After the "Reasons for Reza" post, I figured I should do one as well to get some input.
Right now, I've moved and expanded the gardens slightly. I put them beyond the 'maze of pillars' grid of rooms on the western end. They used to be on the far eastern edge of the area.
Demolished the atrium that used to be where the garden is now. Some trees can be climbed, and the bird mobs will be in their branches now.
Disconnected the access to 'sneakie lane' and I'll be moving Basfah (Eden's drug dealer) to a place behind one of the shops, most likely.
Adding multiple ways to access the second floor of the palace.
[list=1]
[*]Buy a ratty looking pass from a guard needing money to go see Basfah. Works for one person only, is confiscated when you're allowed to pass.[*]Use Hiroth's key to get a single-person regular pass, like it is now.[*]Large quest for Hiroth will give a 'group authorization pass', which will allow you to take groups into the second floor.
Turning the maze of pillars into an actual maze. Got the idea from Pol's blackout game in Reza. Will consist of several pillar objects (only one loaded in a room at any given time). Pushing the pillar will load one of the other pillar objects and purge the current one, also closing and opening various exits to the room. Will make the maze something of a combination lock to access the gardens.
Anyway, just some thoughts on what I'm doing at the moment. I've not yet gotten around to the "Underearth" section or third floor yet, but I'll post more as I change things around.

I'm concerned about the "story" of the Sentience world, and how a biblical garden has a place in it. I know Christians are something of a rarity in muds, but we should show consideration to all faiths and make it a point to not trivialize them. I'm cool with the garden area, but I do have some issues with it being blatantly named Eden. Indeed, Christians are not the only faith to recognize the garden of Eden as a sacred place.

Good point, Ini. If you have any suggestions, I'll change the name (provided Ti is willing to go through and change all the references to Eden in it)
Just gotta let me know if ya'll are willing to and what you want it to be changed to.

I say rename Eden to Elysium and rename the rift area to…. The Rift (SHOCKER!).
Elysium: A heavenly place (peaceful and beautiful) where those who are favored by the gods can go when they die.
Perhaps something based off of that.
