Distance from Oja To hydlaa
« on: August 03, 2006, 12:23:11 am »
Are you happy with the distance from Oja to Hydlaa or would you like a change?

I'll calculate the totals tommorow, and the following day.

Please include only short answers, yes/no, with a short explanation.

Are you expecting this to change? :)

I'm just waiting for it to expand even further.

No I'm not happy. I would like it to be further away from hydlaa.

no, as most big cities are MILES apart and thats not the case at the moment. So it should be even further.

No, I'm not happy with the distance between Ojaveda and Hydlaa as it is now.

Yes, I'd like it to be longer -much longer.

But what I'd like to see is several different routes to take, each of different length, with the longest route being the easiest and safest but least rewarding in terms of Experience Trias Loot and Progression Points gained, and the shortest route being the most dangerous and difficult one to complete, with a high chance of ending up in the DR, rather than at the destination you wished to reach when you set out on the journey, and with the most rewards for those who succeed.

[Oh, yeah I want to mention Rivers and what I'd like to see concerning them... but I'll leave that for another post, and another time.]

I'm not happy. I arrive now in moment, but I think is too far for people beginning that need some of the guys at ojaaveda for different reason, as training and others. Please remember when you where just pinheads asking for basic help in front of Harnquist, never forget that.

I think they should add other major citie in before expanding the distance between Hydlaa and Akkaio.
Why?
because then you'd get even more of  "oh em gee, I dun wanna have to travel soo far!!! unfair 2 Enkis! hax11!111!oneoneone1!"
Let the Kran or the Klyros have that luxury for a little while eh?

Try running to the other side of the Bronze Doors area! Those who think the distance could be greater could always ask the DM to let them respawn there ... Hahahaha! Seriously, though, I would expect Akkio to stay where it is, there will be other dsan eventually even further away! I would rather have the devs add a '/dig litter' option for mining that only worked near Akkio!

It's way too close as is. Major cities need to be spread apart. Far, far apart. Just make sure to keep those enkis furthest away.  :)

Hmm... The thing is that I don't know how lengthening the distance will affect things. It might end up leading to all the Enkis staying in Oja and all the others staying in Hydlaa, with the occasional people with a lot of time on their hands travelling occasionally, then killing themselves to get back home. (That is, unless the DR is lengthened to be longer than the distance between Oja and Hydlaa). Really, I think the cities (Oja especially) should be completed before the distance between them is set. Then there is less of a need to travel.

AS you can see, no one is happy with the current distance from Oja to Hydlaa, some say make it further, some say keep it at that or shorten it.

This should be a wake up call devs.

I honestly don't care if it is longer or shorter, just as long as there *is* an Oja..

Keep doing what you are doing Devs, it is all good.  :thumbup:
