I was recently chatting with oogie about some event ideas, particularly spawns, and that led me to this wonderful new idea for a new Boomtown.
Basically, use the old Boomtown level, except remove all the NPCs, ash portal, item chests (or maybe not?) and old mobs. The old buildings should be removed as well. Instead, it will be a massive PvE level. A few mobs I think should be used (if it's plural, it's quite okay to use consistently. If singular, maybe one or two in certain locations):
Siltrons
Mad Kidions
Grisions
Pidions
Farions
Trisk Elite
Rancon
Wright
Necrolaz (in lower forest areas)
Agron (maybe in the acid cave?)

There should be an area far enough from the mobs not to agro, which will be a safe zone. Along with that, houses (when possible) with vaults and restockable automated stores (basically just like a regular store but the player sets the item and price, and people can buy any quantity of the item they want to. This should set it apart from the Auction). Outside the safezone, you can get pked, but items will not drop.
All of this should make one fun PvE experience.
As for training, the xp should be what they should be, meaning that grisions and rancons should give whatever a level 15 mob would give. No nerfs. If siltrons happen to be a high level (I'm not sure), their xp should be lowered to prevent players from ledging them. Other than that, that's one hell of an awesome training experience.
Devs, reply and see if this could possibly be done.
And with the old pvp arena, could that possibly be made into a regular zone for pvping and events?

Everyone else, reply, criticize, and suggest. If it gets productive, I'll try to keep this first post updated.

Updates:
(RYSTIC) -No pvp level restriction. Any player regardless of level can kill and be killed. Items don't drop, so this shouldn't be much of a problem. Just remember to tell newbs how to rebirth.

Very good idea, It fall along side a post I made on Boom town about 3 months ago. Except, Having the safezone inside a building. Maby the store. Also while in this PvP BT exclude the lvl 12 pvp level. Everyone is game

Awesome Idea Blaze!
If this doesnt attract a larger player base idk what will.
Lets get more ideas like this to make our EA experience better!

How about you box off the BM bridge room apparatus and make it an arena map.

lol very cool idea...and instead of making the safezone inside of a building (having that many players in one spot will be a lil crowded) make the old HM store and the flat it sat on--where the flobs were--be the safezone..that whole area..and everything out side of it would be PKable or PVP...and i agree with rystic on allowing anyone and everyone to be apart of the PVP BT experience..lvl 12 or not they can still watch wat goes on and get a general idea of how the style of PVP differs from each player and then they can get into the act of PVPin...but thats just my idea..bump me if yall want ^.^

oo..and wat about AirKingdom?..why not just bring that zone back?..would be less work then reworkin the old BT...it was PVPable if you wanted it to be..and it wasnt PVPabl if you didnt want it to be...plus i love the takeing over the towers thing..that was awsome lol (and you could get infant stount, flob, and klondon armor :P)

About 'farming grisions', the idea is to keep them in an area where they can't be ledged, exploited, etc. and you'll actually need to strafe or dodge their shots to kill them, or train.

If houses get reimplemented with this, then there won't be a need for the old buildings. No NPC vaults, no stores, etc. Just house vaults, house shops, and a safe zone to put the houses. All of it is run by players. Good chance to use clan influence there. Maybe just a building for the portal out if the old portals aren't used.

i do like the idea of JP3s being added, altho i hope the quest is equivalent to crommies quest, no wussin' out
also, the idea for boomtown sumdude posted sounds pretty cool, altho back in the beta days when i played most i always loved remembering where certain houses were with the good stuff, it also added another aspect to PK as you could sometimes get lucky and find someone with say... 5 mil, a 15 armor gem and a yellow gem on there way to vault/sell it in there house :P. i say have the boom town area, but dont make it so big that its the only housing area used. i have a feeling the players will want there houses in cooler places anyways :P

edit: i forget to mention, adding objective based PVP is an excellent idea. for 1 it adds a whole new depth to the game, for 2 you could add a token based reward system with different prizes or something along these lines, the only problem i see would be people farming the rewards somehow, difficult to think of something that cant be exploited easily.

BRING BACK THE SS ARMORS!
AK i miss it dearly if we bring all this back its a guaranteed player base boost!
I am running all around the place telling people to get on EA be it Xbox Live, school friends, and even other online games!
But yea if AK cant come back, plz dont make SS armors available on TP now when i think about it, that would be a real unfair edge...

i guess no more Relic Valdron then if they only have Normal, Death, and Rune so I guess we cant quest for it in AK if thats how they keep it or make an exception... My memory is almost gone about all that can one of you tell me where to get Death armors for flob,infant stound, infant dili, and valdron? All i remember is the RV from AK because Oblivion helped me get it... Everything else is just a fuzz.

The armors came from lvl 11 armor quest. After completing the quest you had to talk to the NPC in the desired SS form in order to get the SS armor. ie Infamt Stount would give you Death Stount that could fly....If I remember correctly.

Arceus, it used to be thus:

Redo 11 and after the quest, talk to the HF reward giver (next to Glagrog, name escapes me) as a Flob or an Infant Stount or an Infant Dilirium to get those relic armors. Same for 12, except with Ocsylop's servant. Relic Crib (for the Cribuant race, also known as Klondon and Valdron) were from an AK quest, and Death Crib was an Event Token prize.

Linkster, don't bother. Telos removed the ss armor rewards long ago.
