SUGGESTION: Move Alinor wayshrine + Guild traders

Volsers

I love Alinor and the whole zone of Summerset, definitely something I want to spend time in, so I thought it would be a good idea to give my two cents on how to make Alinor just a bit better of a main hub! After exploring and looking at the city for awhile I believe there is one thing you can improve and that is to move the wayshrine + guild traders a bit more towards the center of the city, to where the Reman's Plaza Currently is.



The wayshrine would stand where the statue currently stands... the merchants standing there right now would simply switch place with the guild traders. Close to the wayshrine you now also have the daily quest giver for convenience.

I also drew lines on the map of the City so you can see more clearly

• Red = locations moved/changed.
• Green = Places you (might) visit the most.
• Yellow = Travel routes

This Change would basically shorten the way to in general all things you might visit in the city since it is more centered focused. The shorter the travel distances is the more people will enjoy it and the more time people will spend in the newly created awesome content! That is why I believe that this change would be really good and help increase the population of Summerset/Alinor. Many People seem to agree that the wayshrine needs to be moved somewhere, this suggestion is a good way to do it without having to move or even redesign structures such as the bank to better work with where the wayshrine gets moved to.

Also look at the view you get once you enter the city from this way!

I agree with everything you have listed and I also share your excitement

Just something to consider in all these suggestions, moving wayshrines or traders to an area that may condense population could also lead to longer load screens and performance lag.

I would love to see Alinor being a popular city.

Personally, I do not mind. I will have my house there, I will enjoy walking any single meter if I must. It really doesn't make the city less attractive. And also, once Craglorn>always Craglorn when it comes to guild traders. I always try to check stores in Rawl'Kha, Vivec, Mournhold etc. But I always find myself going back to Craglorn for shopping, because only the Craglorn guilds truly have everything you need, all others are too small for my taste.

What you are saying is in itself true, but if we look at currently active places such as Rawl'kha we will find that things are even more condense... and from my personal experience I have not noticed too long loading screens there lately.

@Dracane gave your posts an awesome each

As I said I too love the city so I don't mind walking, but it would be awesome if trade guilds had as large reasons as possible to settle there, so you have an even more reason for regularly coming there!

That's what I'm hoping for as well We need no further reason to love Alinor, but we want others to love it as well.

@Aliyavana I like your idea too. You simply switch place with the housing vendors and the guild traders and put the wayshrine next to the crafting house. The place you want to move the bank to there is currently nothing inside of and it is closed off... which makes me believe that it would be easier to create a new bank there.

The problem is that you have to actually create a new bank and what should become of the old bank which is really well designed and good looking? Now, moving it I don't think is an option but maybe put in another one so you now have two banks in the city might be reasonable since you can imagine it might fit with such a large city.

Again, I actually like your Idea of putting the most important things really close together to where you suggested... however designing a whole new indoor area would take a lot more time then just move (basically) three currently existing things...
We both can agree on that it would be nice if the city was redesigned just a bit at least, all we can do is hope that ZOS takes this feedback into consideration
