Game world
« on: July 25, 2002, 07:21:36 am »
Just wondering, do you plan to expand the game world much? It may be restricted a bit, being set underground.

Do you plan to have many other cities, or just centralize around this one city.

I am hoping you will make it much bigger because this town we are restricted to now is quite small.

I can?t help but Reply?I found the question amusing for some reason (don?t know why)

The Game world will be a lot bigger then it currently is. The ?demo? is just a test area to test technology and models and such.

It will take place underground in a giant Stalactite that is over 200 times the size of the current city?if not more, while I have the projected size?we really don?t know till we really start mapping, all I can say it is huge?it will take hours to get from one end to the other.

Also as far as expanding there will be many ways to expand both in caves and other large caverns as well as possibly the surface. Lets just say the entire area of the current map is (outside the City as well) is about 1/20th -1/50th  of the world if that?not including dungeons?and unknown areas?that is the ?Civilized area?  dangerous but towns and supplies are near.

Hope that helps a bit.

well...it is sooo big then maybe it would be best to have some kind of transportation to get around the city faster. maybe NPC mages that will teleport you to another part of the city. kinda like a subway station hehe

If it takes that long to get to the other side of the town then i would suggest like little magical teleporters that can teleport you to certain parts in the town. But you would need a lot of them b/c there might be huge lines to get onto one.

Aelya, don\'t you forget about the giant birds, they should be a great way of transport.

one thing that could make it easier would be if you were alowd to choose where you start when you log on if you are in the city

I think that to help minimize travelling time between towns, you should be able to buy or even hire a horse from some stables. Kind of like in Zelda: ocarina of time on N64.
I dont really like the idea of flying. I\'m not afraid of hieghts or anything, I just kind of makes everything too complex.

Hmm, the flying animals, the pterosaur and the megaras, they are very expensive and ment for the elite antyway. So I think horses or something similar could be quite useful.
