Community Playhouse and/or amplitheather

It is a play within a play and a very important plot device.

I still think spending effort on an amphitheatre is not gonna be rewarding enough to warrant the effort.

Simply due to the fact that use is not guaranteed endlessly, it takes up space, and won't necessarily serve the community as a whole, due to the simple fact that those putting on plays will want to make people pay for the experience, and want dorrsmen, etc., and it'll just give opportunity for more anger and tension and flaming.

Just set up a show in Hydlaa Plaza, and let people use the large plaza steps as a seating area.

I still think spending effort on an a combat system is not gonna be rewarding enough to warrant the effort.

Simply due to the fact that use is not guaranteed endlessly, it takes up space, and won't necessarily serve the community as a whole, due to the simple fact that those fighting will want weapons and experience, and want npcs to fight, etc., and it'll just give opportunity for more anger and tension and flaming.

See how the same logic applied to another feature doesn't quite work?

True, the story of Yliakum can be described as being a play of sorts, but that doesn't mean its inhabitants would automatically find no interest in watching plays or listening to stories of their own.  Planeshift -is- supposed to simulate a self-contained world with inhabitants that have culture, isn't it?

Also, just because there isn't a raging demand for theatrical performances among players right now, it doesn't mean that it's not worth investing some effort into fostering their potential.  Build it and they will come.

Actually, I think there is something that would satisfy your requests.  If you haven't been keeping up with the Octarchy Society for Progress, then you wouldn't know that a guild has been given a guild house for the purpose of making a vaudeville.  This vaudeville will be used for a showcase of culture: art, theater, poetry, songs, music, writing, ect.  It will also be offered to sponsor the events of other guilds.  Plus, there will be food and drink.  Check out this link, and ask to get involved.

We will soon be getting the guild house, as soon as the Octarchy (GMs) can get to it.
