Following on from a post I made in the LoN a few months back that got lost in the archives, and what I mentioned on my version of the Piratecraft Map, I thought i might revive my idea of World Wonders and Places of Interest.

Now, there are many epic builds across the server; some have won the BOTM, some have won recognition across the server, and some have still yet to be made and discovered. I felt that we need some way of documenting these amazing builds, truly ‘wonders’. Sure we have the screenshot forum, and the recognition from winning competitions, but I would love to put them on my map and have them all in one place.

However, its not as straight forward as ‘people who are good at building get to have their own world wonder’.  This is where the crews come in. My suggestion is, that each crew on the server should be limited to one ‘Place of Interest’ each, and the top 7 (or more) will be classed as a ‘World Wonder’. It would be nice, in my eyes, to see each crew have their top attraction listed and put on my map. There is almost no difference between having a ‘Place of Interest’ or a ‘World Wonder’, except only the top of the top would be picked for the ‘Wonder’ status.

So why only one each? Well it would not be very special of each crew was allowed to have several. Furthermore, you could argue that some of the larger crews such as the Elves would have far more to ‘show’ than the smaller crews. If each crew put forth their best build, it would make it reasonably fair.

Why bother in general? Well why not. I realize ‘tourism’ is not really a thing on this server, but i would still be interested to see what crews have to offer, after all a big part of being in a crew is to stick together in a little community, so a little recognition for the builds of the smaller crews goes a long way . Obviously you don’t have to take part or share your build.

The Rules:

• Only one entry per crew (you will have to decide this among yourselves)
• The ‘Wonder’ must have been built by a member(s) of that crew
• There are no size limitations
• A player, animal, mob or any other mob does not count as a ‘wonder’
• An item also does not class as a ‘wonder’
• The ‘wonder’ must be more or less finished. Obviously it is hard to judge this but my point is I don’t want outlines or future structures, or tales of ‘ancient structures that once existed’. Unlike the real 7 wonders of the ancient world, there must be a build of some sort to see.
• The build can be anything; a statue, a fort, a boat, a lighthouse. Anything that you feel represents your crew, and that members of your crew have agreed on.
• If the member of your crew who own the ‘wonder’ leaves the crew, then the crew will have to seek another attraction, if they wanted to do so.
• Anything that is just stupid, such as a dirt hut will just be ignored

How to ‘enter’ (if you want to call it that):

Post in this forum:

• The name of your crew
• The name of the build
• The coordinates of the build
• (Optional) A description of the build, (eg: Why was it built? When was it built? How does it represent your crew). The more creative, the more interesting in my opinion.

I’m not quite sure how I will sort out who gets the top 7 picks of ‘world wonder’, maybe I can sort something out with the media team @paulonfire . If there are only a few entries, i will not hand out the ‘World Wonder’ thing, and just stick to ‘Place of Interest’.

This is for every crew, no matter the size. The more entries, the better, so get posting! I value opinions and suggestions too, so if you have any, be sure to share.
