Player Towns are wonderful places of activity, comraderie, organization, and overall fun! Many times, the activity in a player town rivals activity in a town of the Realm, such as Jhelom or Serpents Hold. There are usually several qualities that make a player town:
- Housing exists in a central area, sometimes also with a few distant locations for special purposes (like a building near the ocean to offer dock services). This housing is organized in ways that make sense for overall town management. There are usually a town hall, tavern, commercial vendor establishments, monuments, and sometimes even a jail!
- A working Government, usually with a mayor to organize the citizens and guild(s) so decisions can be made on the progress of the town.
- Citizens and/or Citizen-Guild(s), who make up the Citizenry of the town. Some towns will have several Citizen-Guilds or just one. Others will also have a town stone for people who wish to just join the Town, but not a specific Citizen-Guild.
- Town Culture, where each town is usually unique in some fashion. Some are role-playing towns aligned to evil, good, or neutrality. Some are focused on events. Others are combat (PvP) or adventure (PvM) towns. Still others are quest towns. Many combine aspects of two of more of these qualities in their culture. The common denominator in most towns is they have a sense of respect and comradarie.
- Town Activity, where the town does have citizens around at least a few times each week, usually with some announced meetings or events.
- Web Sites and/or Message Boards, where there is a way to communicate with their citizens, patrons, and visitors. The web site or board usually gives information about what the town is designed for, who the mayor is, and how people can get involved with the town.

REPOSTING (April 4, 2007) after the big move! (by Taltos the Elder on UO Stratics)
http://boards.stratics.com/php-bin/uo/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=7179069
GRYPHON HALL HAS MOVED!
After a long and arduous journey outside Sosaria I am pleased to announce my return and also to announce the grand opening of Gryphon Hall!
Gryphon Hall was built from the idea of offering the Cheseapeake community a new, well maintained, safe and neutral place to gather, perform, and celebrate. It is located at 88o 35'N 32o 50'W (B) (As per UOAM) Just a short run from the SW corner of Luna.
The Hall itself boasts the following:
A spacious area which can be used as a chapel or performance space depending on the furniture layout.
A warm, friendly tavern with both indoor and outdoor seating. Bartender and chef are on duty seven days a week, twenty four hours a day!
A beautiful rooftop garden with fishing pond, statuary, fountains and trees.
A smithy/tailor area with all dye tubs available.
A Large meeting hall.
There are several patios with seating on each floor, and a small outdoor garden on the main level.
Please feel free to visit at any time. I am generally in my office Tuesdays from 2 pm till 4 pm Eastern time and I hold office hours by appointment.
Please contact me via PM or leave a message on the message board outside the Hall if you wish to secure the building for your wedding, celebration, performance or any other event or even just wish a tour of the Hall. The staff of the Hall can even accommodate your wishes as far as decorating specifically for your event!

The third floor houses the library, sleeping quarters and the Inn's vault. Runebooks to every corner of the Realm can be found here.
