The way the Outpost upgrades are being handled is, I think, an amazing depiction of this. Though it does require more ongoing work, it also allows the players to be a bit more involved, or at least feel like they are...
Sure, the outpost approach is amazing. I took the same when making Andunor, but the Outpost was already a brokerage area, and in no way compares to a modest update as with this.
Furthermore I'm just never going to have all my updates decided by the players in that way, and given the amount of back and forth involved my work rate on areas would slow to a near standstill.
I also did massive build up with the other castles, and with guld. And even this, which is really only the addition of some outer walls as far as structural changes is being given 3RL months notice before the final updates and transfer.
There is nothing more I am willing to do here, if you wish advance warning and RP around every single update I make, please keep in mind the sheer scale of them; the outpost is once single area update, over the last 15 years I've done hundreds, (including the original oupost), then you are also asking for area development to effectively cease.
