Guild Wars 2

a place where you stream lists of music from spotify
and the players skill bars turn into dance moves. – flashing disco-y lights n stuff – a slide – a bubble party, disco ball, blinking dance floor, strobe lights, lazers, smoke machine, ….confetti, a swimming pool in the courtyard, you can buy party horns and party favors

and a bar to buy drinks, with a dartboard and maybe a pool table.

a fun spot to have a 2nd life n stuff

and yes, of course a “Death at the Disco mission” and you get glow stick weapon skins as an achievement reward. maybe even a guitar hero / just dance meta event – where an npc does moves, and the players have to mimic him to win. last man dancing wins! ^.^

then you can sell all sorts of pineapple hats, and grass skirts / super high heel disco shoes, elton john sized glow in the dark glasses, new skill bar dance moves, and all kinds of disco wear at the shop.

I remember the old LA where everyone would hangout outside the bank. We just need that back really. Although I fear it was really the megaserver design that took away this personal/social feel to cities.

I think they should simply un-mega all the cities.

LA is home to the role players – that aspect of the game died with megaservers.

I’m thinking a place where people can have fun socializing would greatly help. Hence the disco, a modern twist on environment and roleplaying – people can have fun and socialize without having to talk much and just dance. Plus the music would be a nice twist for people who just want to stand around and chat – the GW music is awesome, but it’s still a loop of one or 2 songs.

Heck, find out if you can stream with an api from soundcloud, being there wont be any royalties attached to it. or even stream music videos from youtube. – or even a jukebox where people can buy something with gems and a portion of those gem purchases turn into money for licensing costs. Further the music licenses aren’t very expensive, especially since millions of people wont be in the disco at one time.

btw, the apparent loophole on youtube royalties would simply be that you aren’t charging admission to this “Disco” – so you technically aren’t making any revenues, and artists are being paid through youtube ads – just providing a different kind of webpage to view it on- no differen’t than a blog or facebook… – anyone who downloads the free game and enters the disco justifies this claim. – effectively making the gw lions arch disco just another free web browser that people can watch youtube on. – this way you can sell shop items the way a browser can sell plugins.

They had a New Orleans and they paved it over and put up a parking lot.

I go to Divinities Reach now.

Don’t you put down a parking lot?

It’s a partial quote from a song called Big Yellow Taxi

“They paved paradise to put up a parking lot”

ANet had something good and they turned it into a concrete wasteland.

Hmmm a Who reference. Nice!

But LA already has a super secret club.

I don’t recommend going there, though. You’ll get crabs.
