Yew Community Center (YCC) & Pacific Memorial Museum
The Yew Community Center of Evergreen
and the Pacific Memorial Museum
are open to the public.
and the Pacific Memorial Museum
are open to the public.
Located just north and east of the Yew Moongate in Trammel is the Yew Community Center (YCC) which hosts workstations for just about every craft, and Minerva works tirelessly to make sure they are charged. Feel free to visit and work on your skills! Leave a message on the bulletin board to let us know if there is some other feature/service you'd like added. A small (yet growing) Rune Library is also in the castle. New books are being marked by our resident mage and scribe, so check back often. The YCC will also serve as the venue for future events, so bookmark this thread for easy access to updates. A vendor is present at the YCC with items for returning and young players at decent prices. It is asked that veterans please do not buy out this vendor! Donations to the YCC can be made via the mailbox, which sits near the teleport pad to the museum.
All deco and building is done by Minerva and Kirthag. If you wish to donate any plain granite to the completion of the Museum, please drop in the mailbox. If you have bulk, leave a message on the bulletin boards to make delivery arrangements. Please keep in mind that both castles are constantly being re-decorated, and the museum is under major construction (we are adding floors).

hats St off to you congratulations
Or.. um... "The Finer Art of Picking Accidentally Locked Boxes" as some would say.
The little book helps to explain how the training facility works. Especially for the colored boxes (lockpicking). Tried and tested by the one and only Ferret that runs amok in the castle sometimes. Watch out for it - is a sly one!
Located on the first floor of the YCC.
~~~~~~~~~~
Edited to add: Also have two auctions running right now for some pigmet dyes. The Auction Safes are on the front steps of the castle. And slowly stocking the YCC Vendor with inexpensive items for new/returning players to gear up. Vets, please don't buy out this vendor. Thanks!

Tandy is adding new floor(s) and rather than people fall and get hurt, she felt is best to close the main areas of the museum until she's done. Will post an update later.
Another note, the YCC vendors have been restocked (both in Malas and at the YCC). Tandy is "cleaning house" as she does construction. She's such a busy body.

And... this reminds me..
Both YCC Vendors are stocked (at the center and in Luna) with all sorts of stuffs. Not only cleaning house, but some new things and resources as well. Also have all sorts of hi-end stuff that will be going out - perhaps an auction is in order? I dunno...
Museum is open again for everyone. I think Tandy is done with the heavy construction and is just organizing and putting everything out. The doors are open and explorers are welcome!
We had a huge discussion about converting one of the castles to one of the new pre-fab styles, but decided against it due to the serious customizing Tandy had done and the amount of granite that had been donated from other miners for these castles. Thanks everyone - without you we wouldn't be here.
Looking forward to the holidays, which are always so special in Sosaria!
Blessed be.
Kirthag, The Black, Tandy, Kat, and others (running amok in the realm).

We've been very busy with otherworldly matters which find us having moved far-far-far away from the island of our birth (including the 9th). We are busy getting situated in the mid-Atlantic region but will not be leaving our Pacific home in Soaria - we might actually find ourselves more active soon!
Vendors will be restocked in a bit.... and as always the community center and museum are open.
Happy Spring!
Kirthag, The Black, Tandy, Kat, and the rest of us.

YCC RENOVATION
Right now, there are some closed off areas of the YCC for renovations. Public services are still available, and will be moved around some, but all will remain on the ground floor. Please be careful when visiting as Tandy is in a bit of a dervish frenzy since Teddy Roosevelt traded some plain granite for all of her colored inventory (cannot thank you enough).
Once the dust settles at the YCC, Tandy promises to return to the museum for some much needed upkeep and display organization.
Current List of Public Services at the YCC:
Give us a bit of time as Tandy does her very special brand of crafting magic, and thank you Pacific for being so awesome!

The Yew Community Center (YCC) is located just north and east of the Yew Gate in Trammel.
The Pacific Memorial Museum is accessible by a teleport pad within the YCC, and resides near the Honesty Shrine on Dagger Isle of Trammel.
If you would like to help the museum grow, please visit the YCC vedors in Yew and Luna an make a purchase. All vendor funds are used in the collection of rares (particularly those unique to Pacific and Napa) that have been forced through the Void to other Shards. And as always,donations of plain granite will be welcomed - simply drop your unwanted granite in the mailboxes.

