abandonded cities | Cities & Towns | Forum

I wondered about this topic the last week or so, myself.

Stated in the rules, somewhere... that any abandoned buildings, chests, or cities that were built by someone who has left, gone elsewhere, or banned become server property.  Thus; dealt with by the server's staff.  Given the nature of population progression, and their own projects to work on, I've noticed a decline in tear-downs.  

When  I say that, it is by no means to be taken insultingly (*fends off the ban hammer*).  Mods are busy, I understand that... just watch the ban reports on a friday afternoon, lmao.

That being said, however... with staff permission, I wouldn't be opposed to seeing old cities being taken over by someone new.  It's 100% (in my opinion) better to start with something that's already been abandoned, than to start a new city with the possibility of abandonment.  It's cruel to look at it that way, but many players don't grasp the concept that their city may, or may not succeed.  Personally, I can't commit to building a "city".  So I simply provide for others, either with work, sculpture, or shilling donations.  

I would much rather see one of the abandoned cities get revamped, and left behind for someone in the future to take over once again, than to see another piece of land get flattened/terraformed/destroyed.  Only to be left behind because m... "oh look, shiny!"
