Hi all,
I haven't been playing on ECC for very long, but the first thing I thought when I joined was "this is pretty awesome". But I had some difficulty trying to figure out which city was the best to try and join.

That led me to think it would be kind of a cool idea to have a gate area that changed every 2 or 3 weeks that had gates to "featured cities". These cities would some how be voted on for different features. I imagine having 3 or 4 at a time would be pretty cool.

For instance....
Featured for architecture
Featured for gaming
Featured for farming
Featured for price
ect....

It would basically be a place new players could go to easily find a city that fits what they want.

This would in turn act as a reward for those who really put a lot of time and hard work into their cities...as well as highlight the cities that are active and help keep them active by stimulating them with new residents.

With that said there would obviously have to be a few rules. Please add or take away what you like, but mine would be:
1. A city can only be featured once every 3 months
2. City must be active (3+ residents online within the last 24 hours)
3. City must fit in an appropriate category

That pretty much raps up my idea, hope you like it, please be constructive and let me know what you think!

Thanks!

 

I'm not sure how much work it would be to manage but i'm talking specifically about a grouping of town portals that would have to be reconfigured every 2 or 3 weeks when the next featured cites take their place.
