I\'m not sure where he saw this, but my brother told me that Planeshift wasn\'t allowing silly or unrealistic names such as PickleHead or Gator16273.

Plus those names ruin the atmosphere. Eg. You\'re attacked by a group of PKers and their names are SuperVlad12, m|k3, and ChaosBard.

Why not have individual pieces of armor? Instead of buying Steel Plate Armor, you could buy Steel Plate Shoulder Pads. Of course, you could buy a whole set, too, but say if someone wanted only armor on their arms, and none on their chest and stomache (maybe just because it looked really cool). Individual pieces of steel armor combined with leather armor you had before simply because you cant afford a whole set right now. Plus it would add great diversity to the game.

Name: Ynish

Description: An Ynish\'s body is shaped much like a bull. The differences are great, though. For one the Ynish\'s body color is that of something burnt, like a charcoal and has no hair on its body. You can see the explanation for this when you see the fire seeping through the cracks of its mouth and eyes. The Ynish\'s insides consist of fire. Its horns, too, are different. The horns do not stick out of the sides of its head like a bull, instead about five to ten horns extend from the back of its head, often entangling each other into one big mess. The Ynish also has no hair on the end of its tail. When one is killed, it\'s entire body explodes into flames, so you should be careful . Also, some Ynish are known to spontaneously combust for unknown reasons.

::::EDIT:::: Also, their facial features are somewhat stretched, and their hooves look as if they are decayed/decaying, like holes and shtuff in them.

Combat: Charging at you, whipping its head at you, biting, and on occasions shooting fire from its mouth. And when killed it explodes.

What if the monster is 10x bigger than the tree? Make a tree 10x bigger than the monster? Lol

I am all for the smoking, I\'d prefer to see pipes, but paper and leaves are good too.

I don\'t like the vison idea, the health getting lower idea I don\'t really care for.

The only problem is, like some said, their parents won\'t let them play if they see that. I don\'t understand why, because you have people being killed, but I do know some parents are like that.

I have an idea for like a forest of eyes, where everything living (and dead) would have like... a million eyes.

1st Monster: Ketterling

Description:
A huge (10-15 feet long, 8 feet high), long (lanky would be a better term) body with a knobbish sort of head. Its body is covered in dark blue fur. Its knobbish head is covered with eyes on top, slowly getting bigger as they get closer to his back. The eyes are oval shaped, and are black with many swirling dark colors in them. The mouth is hidden within its fur, but it has many small teeth. Its long arms get bigger as the near the hand, which seems to suddenly end, where slender claws extend. These claws are a dark red with a bit of black.

Combat: Slashing with claws (which could take a head off), beating you to a pulp... then eating you.

I don\'t think I\'ve seen any info on how monsters will generate.

There\'s just one thing that I think should NOT be done: making that one monster(s) spawn from the same exact spot so people can wait there for the monster(s) to come back to kill it.

The monster spawning idea is just about the only and easiest way that monster\'s can come back into the world, because actual birth would just be too complicated and then you\'d need parents but what\'d happen if the parents were killed etc. etc.. I\'ve been thinking of other ways that one could make monsters reappear but I can\'t come up with anything, so I just wish for one thing: that the monsters should generate in random spots, but in some sort of order so that they don\'t seem to just be popping out of nowhere.

I\'d really like to see some new sort of monster system. Post any suggestions if you have any I guess.

I think the gun idea is a very good idea. The first race that comes to mind are the dwarves. Hand cannons and stuff would be great. Sure it may have an advantage over that guy standing 10 feet away with a sword, but it could also have its disadvantages like say... guns are defective? Maybe you would have to be skilled in using the weapon enough so that it worked correctly. Loading time, much slower than a bow and arrow, and like Cyberchu had said, would cause lots of commotion like smoke and a potential of temporarily blinding your character. If a wizard can learn spells through studying ancient lore or however, then a blacksmith or some sort of fantasy mechanic should be able to figure out how to propel this a tiny ball from an apparatus.

People keep saying that it doesn\'t fit in a fantasy world, but isn\'t just about everything in a fantasy setting based upon something from the real world? We have swords, so in fantasy world you may have an enchanted sword. Most, if not all, monsters are based upon the real world, like if you play any other MMORPGs, they\'ll sometimes have a treeant (simply a tree given life), gray ooze (liquid...), golems (giant sized humans made out of rock, metal, etc.), and everything else. ALL BASED ON REAL LIFE.

People keep saying they\'d go play a sci-fi game if they wanted guns. I think these people have a bizarre image of guns ?_o. Just take a cannon, and make it about 5x smaller, and you have your really early, untrustworthy gun.

Though, they should be expensive and hard to find someone who makes them.



EDIT: OR if you\'d rather, maybe guns like hand cannons could ONLY be mounted onto something to be shot, not fired while holding in the air. Or maybe it would be allowed to be fired on mounts, like have some sort of special saddle put onto a horse (or whatever mounts they plan on using) to hold the gun.

Had not realized this was an old post... sorry -_-;;; *hangs his head ready to executed*
