We have made contributions to the community, in the way of events. We have held skill-building events for both members and non-members. More recently, we have also held some unique events including the Extreme Survival Event at the Jhelom pits, and, more recently, the brigand invasion of New Windmere and Vesper, which we have been told sets the record for the longest-running continuous player-run event in UOSA history. For those of you who enjoyed our last one, Atraxi has informed me that he is in the process of writing another. Stay tuned for more info on that. In addition to those events, we also try to participate in player organized, as well as the server's automated events, such as Capture the Flag, Tournaments, Survival and Double Domination. Most importantly, we are very active, hunting nightly, and involved in all aspects of UO, from PvP to PvM to Crafting, and we are pretty sure you have seen us in the field, or traded with us at one time or another. Some of our most recognizable members are Atraxi (aka Gallifrean), Cattie B (aka Bregan D'aerthe), Huzke Truthseekr, Orphik Deranger, Theograd, Xevec (aka Aetius, Lucretia) and myself (aka Mercury, among others).
Our town, New Windmere, has many services that benefit the community at large. We have a complete Rune Library and a public black dye tub (which sits in our public craft hall). In the past, we had one single vendor building called the C^V Mini Mall. Since our town's expansion, our vendors have spread out. We now have many vendor shops throughout our town, which, all combined, offer almost anything you might want to buy from a player vendor. We also are putting together a few houses that are to be set aside for use as new player housing.
We try to give New Windmere a very RP feel. Our vendors reside in themed shops, and some of our houses are to be deco'ed as RP buildings. I would go into detail, but it would spoil the surprise
If you seek an example, however, you can go check out the Blue Oyster Tavern, along the southern edge of our town.This is a long post, however, I feel it is necessary to demonstrate why we feel we are not only eligible, but very deserving of adding a few visual improvements to our town. We are not seeking anything over the top (like a huge statue, or water fountain), but we would like some things here and there. We were thinking some simple things, like maybe a couple of signs, or a bulletin board. We would really like a small memorial to our founder, benny, who is no longer with us. These are not only for our enjoyment, but also for the enjoyment of those who seek to use our town's facilities. Furthermore, shall we have the community's approval, these add-ons would not only be paid for in terms of resources, but would also be "created" by the finest craftmen and women in the land in, player organized, public crafting events hosted by the Company of the Vigilant.
Thank you for your consideration.
