Sadly, my interest in Glitch did not begin until after the Street Projects had already been completed and played out. I missed out on many badges and a few trophies. Some of the Street Project badges have never been acquired by anyone. I think it is time we brought them back.
But from what I've heard, the Street Projects were something of a problem. As as soon as one opened up, people flocked to it to complete it as quickly as possible. And with how many people that play Glitch, only a few were able to make significant contributions.
I propose that the Street Projects be areas that require player maintenance. And that they be very large streets that offer unique resources such as the ones needed to replace the vendors. Or at the very least, the street should have resources that are more bountiful than the ones currently available. There could even be special super-creatures that only appear once the street is brought to its 100% state. Like a giant piggie that gives copious amounts of meat to those who nibble him.
Each region of Ur could have it's own Project Street that has unique resources that cannot be found elsewhere. And who knows? Maybe if all the Project Streets in every region are at 100%, it could open up the Super-Project Street that has ALL the unique resources from each region's Project Street.
Perhaps the size of the street can grow and grow as people contribute beyond the 100%, allowing it to get taller or longer depending on the kind of street it is. People could even vote on what resources will be added in the next expansion of that Project Street.
Thank you for your time and if this idea has been posted before, I apologize for reposting.
