GH7 under construction

Just to update everyone and assure you things are moving despite various problems; I'm showing you pictures of the build site. The lag eased yesterday so I can get back to it properly. I try endless possibilities around basic principals..as you can see in the pictures above ..I'll try anything once ..~cough~In a week or so I'll invite all tthe merchants to see it and give feedback This time these principals are ..

No store should be more than 15 m from the landing and all either facing the Map or Landing. Exposure must come first..At the moment everyone loads textures from 1000 tiny pictures on vendors.

The design is going to be far simpler and smaller and hopefully very easy to understand.I admit the design of gh6 confused so many people although when I built it it really didn't feel complex. The Map will be directly beneath the landing so closer and easier to find.

The facing stores will all be autonomous. ( x 28 ) . This means you take over the space for a set price and you are free to sub let any of the space within or subdivide.

The texture loading will be severely restricted by the design. Your store sign will be clearly visible from most places in the hub but not all your vendors thus reducing texture lag considerably .

I'm adding more recruitment advertising. The demand is still greater than I can provide at GH6

The map is going to be replaced by a smaller square one. Sadly the round one disadvantages Torvaland as it's squeezed by the distortion. Added to that many have told me the old one was better. It was a nice idea but made very few northern friends. I'll replace all the landmarks with a new script which was donated to the Hub by a very generous scriptor.

I'm going the pack the new hub and rez it all at once so it should take about an hour to replace. Expect this to happen some time at the beginning of April
