the next city

I think insanely huge is a good thing.

It would allow the enabling and owning of homes.

And that would give purpose to the professions of thief and of guard, and perhaps create the professions of archetect, builder and decorator, as well.

Most importantly, owning, creating and decorating a part of the world will be much more than an additional RP prop, it will also provide an emotional anchor to the game.

If you spend time and effort to make something suit you, it is of value to you, and you are less likely to abandon it.

So, more players will stay to play, the active population will increase, and with it, the overall complexity of RP.

There are over 35,000 characters registered.  I have never seen more than 150 players on at the same time.

Imagine what the world would be like, if there were thousands of people logged in to play with.

I would like that, myself.

By insanely huge I mean unproper role-play wise.

Instead of town becoming huge, some other ones would be created. Which basically doesn\'t change anything from the way you want it.

I think that most cities would be a melting pot of races. Some might have been created as an Enki or Dermorian city long ago but in the past more and more other races began to gather there, erected a house of their own which was probably a mixture between their architecture and the native architecture. This leaves the city still recognizable as being created by that race but definitely a mixed place with some original looks.

Exactly.  The origins of a city may have been built predominantly by one race and the architecture would reflect that.  But as time goes on members of other races would live there as well.  This is assuming it is a free society.  Of course, the authorities of a city might enforce the population to be race specific, but those are the things that lead to uprisings and wars.

no they are correct, that part of ojaveda is called Akkaio it has sections known as Dsar\'s and indeed more should be added before other towns, tis expected to expand anyways, all unopened doors need to be opened

but you already knew that

For those that are confused, you can think of it like New York City.  Akkiao is like a borough.  (i.e. Manhattan, Queens, ...)
Its not exactly the same but the analogy works to give people the general idea.

Ynnwns, because their architecture rocks so much \\o/

Now that the fight over naming convention has died down a bit, I completely agree with Draklar.

In fact, the only one I don\'t want to see is one for the Dwarfs ( either race ). Not that I have anything against them. But just like those tunnels in the dungeon ( mines / labyrinth, did I miss any names? ), I would like to be able to see whatever the Dev\'s add. As a Ynnwn, there\'s no way a dwarf could invite me into his home!

I think there should come a Stonebreaker city first (have you seen his architecture! Huge palaces with high towers and great halls!)

And that is probably why a Stonebreaker city won\'t come next: too big, huge buildings/ architecture, wich means a lot of work for the devs. I think a Stonebreaker city won\'t be added so soon. Maybe a small Dermorian village will be next. If not, they probably extend Akkaio/ Ojaveda.

Hmmm...yes I think the Demorian village might be built next for the architecture is actually quite primitive...based on trees and so on. The Krans architecture seemes easy enough to build soon for it\'s from rock. Other than that I think it might be nice to have a underground city for a change...might employ the use of those water shafts sooner.

I hate to say it, but all the cities are underground.  We\'re in a cave.


I think some farmland outside of akkaio would be nice.  The NPCs also talk about a weapons market which is closed off are present but should be reopenned soon.
