I finally have a good idea!
« on: December 09, 2002, 04:27:37 pm »
I don\'t know if you guys already thought of this, but here goes...

With the coming Holidays and consumption of egg nog, maybe some snow in the nation, we could have seasons/holidays!

In the fall, the trees would be bare, and leaves would cover the ground.
In the winter snow would cover the ground and lakes would freeze over (revealing secret dungeons/items)
I\'ll leave spring and summer to you geniuses at work.

MAYBE- you guys can have holidays with christmas and easter egg hunts.

Gentle rains, come wash my sins away. Cleanse me of these memories.

Yeah, and while we are at it lets make the game 4 times bigger then it really is, changing all the textures every season would be very big.

Snow under ground a strange concept. Even seasons is pushing it.

You are very right, I never thought about that, Where the planeshift world is would most likely always be cold unless near the crystal.

You have a point there, rathma...

Oh well.  I doubt there will be seasons and weather.  At the most, there might be mist, but thats it.

Honestly seasons and holidays aren\'t a bad idea at all. They would simply have to match the Planeshift setting. Doesn\'t the crystal in fact draw its power from the sun above the surface? And perhaps the lake itself could be affected by its source.

I agree that Christmas doesn\'t make sense nor does snow really but after all the various peoples of Yliakum DO worship two gods in particular and it is likely they would have holidays to celebrate various events.

Pehaps it is an idea best left for far later in development but I think they are a good start.

eh i dont think egg nog isnt that bad of an idea, a bar could sell them when the owner feels like it, and maybe decorate the house/bar to your holiday likings

...why is snow so insane? im not saying i want it implemented, but if there\'s water and rain, there could be snow...dont see why it COULDNT happen, because it could

maybe if your far away from the crystal, there can be ice and snow, not seasons or anything but its ALWAYS like that...because, yes you guessed it, water freezes

And if they put in christmas, they would have to put all the other religions holidays in.

Christmas doesn\'t make sense in Planeshift, I don\'t think its even based on Earth. I could see something Christmas-like, like Talad Day or The Lament of Laanx or some such thing, and something eggnog like, or heck Im sure Pterasaur eggs would make plenty of it ;)

Snow is a form of precipitation from condensation so it is a possibility but that is up to the Devs and I haven\'t seen any comment as such yet. To my knowledge one of the major results of condensation in a cave is stalagtites and stalactites, Yliakum itself being a giant stalactite.

The point is its a fantasy world not quite like our own and a fantasy culture so things would be different.
