Avatar's age
« on: October 22, 2004, 09:56:46 am »
Characters should start as young, and grow up after some time, then became older, perhaps die eventually? (could reincarnate into a young being with stats depending on karma he earned in the previous life? not all would like it...). Age could change stats, skill availability...

Avatar\'s look should be altered accordingly...

Together with the changing world idea - it could be possible then to plant various trees, bushes that would grow with time.

If for no reaon other than I like to RP, I\'d hate for my character to get old and die... Well, unless it was realtime... age a year in a year...
I still have Ultima 4.
The Karma thing reminds me of Knights of the Old Republic... with light/dark side points

Edit: added the realtime part

What happens if you do not login for a long time? Does your charecter die, or do you see how much you r freinds have aged?

That\'s a good point Cyberchu.
I think that it would have to keep aging...
Incentive to keep players logging in?
Leave for years, character dies, like an inactive account.

That raises another point, what happens when your account dies? Do you go to the death realm, is it deleted or do you need to use some spell/potion/herbs to revive it?

OK so follow this idea ...

A character has its gene pool, and if he wants to stay younger and develop itself he has to find other character (perhaps opposite gender :) ) and then if both characters want to exchange genes - they can do it (under special conditions) then both characters mutate - become younger and change their -... stats, apperance etc...


Just need to develop proper \"special conditions\"

Such game would be much more social, much more intriguing than simply bashing monsters to gain experience...

It was game called \"ECO\" long time ago - similiar idea was used, and the game was very addictive...

If the char\'s already dead, they don\'t die \'till they get out of the death realm... but I would really get angry if I just got out of DR, die and get back there...

No, no, just NO!

Aging simply sucks. Anything autoamted sucks big time. I don\'t want it. I really hate the idea of it being forced upon me.
If anything, it should be selectable upon char creation (which I\'d actually like), and that\'s it.

Yeah I thought so...

You\'ll get another hack&slash boring game with all the bells and whistles like nice graphics quests and all the crap that already exitst in so many games...

It won\'t differ at all, will be just cheaper.

Have fun

Come now, just because people have shot down a suggestion that has already been proposed before doesn\'t mean that without this certain suggestion, Planeshift will be a hack \'n slash game. Roleplay will be the #1 aim. Perhaps being able to choose different stages of life during character creation could be nice, but then what happens if you play the game for a year or two, and are still stuck in a kid\'s body? Realistically, how many kids or old folks are going to be running around with sharp, shiny weapons and stab at things five times bigger than them?

It\'s too complicated of an idea, and unnecessary. Roleplay an age. You don\'t need extra graphics for it.

Ditto.