Public Services Are Now Available
Everything for the public is located on the ground level. Please bring your own resources for all trade skills as we cannot guarantee the vendors will have what you need. Skill Stations with free charges where applicable (we keep the stations charged for your training needs) are centrally located; except for Alchemy and Inscription, because these magical things need their own space.- Spinning Lathe (carpentry)
- Fletching Station
- Sewing Machine (with complimentary Loom & Spinning Wheel)
- Tinker Bench
- Smithing Press (with complimentary Small Forge and Soulforge)
- Oven/BBQ (cooking/baking)
- Alchemy Station
- Writing Desk (inscription)
- Advanced Training Dummy (train up to 60 in melee skills)
Other amenities available to the public include...And of course, interesting decor and customization of the YCC itself.
There are still some renovations taking place, thus access to certain sections of the castle are blocked as it may be dangerous.
All this has been made possible by generous donations from other players, and my personal love of Sosaria. The YCC's purpose is to assist new and returning players as they get used to the world so let them know! Other services will be added over time.
Thank you Pacific!

Right now there is no real need for any donations for the YCC, although if there is anything you wish to give, we won't turn it away. The mailboxes at both the YCC and the Museum are excellent ways to drop stuff. If something is dropped at the Museum, it will be used specifically for the Museum.
I am considering ways to have crafting resources available to visitors of the YCC, but do not want to be taken advantage of in this respect. Tandy is still an active crafter, and she might get a bit miffed should her gathered resources suddenly disappear.
I want to add that if the castle I am submitting to the contest is selected, I will change the YCC to that design... then gold will be an issue (20m+ gold to swap the castle design). Contrary to popular belief, just because a person has two castles full of stuff doesn't mean they have a lot of gold/plat. It costs a lot to go galavanting to the Mall Shard (ATL) and buy back items that left Pacific and Napa. Donations of gold can be made to the mailbox (piles) if desired.
The Museum will always stay as a classic castle with masonry customization.
To remind everyone, I am not selling anything from the Museum, and that includes the Bounty Heads and items on the mannequins - please don't ask. Items at the museum are on display for the enjoyment of any who wish to visit, learn, and reminisce of times gone by.

Grand Holiday Opening of the Yew Community Center (YCC)
Although we do love the classic castle design, we wanted something new for the YCC without all the masonry additions (sorry Tandy). To provide a smoother atmosphere upon which to visit, we opted for the Grimswind Sisters design from Publish 104. It sports the features we like with plenty of room for our services AND decorating needs. A lot of the pavers, walls, and steps used in the old castle will be reutilized in the Pacific Memorial Museum, which will stay as the classic castle design due to its historical nature and value.We are still decorating, looking for special items, and getting ready to bring stuff over from other shards, but our Public Services are now available, and the gates are unlocked! Come and visit! Sign our bulletin board! Tell your friends!
And thank you, Pacific, for being such a wonderful shard!

LATEST NEWS
YCC Facilities are closed pending an investigation into abuses.
Granted, I haven't made resources publically available, but my stealthers and some friends have observed unattended macroing happening at the YCC. Apparently, some people have taken advantage of the publicly available crafting stations, Tandy's ability to keep them fully charged, and the public commodity box.
Security levels and access to certain things are being adjusted within the YCC as well as the Memorial Museum.
Knowing how the enforcement of the ToS may be subjected to false reports and abuses, this puts any public house owner into a certain dilemma; particularly if the location of the said house is desired by others. No, I haven't received official notice from the gods - but I wish to avoid any "notations" on my accounts. I know the YCC's location is highly desired by some who have made many lucrative offers to buy the castle spot - all of which I've refused (for it is MY spot). After much thought and discussion with some of my closest friends - I opted to close the public facilities for a while.
I apologize to the people who legitimately visit and use the facilities for skill gain, travel via the rune library, and just visiting. Their camaraderie is the biggest reason for my still living within Sosaria.
In light of this season of giving - it pains me to have to take away.
The vendors will stay available, as well as the teleport to the museum on Dagger Isle - although that facility will also be closed to the public until I can decide how I want to manage this situation.
Thank you all for your understanding.

Public Services:
Thank you Pacific for your understanding. I know many returning players visit the YCC, and people training skills (particularly taming) so wanted to open things up again quickly. I have identified the people abusing our services, and will ban them from the YCC on sight. (You know who you are.)
