It’s a shame the amazing home cities feel so abandoned and LA is always so crowded. Me and my friends had some idea’s how to make the home cities “home cities”. Here are some idea’s to start with.
1) Add a mystic forge to them. (why arent they there to begin with?). Give them some intresting NPC’s that give you things to do.
2) City events like collecting, racing, puzzeling, searching, jumping etc to get home city awards. Like in Harry Potter, to win the house cup. But them a little different of course.
The award could be a racial buff like +1% gold find for a week/month for all Asurans, WP cost reduction for all Charr characters etc. etc.
Or even releasing some back story about the race in volumes with nice animated scenes.
3) Home instance decorations. I’m not getting into housing because others have done this before. But it would be cute
