This idea has been floating around my mind for quite sometime and I had a few discussions with other players before. Essentially the idea is to allow players to host their own local events via submitting an "Event" to an event hall, where the CM could help them advertise it and organize a timeslot for them. Additionally, to encourage players to host events/develop their village some sort of "scoreboard" can be put in place. I will explain the details below:
Event HallThe event hall is essentially just a place where players can submit an "Event Slot Request", and see what events are scheduled. When a player submits a request, it could include details like : Name of event, When, Which Village, Who's hosting it and so on; all the CM has to do is to just allocate a slot or deny the event (if its too inappropriate), and if need be - depending on the size, they could advertise it as well as a "main event". Thus allowing players to host their own events where they can celebrate whatever they like to. Different types of events can also be scheduled as well, for an example a ranging from weekly get-togethers, to monthly pvp battles or even 1 time huge events (like what CMs are doing atm);
Village FameIn order to encourage players to host events and circulate the economy, players should be incentivised to spend money and effort into their events. The "Village Fame" is a new mechanic that aims to do just that by having a scoreboard that keep tracks of which village is the most "popular" at the time. Players can increase their village fame by hosting events or how they interact with neighbours; therefore being an indirect measurement of how popular a village is.
Additionally, this means that scoreboards can be used to organize /warp ad, having the most popular village placed closer to the entrance (owners are allowed to pick what they want on there - like stores). Likewise, new players that joined the server can also look at which village is the most active and ask to be part of them.
Additional notes:
- I believe that there is a mathematical formula to determine how fame should be implemented (i.e. decreases over time and so on)
- The event hall idea and the village fame idea are 2 different ideas that compliments each other - does not need to implement both
- Benefits for having higher fame can be changed as well
