I’ve owned my main deed on the Independence server for a number of years now. It’s called Quail Cove (not to be confused with Quail Landing, which is a whole other deed I own), and it’s rather small compared to some of the big deeds out there, but I think it’s very functional, and even has room to grow. It’s on Hermit Island, and while I do have neighbours, we all tend to keep to ourselves.
Most of the mine is off-deed, with two entrances (land and water) that are on the deed itself. I have a building with a locked door that leads to the rest of the mine. This gives me security so that folks won’t accidentally ruin the mine (trust me, I have wandered through many a drop shaft in my life). There is a high fence surrounding the place because I did have people coming through and griefing (whether on purpose or not, I don’t know). The market remains outside of the fenced portion (along with the token) so that people can access the merchants and can still withdraw money if they need.
I have a large building on a second tier that I call The Archives. It’s filled with all of the precious collectables that I’ve acquired over the years, and each section of the building is dedicated to a specific holiday that has been celebrated in game. It’s probably one of my favourite places on the deed. Most of the buildings are more functional than decorative, decorating is one thing that I’d like to work a bit more on. I’ve been building ceilings, adding lights, and trying to add more little cozy touches that really make a deed ‘yours’. There really is no ‘end’ to the game, just when you think you’ve completed a major project, another one comes up. Still, that’s just part of the fun.
If you happen to be nearby, stop by and say hello! As always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself.
