Duiran gets the most attention out of all the other orgs. Heck they even got a remodeling, something the other cities (except probably Bloodloch) badly need.
Edit: Also Duiran are being given the first remakes to the novice program.
Spinesreach could -badly- need a remodeling, something I was strongly pushing for back when I gave a damn.
Enorian is also quite messy. Duiran has a very well built and clean structure to it. It makes any newcommer's life much easier, and its concept of divided sections makes life quite relaxing. Also the incorporations of mini-flavor things such as the green light around the great oak and the swarming fireflies upon the upper tier branches are quite lovely.
A shame your rebuilding idea was too revolutionary and was rolled back. Maybe you'll have better luck in Bloodloch.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but this line of complaint is baffling me.
Also, surely there are better things to spend time on than remodeling existing cities.
Duiran got covered in utterly toxic purple sludge that killed stuff. That's why they had to remodel it.

Ha!
Penned by my hand on the 22nd of Lanosian, in the year 394 MA.
Not sure what I'm raging about here, but after reading that post I wanted to break my keyboard. Maybe it's the fact that we won all 3 of the engagements, and afterwards Enorian started talking trash like they hadn't lost anything. I dunno. It made angry enough that I almost sent Aren a string of strongly worded tells that prolly would of ended in me getting hexed. W/e
FYI, not really angry at you specifically, @Aren. Just something about the whole ordeal, and your post just happened to set it all off.
Now take Duiran's current setup. It is very structured, having had everything in their own quadrant. It also is built to be an easy and memorizing layout that any novice could used to. The map layout is also quite beautiful, with a central sort of 'moat' like structure around a large giant tree. It frankly gives the feeling of a nature commune in touch with a more spiritual side.
Spinesreach has -nothing- on old Duiran for being confusing to navigate. It's actually pretty straight forward.
Having farmland inside of the external city walls actually makes perfect sense in a land where there is violence everywhere. I really disagree with you that Spines doesn't suit its history/role.
As for being confusing to novices, it really only takes a handful of days playing the game to get the hang of where stuff is. Path finding eliminates the awkward learning period (since you can path find post to get to the post office and every city appears to have a directions file with vnums).
Oakstone-reeking is a legit reason to redesign. As is major catastrophic events occurring in the city that make a redesign necessary (Take Seattle for example! Major fire. Too muddy to bother tearing down and starting fresh. Build the new city atop the old.)
Edit: @Draiman I, at least, found the Bloodhunt amusing. Especially watching deathsight while I ran around phased taking care of business.
