Best room nobody goes to

If it's no bug or an idea, but it's still MUD-related, it goes here.

Best room nobody goes to

For me it's definitely the Elvandar Ballroom. Does anyone even know this room exists? It's awesome and never used at all for anything.

Any rooms in secret and underplayed guilds. Especially that room.

It could be used more for festivals. Has anyone ever seen Luminier dancing ... formally?

Luminier nods formally.
Luminier dances formally.
Luminier enters the mens room formally.
Luminier thrusts his long wooden rider lance at your torso formally.

I would think a royal ballroom be used for royalty, not just some rabble off the street or for some festival, unless the royals celebrated the festival as well.

Gwen's hut.

Eleassa keeps looking for people there, but Denma never sees anyone.

In regards to empty Gwen hut, I would like to write something.

From Gwen helpfile
Gwen is a good goddess. Her domains include love and balance.
Gwen characters have it quite hard. The whole setup of the game favours combat character types more than non-combat characters, so you (if you are a Gwen char) depend on other characters to roleplay/interact with you a lot more, if you decide you want to roleplay a pacifist character character concept. (I can't see Gwen chars roleplaying aggro character concepts really ...)

Typically most other characters would be occupied with hunting or PvP (and sometimes socialiazing). There is no clergy for Gwen right now, so no access to any miracle. Not even a cure miracle ... you could sing songs like the soul song to heal others, but non-Gwen chars can do exactly the same as well. You could try to provide others with potions, but as far as I know you will have to kill animals for that and perhaps even have to sell potions for money rather than give them away for free. But even if that would be different, other character concepts can do the same and probably be more effective as well if they spent a lot of time training.

In my opinion it would be much better to give playerchars who want to play Gwen clerics a very few miracles now, rather than wait before the whole Gwen clergy is added with all the miracles. Because the latter one is a lot of work, whereas a 1-3 miracles are something really, really trivial given that there are already 3 other clergies in the game since many years.

Give Gwennies a base to operate from (all the descriptions can be provided by the Gwen players), give them a board to communicate with each other - they don't even need a gemline to start with. But a board is very important.

Now, a Gwen char can go and train up of course, by fighting ... but it doesn't seem to fit.

So that leaves you with less things to do, and less other characters to interact with as well.

I know for certain that Denma has access to a few miracles.. wonder how that's set up.

Now, this is just me, but I don't think the game really needs an actual clergy for Gwen.

Anything I can possibly imagine Gwen clerics doing...the Taniel Clergy and the Druids can already do. In addition, the Druids were meant to be changed into an Evrenite Clergy, which does make a fair amount of sense, seeing as they were messed up, bugged out, and obsolete. It has not been done yet, and I cannot see it happening in the foreseeable future. There were characters that waited a SHITLOAD of time for such a conversion to happen, and eventually gave up and went off in another direction. To pull this all together: I think it's much more important for an Evren Clergy to be converted/created than it is for a Gwen clergy.

Moving on to another comment about Gwennie characters:
There have been plenty of Gwen-following characters who engaged in combat, and were able to kick the snot out of my characters for ages. Gwennies aren't forced to be pacifists. You want a forced pacifist with no combat interaction? Try being a druid, where I believe you actually lose favour if you kill anything.

Also, the waterfall in the area where marbles comes from is pretty damn badass.

I disagree with Andreati, although I would like the Evren clergy as well. But a little variety never hurts - maybe the Gwen cleric doesn't do much that a Taniel can't do, yet still not everyone might want to play a Taniel cleric.
