Like Nid Arach, I regard it as a legacy place.
