A quick and simple note, It would be lovely to have access to player hubs where we can train at the sparring circle, perchase new items from the armory or merchants, and just feel in tune with "being around other warriors" Here's my ideas for the hub designs.
Knight: The knights hub would be centered in the courtyard of a mighty castle, the ramparts should have ladders like in the gameplay. Some peices from the castle seige level could be reused to produce a fine Knights hub.
Viking: I picture great docks set before a village (visible in the background) with the vikings trademark longboats, lined with shields and the herald of a sea dragon at the prow. The ocean and vast plains of the highlands greets the sparring brothers.
Samurai: An oriental dojo where the Samurai practice their craft, a shinto temple can be seen through the removed panels of the wall, and noble armor blesses the eastern wall in the direction of the rising sun.
Compromise(Fits all three): A mobile encampment with tents and banners all over, the sparring ring is little more than a ring of sticks or a circle drawn on the ground with chalk or paint.
(Note: These hubs should be both Compact but also effective, and centered around the sparring circles so other players can watch these one on one matches. It would also be nice to be able to practice fighting off multiple assailants. I personally hope to achieve the ability to defend against three opponents at once in terms of shear skill, but then I'm a Darksouls enthusiast. Perhapse a game mode of 3v1 with a time limit, if the loner survives for thirty seconds, he wins by default.)

I got the idea from Warframe, they've made tons of modifications and updates since they started the game and one of them was a player hub where you can go to check out these different independant factions called syndicates. It would be interesting to see four or five factions with stations set up in the player hubs in a similar fashion. Perhapse offering unique items to players who join their side and show loyalty to their cause.

Not sure if this is exactly the same, but way back in June someone made this thread suggesting something similar.
Supported that, and will definitely support this.
