Survey Results

A couple weeks ago I posted the following survey:

What would you like to see in the "reward" area of the world? This campground is designed as a reward for those who have lived in a 10x10 house in the valley & gained enough skill or lifetime points to teleport. (You can pick multiple answers.)

These are the results:

Stick with the 10x10 residential lots theme - 9 votes (37%)
Larger residential lots - 5 votes (20%)
Harvestable plants from other countries - 10 votes (41%)
Fish from other countries - 7 votes (29%)
An explorable tomb like those in World Adventures - 14 votes (58%)
A nectary - 8 votes (33%)

I also had the great ideas submitted by anettesb of adding a playground and a swimable pond to the main campground.  These have both been incorporated and are great additions.  Good suggestions!

Using a cut off of 40% (meaning almost, but not quite, half of the voters agreed that this was needed), the following ideas should be incorporated into the reward area:

Harvestable plants from other countries
An explorable tomb like those in World Adventures

I'm surprised that plants from other countries received more votes than fish from other countries.  I tend to associate them together, but I guess it's easier to harvest without skill than to successfully fish without skill.  I'm sort of pleased that the nectary wasn't a very popular idea, as I like to have reasons to visit the other countries in game.  On the other hand, the tomb idea was more popular than I expected but shouldn't interfere with any opportunities, so that's good.  Now I have to decide what to do for it!  I'm tempted to do it myself as I don't know how many people use tomb objects and I'm at least mildly experienced with them.

Since the first two choices, 10x10 homes versus larger homes, is a decision I need to make, I'm letting the votes decide.  With 9 votes, the lead goes to "stick with the 10x10 residential lots theme", so that's what I'm doing!

  1. I'm glad your sticking with the 10x10 thing, it makes your world incredibly unique! I'm surprised by the fish thing too. I always see them as going hand in hand, but I'm looking forward to the harvestables none the less!

    I'm sure you will make an amazing tomb. The house you made for Paulio2 contest was very tomb like. Also I know Stinalina has made some tombs before, maybe the two of you could work together or something. I'd be useless, I'm sure I could learn, but I'm going to stick to learning world creating stuff for awhile!

    Thanks for posting the results. I'm so glad I figured out how to follow blogs correctly! I was some how doing it wrong before, but now it's excited every time I go to update my own I get to see what everyone else has been up too!

  2. Yay for results!!

    I am so glad you are sticking to 10x10 lots! So are we doing a 10x10 cabin lot contest?? Hint hint, wink wink. lol I think that would be incredibly fun.

    I also assume fish from other countries would go with vegetation from other countries but, really what do I know, lol.

    A tomb! How interesting...I'm not sure what I would come up with either and with everything else I'm doing right now I probably wouldn't want to try either. I'm sure you could come up with something brilliant though Gouka! And like Sammie said maybe Stinalina could help.

    And Sammie isn't I nice to see what Gouka is doing so we can get good ideas for our world lol! ;)
