What is your suggestion?: Reworking DZ2 into a niche skilling hub and renaming the area VZ
Is this in OSRS?: No but neither isthe current dz2 (Its a custom version of the enchanted valley, for the spirit trees)
Has this suggestion been accepted already?: No
How would this benefit Alora?:
Currently you get 2 donator zones, while 1 already gives enough benefit/incentive wether i be a quick bank/pool through the ::dz command. Smithing/mining/gem mines/fishing spot. While Voting doesnt open up an area, by renaming the command ::dz2 to ::vz aka Voters Zone.The way it would work, you would get 12 hours of access by redeeming an authenticator code. Thus add a strong incentive to people claiming an authenticator key daily. And since we just enhancing/reworking a current custom area, we stay very close to the current alora to osrs similarity.
1. The amethyst adding: I personally think it will not devalue the falador mine. It would just be alot more convenient to just do ::vz if you already claim your authenticator anyway. And since if you move the banker away, it would still only be a spot for mains that would cut into dart tips/arrow heads. Falador would remain superior for banking.
2. Moving the wall would enable people to go to the east side of the map + Open that area up to maybe put like 6-7 red chins, 4-5 grey chins. While also adding the fishing spot as far into the zone as possible. Wilderness would still make for a faster exp/h. While atm the only people fishing there is maybe a lvl 20 with max hp/defence with near to no risk in wildy. And since on osrs there is already a way to fish anglerfish outside wildy which isnt available on alora, we could put it behind a vote wall. I dont think it would be game breaking to add it far in the zone( Keep in mind, mantas would remain faster exp aswell as faster banked cooking exp as that spot would take a while to bank to/from)
This would probably be a nice perk for HCIM/GHCIM players.
3. I would personally move the banker more to the west, so you can make it look clean with adding a vote booth next to wall with the banker. Mantas itself would become slightly slower. But since most people fish full afk. Also moving the banker more west. Would allow putting maybe 2-3 red/grey chins extra on each of the current spawn points (Specially on hunter bonus day an extra chin spot would be really nice/convenient)
4. Currently in the south you got a weird/dead area. Maybe could add a few vyrewatches there for people to afk for bloodshards. Only reason i'd add a custom monster spot is, we dont have the luxuary osrs players have to have multiple worlds to hop to/find an empty world making the current darkmeyer spot very contested. As you will grief eachother just afking there with more than 2. (More people afking content = more players online)
I've tried to add benefits that would make the player experience better. While not devalue'ing current methods.
