Goodday ladies and gentlemen,
Everyone on the server wants to do the fun stuff, the big builds, the castles, the landmarks. Everyone had their own plans for places like the Dome of the Stars, the Aldburg Keep, the Ost-in-Edhil Forge. Everyone wants to build, or at least help build, these structures because they are cool looking and they are the builds other players see and admire.
Before I took over the lead of the Chamber of Light from
@Finrod_Amandil , even before I was promoted to designer, there was talk of a contest for the temple in this very chamber. I do not know where this talk started and this is impossible to track down, but everyone seemed to know there was going to be a contest.
Then
@Despot666 , who is in charge of Moria, of which the Chamber of Light is a part, started working on the temple, or at least the base.
I was asked
so many times about the contest.
I was asked
so incredibly often that I discussed this with Fin and Desp and the decision was made to do a contest for the middle part of the temple. This being decided I set up the contest and participants started coming in. Almost all of the 10 prepared plots where taken and people started work on them. But only for a week or two.
Unfortunately after all the interest in the temple none of the plots were completed on time for the deadline and even after we extended the time for the three most promising plots, nothing came out.
As a result, we have now decided that the temple will be built by a group of staffmembers.
Merry Christmas,
Beet
