Community Built Areas

Hello, First post here
I am an avid fan of D&D, MMO's and Neverwinter Nights (since the beginning).
One thing that I enjoyed most about Neverwinter Nights was the role playing. I thought it would be great to have Community Based areas aside from the Quests (or Raid) areas. Where in these community based areas you could have more than just a party of five you could have a larger amount to house a guild or a community. These community areas could be good for those who want to not necessarily distance themselves from the real game or other players but just focus on guild matters or have a secluded area to role play, chat or whatever else.
I believe this would also give other builders like myself a chance to develop their own world for other players and not rely on the campaign world or a short quest to tell their tale. I feel it would be kind of like bringing what I loved about NWN 1 and 2 into this game. I'm sure its not to much of a stretch because city of heroes had something similar to this with the headquarters, I just think it would be interesting to have it in a bit of a larger scale.
I'm not sure if something like this is already implemented or discussed but I for one would like to see if this could be added.
Questions? Opinions? Other Ideas?

If you haven't already, you can check it out here.

Also, perhaps a nice place to gather for non-guildies would be the tavern! Because who doesn't like to meet up and have a pint? (Even though I don't drink, I totally support this idea as well.)
But yeah, they should totally combine the Foundry with some form of guild housing system.
It seems unlikely from what I've read on the subject and it has me feeling like we'll be limited more towards DDO style dungeon raiding development but I'd absolutely love to have them allow truly epic in proportions builds. Perhaps even make it so that a group of developers could put all their stuff under one roof so to speak and while I wouldn't think they could compare to a persistent worlds of the NWN 1 & 2 it would at least have the humble foundations of them.
It would be great too see them truly hold off the reigns and allow players a lot of freedom in their foundry creations...but it would also be unlikely.
Let's remain hopeful though.
Looking forward this more and more with each passing word.

Excellent, really waiting for this. Even if it doesn't come with the initial release, I bet people would be willing to throw money at you if you release it later as an expansion, provided it works well. So take your time
BWahahahahahahah
Bwahahahahahahahahahaha
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
*burst a vein*
BWWWAAAAHHHHAHHAHAA
*blood spills out*
[conditions met, it can finally be used]
b:sin
That's exactly what I wanted to hear b:pleased, Thanks for the reply. I look forward to playing Neverwinter hopefully in beta, and being able to use the foundry as well.
So wait, using the Foundry requires a blood pact? b:shocked
Blood and tears my friend! Blood and tears....
A goal, either at release or later, is still better news than we've heard and some of the most joyous yet.
The fact you care and want to try to make it a possibility all the community could want from Cryptic at this point in time.
As far as PvE or PvP based areas one thing that will go along way is if as devs you make certain gameplay aspects of creating these where there are some specifics so that if a buddy goes and makes a map that they can be linked together so basically between authors you can have a whole region made and this could be like semi new content that could be more easily maintained between expansions of the game.
You must gather your party before venturing forth!

YOU ARE MY FAVORITE PEOPLE NOW!
I just wanted you to know that.
ArcheAge is probably closest to SWG we get any time soon. Although I heard a rumor "someone" started to make sandbox last year.
Riddiculously awesome!
That somehow sounds waaay too creepy and awkward if you read too much into it b:laugh
Haha b:chuckle Yeah maybe.
I'm serious though; make a cozy tavern bar area with separate rooms branching off into a library/drawing room for my mage friend, a hole down in the cellar with traps and alchemic equipment for my rogue friend, a Scrooge McDuck style mound of gold treasury for my greedy friend and a furnace with weapon racks all around for me! b:cool
