Gregarious Grange Towers- The Emptiness, The Possibilities!

My travels today had me crossing Gregarious Grange today, so for the first time I saw the old Gregarious Towers in all it's broken glory. I looked inside and was pretty amazed at the emptiness and that the floors were pretty spacious. 

The following thoughts came into my head while I was jumping all around:

1. Has anyone thought of using the floors for a massive market style get together to sell or even barter and trade items that they have made. With the amount of space it would seem that that would be the perfect place to do something like that.

2. If i recall correctly those secret rooms that people have come across were once (or maybe still are) inhabited by a specific Group, so how come none of the Groups have laid claim to a floor, or just wanted to have a massive get together in Glitch instead of the mini Group Forums for once?

3. If anyone remembers the Greater Groddle Garbage Dump, that was a pretty nifty idea, though sometimes you did have a Glitch or two that would take more than they leave, but it allowed for a sort of treasure hunting pile of ordinary or extraordinary things to be found. Plus, if someone didn't want something anymore it's a great place to chuck it. After all one Glitch's cubimal could be another's Lutwig Doll. :) Again, the space in that abandoned Tower could be perfect for something like that as well.

All in all, I'm just amazed at the possibility that the space there has for the potential of great things. If I was able to get on more, then maybe I would try to have something happen, but, instead I throw out these ideas to you all! For you to consider, ignore, or do! 

Also, if no one's seen it yet, I'm Chris has also started talking about what can be done over at the Towers

  • I dropped a few things in an old apartment block yesterday. It seems like we could make a game or something out of it if we wanted to. Barring that a market might work - but our streets are so easily accessible that it's handy just to use them.

  • This is a great idea, but only if you add that some kind of catastrophe happened and the abandoned apartment blocks are the only remaining vestige of civilization.

  • I just visited the ruins.  It would make a fantastic place for an event, especially a market. "Third floor,collectibles" "Second floor herbs, seeds & potions"   etc.
    I love places like that.

  • Love the ideas you've proposed.  Would also be awesome if folks held those 'lets all get together' events there...ie, candy exchanges at Zilloween, etc.  It gets players off the main thoroughfares so that others aren't lagging when they pop out of the subway or onto those streets accidentally, but are still easily accessible to anyone who wants to participate.  I've often thought they would make great 'in Ur' party locations.  If they had a few more stacked items, they could have been great locations for hide and seek...but alas, not quite there yet.

  • I ran into people running a secret restaurant in one of those places. Not sure how often they're open for business though.

  • as a former resident of the towers, i'd like to offer my full support of a revitalization drive. either that or a post-apocalyptic styled survival community as suggested by (appropriately named) girlthulu!
