Real camps for the other factions. The Village is quite dominant, and forces the other factions basically into it if wanting to play any "business play" or imagine equivalents.
Pure roleplay areas that are not mixed with residentials, so one can play quests without meeting people in their pyjamas in the morning who wonder why you are crawling that dungeon or labyrinth or such.

I know there is the wayward forest, which I discovered in character was where the fae dwell. I live in the caves underground like the Sidhe of the Hollow Hills or the mounds, however it would be nice for the areas where the fae are to be found to feel more mystical and enchanted, Irish folklore says '"For all the hillside was haunted By the faery folk come again And down in the heart-light enchanted Were opal-coloured men" AE'. I love the stone circle..that is where I tend to go as it has that other-worldly and magical feel to it. So yes I'm in agreement with Shayriel, although I don't actually mind there being homes in those areas, I think most would choose to live where their character would naturally dwell so would expect fae, piskie and nymphs to be living in the fae area for instance. Perhaps then in specific areas an NPC with specific food for rp catering to different factions and races! Thank you for asking us!

...

That above was two points: 1) Set camps of factions and 2) Pure RP areas that are not mixed with residentials (and not only the forest/riverside). Camps with residentials of course make sense, also in my eyes.

Ah yes Shayariel - I should read more carefully...or at least properly remember what I read only 2 seconds before!

Thank you guys so far! We do have a camp, and there is like 70% of the sim away from rentals We do like to put rentals near where people would dwell, it just makes sense. As for the Fae, there is the woods (the one currently turning dark via storyline) as well as there is a large deep cavern full of crystals and such in the tunnel system. Camps for other factions I am not sure what you mean? Rusalka have the entire ocean and the Singarti have their den and Haven has its faction base deep in the tunnels. Vale is coming soon, as well as a revamp to the Fae. Not sure what factions you're meaning need camps? As for rp pure areas.. saying 'not the woods, not the riverside' leaves the tunnels which, the rentals are quite away from the main chambers

I think shifting the rentals around a bit would be nice but also a big pain for all of those who have the rentals. Is the pain worth the reward? Perhaps. But being able to offer some rentals that are better suited to the fae area and the elven area as they come up would be as nice as it is to have rentals in haven or aberwyth right now.
I think the mention of more rp space away from rentals is one I understand. It would be nice to be able to roam a forest without having to pass someone's rental every (what feels like) every 10 meters or so. However, I don't think that's something we can accomplish, given all the spaces we want represented on the sim, until we expand to be more than one sim alone.

Another suggestion, given that Cedar would agree, a temporary though: Thick courtains to the entrances of the tavern, and 2 or 3 more fire pots as the sim is getting more and more cold IC.... ... until we expand to be more than one sim alone. Can I perhaps help finance a homestead addition? I am considering to apply for a savage faction, once I can think of a revamp for a valid version of the barbarian human-subrace... some genetical things I need to think of that sets them apart a bit. That faction should be for all savages (incl. orcs, barbarians, cannibals, bushmen, also minotaurs, and other that do not fit into Fae etc.), that can be perhaps a joker between "goodies" and "evils", depending on who might need help... as a means of some conflict addition to the sim.

While the offer is appreciated Shayra, the sim owner has no intention of there being multiple financers of Valesk. Thank you and we hope you understand.
As for the temporary decor due to the cold weather, I actually would be fine with that, if Dae doesn't mind!

I'm not sure how to word this all that well but honestly I would suggest the sim having kept to the Moderate rating. Not really that much need for nudity around the sim in my opinion(I know there are the literal whore characters for the opium den but even they wear clothes in public), and it draws a lot of more sexual oriented rp, despite the rule of keeping it to IMs, than a lot of people want to stick around for. While I can understand the change for violence purposes maybe, allowing more people to walk around with junk out doesn't really.. sit well with some people or make a lot of sense as to why it's necessary. The change to Adult was kind of sprung on us all as well, I feel like people have started disappearing since then too, to be honest, and a few we have spoken to (don't want to give names) have said that was the reason. In the past Adult sims I've been on seemed to be quickly reduced to nothing but a bunch of people looking for a good orgy or throw a dick in your face, and they feel the same, so it's just kind of discouraging.
Hope that doesn't come off as an annoying suggestion or anything, just some opinions on the matter and all, though it is kind of a big one.
Also wondering out of curiosity why kids aren't allowed? Just because of the rating change, right? There weren't many around to begin with but awh, miss the happy in seeing the little things when they showed up. </3

This thread is about the build, but..
I have not seen any increase in nudity, or random nudists running around willy nilly (no pun intended). Seeing as our sexual rules are still in apply (must be in ims and kept to yourself) and clearly stating the sim is not a sex sim. Raising the rating allows for a darker environment which the sims lore fits better into.
It's not turning gorean, its not going to be a sex sim, none of that has changed. Sure, someone could walk around with their penis hanging out now but we never shook a tail feather at tits and ass.
There is 0% chance IoV will turn into a sex roleplay sim.
Children was a discussed topic, we felt was limiting unfairly roleplay scenarios. children can not be properly portrayed in this genre of roleplay at the time with ToS and it is a slippery slide. As you said, we did not have a lot, so it was unfair to the over all to limit roleplay for one or two that randomly popped in sim when we have darker things beginning to happen.
So, just to make it absolutely clear:
Valesk will never be a sex sim, and things will be handled if that ever turned into an issue. That is not what we are wanting.
Thank you for your input!

Ah sorry for misunderstanding the post, I thought it was just for the sim in general! My bad!
While I understand that you can assert it's not a sex sim and all that, I know it's not, that doesn't mean more people won't show up in the future for that purpose and all. It has only been a couple weeks after all, not to sound pessimistic or anything. You can say keep it to IMs and then a group takes it to a corner of the sim they think no one will show up in or something, the act will be there regardless(. Which I will give you that, it will happen in any rating, but it's more likely on Adult sims. That sounds pessimistic anyway, but it's just the idea that it could happen much easier now. The fanbase can't be regulated if the type ie goreans or just someone looking to get sexual rp out of the experience, is largely allowed anyway. Sims that happens to, do not expect it to, nor would they advertise it that way. I can point at Convergence for an example.
And I didn't mean that only the dicks aren't wanted to be seen around, but just full nudity in general is seen as sexual, it's just. Yeah an obvious thing to think about that. Bluntly an ass and some boobs are things that aren't so much intended to be sexualized as an actual penis or vagina, like a guy with no shirt or wearing a loincloth. Just a milker and a pooper, y'know.
I think a lot of my points can be twisted to fit a lot of things but just. Opinions and stuff, forewarning of how other people see things or could from the outside I guess. Darker things are welcomed, and not wanting to limit that because kids and therefor kicking them out, understandable and all that, it's just the fact that throwing that big red A on things tends to make a lot of people think "sex" before they think "spooky things and violence" or anything else that's supposed to come with the rating. And we know what a large amount of people join sl for.
That said I did mistake this post that was supposed to be for build stuff and might be stinking the thread up with pessimism. I don't really have anything else to say on the matter, thanks for responding!
