Ive made this suggestion a long time ago already. But now that... certain haters 
... have left the server, id like to rediscuss the idea.
As you may have noticed, a lot of inofficial cities start popping up everywhere on the server. Some of them are very large and offer good plots. So the capital cities have no real purpose anymore. Also, the advantage that all capitals have, or are going to have a train station and connection to orcshire is so shallow that barely anyone would ever use the rail system, especialy since they can be lethal and teleport runes warp you across the entire map in seconds.
So, to add a purpose to the capitals again, i suggest that all 4 capital cities should have a unique advantage, which every player can access. But to do so, they have to travel to each of the 4 capital cities and do some sort of task. Eighter completing a quest, doing a test or paying money... something like that. Due to the gainable unique advantages, the capital cities will have way more daily visitors and a huge ammount of value.
So far i havent commen up with any good suggestions what each cities unique advantage should be.
Here is what i thought of by now:
Acheron: Wer the city of magic so how about we implant the initiator rune in the city? If the server is set to use this rune, players must use this rune at least once before they can use runecraft at all. This may first sound like a disadvantage, but it adds a lot of possibilities. First of all, we thought of making players go through a test in order to reach the rune. This way, we ensure only relyable and trustworthy people gain access to runecraft, since they will have to answer server guideline related questions. No noobs will power pick your house down or ninja in your house by playing around with teleport runes until they get a code that leads them into your private diamond heaven. Also, limiting runecraft to those who can pass this test forces everyone who hasnt learned runecraft by then to use the train system. It right now is barely used at all and rather a mayor waste of time. If only passed people can use teleporters, the hard work of admins will get more used and appreciated! We already set up a temple flying above Acheron just for this purpose and its all good to go!
Eccenoctem: This city is a dark underground city. So unless the eccenotcem council or anyone else has a better idea, how about they get the advantage of a vampire plugin? Vampires recover health automaticaly during nighttime, like in peaceful mode and do not get attacked by monsters. On the other hand, vampires will set on fire when walking in daylight, so there finally is a good reason for the night time, other than beeing annoying and dark. Vampires also have improved night vision!
Abydos: I havent been sure about this one but i heard theres a slave mod for runecraft. How about you can buy npcs in this city? They will go hunt for you, lumber, mine, take care of your crops, protect your ass and what not!
New Frost Side: Also not sure but i thought of some kind of combat plugin. Something that improves your figthing abilities. And you only get them when you visit NFS.
