During NWN's 20th Anniversary, a location was created and released to the Underdark, known as the Dark Bazaar. This held two main map zones for the Bazaar itself, and a few mini map zones for the various tents and features.
This area only existed for the 20th Anniversary events, and was then removed from the server.
The current state of the Dark Bazaar is: Put in a request to use the location, wait for approval, and it may be implemented for the request.
This is an extremely cumbersome process both for an event host to to learn that it 'might' be approved for use and setting up the precise day and time, but also for the team to consistently have to review, push out, and then.. subsequently once more remove.
This area could be considered akin to the Dis Arena, or the Widershin Fairgrounds. Both zones exist on the maps in a perpetual state, they both get occasional use. The maps remain persistently and allow players to create around them as they are inclined to do so.
That is what I am requesting for the Dark Bazaar.
To add the areas in and leave them in the module. Allow them to serve as a player resource for contests and event hosting. They likely won't see a bunch of use, just as the Arena and Fairgrounds do not, and yet the option would become available for players to create around them as they are inclined to do so.
If the concern is fixtures, set them to Fixture Count: 0
If the concern is the dice vendor, remove him.
If the concern is it willl replace the Hub: .. It won't replace the Hub.
If the concern is politics, there's no property management system connected to them so no one settlement can claim hold over use. Allow them to remain 'independent' so that any player can make use of such.
This is the UD match to the Surface Fairgrounds. And while not everything on the server is fair or balanced, nor am I requesting it to be such, I am asking for the ability to have more locations present that we can use for event antics and shenanigans.
This does not require too much Dev or Build work to implement, the locations already exist.
As someone who has hosted dozens of events in the Underdark, I would welcome the opportunity to be able to expand the repertoire of stories and roleplay events that could be utilized in such a location, without having to struggle through the cumbersome process to add and remove areas.
No doubt others would look forward to the same, should such be granted.
