I have seen a bit of discussion on this topic recently on other threads and I made a suggestion on one of them that we should actively seek to join NC onto Neufreistadt as was envisioned in the original plan AFAIK. I think it could be done with a minimal fuss and only a small fee charged by LL the only "downside" being that the never-ending N'Stadt fog would be gone (if that is indeed a downside). In any case we could re-create the fog with the artificial weather systems we are currently using for snow.
My suggestion seems to have landed with a thud and no one has commented on it, so this is an attempt to garner some opinion on whether anyone else sees this as a worthwhile goal or is dead set against it and so on.
To refresh folks on the theory behind it, the current shape of the ground in the two sims would fit perfectly together if they were joined and would require minimal or no terraforming with [b:1xapnxs0]one[/b:1xapnxs0] exception.
Neufreistadt is currently [i:1xapnxs0]higher[/i:1xapnxs0] in elevation than NC so all the land in NStad't would have to be [i:1xapnxs0]uniformly lowered by the some amount[/i:1xapnxs0] for the land to be able to be joined. This would be like subtracting 100 metres or something from every elevation point and every structure uniformly in N'Stadt). In the end, N'Stadt would look the same as it does now, but the elevation would be lower, and thus no clouds except those we create artificially.
