Screenshots
Here's some more screenshots I've taken since the last ones I posted in Fixinmylazor's thread. Click the links to open up a bigger picture and people are welcome to post their own screenshot(s) too.

The Old City

We had worked on getting a non-instanced city for several years, so when the patch that gave access to instanced cities came out, Defiant began to cut through the red tape and bought the plot within 2 weeks with a loan from Maciris and then Berael provided some buildings for construction. Leileena created a really helpful map we could use to design the city blueprints. While the city is now gone as of April 2010, here are some screenshots from our adventures in Serenity Islands:

The New City

This story starts long ago when Knight first invited me to the org.. I was very reluctant to join any org after a bad experience with an org that had taxed me when I was new.. but Knight was persistent and I finally joined. Knight eventually took me out to our tower site to plant a tower, then @ Galway Shire #5:15-25x.

It was explained that we needed characters that stayed at a certain level to defend them.. strange but, okay! I didn't know what to do so I went out and began killing outdoor bosses looking for some cool weapons to make a character out of. I found some SOL K-9X pistols and decided they should go to.. an enforcer!? Reloader, a level 24 enforcer. Well, we eventually lost the site, I think to Redemption, but I had lots fun playing around in the subway and temple. So much fun that.. I leveled the character up! Sad

A few years later, we were/still are working on getting a higher level site. I decided to do something with Reloader! He was now level 90 so that means of course.. he needs shoulderpads! The dreaded quest shoulderpads. But what does any of this have to do with our city?

It just so happens a certain robot patrols an area southeast of one city plot in Newland. I can't really talk about what secret business I had with the robot, but it turned out that plot was vacant! Well, we already had a city.. so I went to bed. But somehow it waited. Xiquelle's real estate corporation helped us transfer the site to a new Defiant. These were hectic times involving transferring most every active member from the old org to the new one.

How strange, all the random things that had to happen over the course of 3 years to lead us to that city. Anyways, here's a few screenshots of the new city and meetings:
