Lighting the Darkness
« on: March 29, 2008, 11:57:19 pm »
Just curious if there are any merchants that sell torches or, if not, are there any plans to make torches available?

I think this would add even more realism and RP opportunities.
I told my wife that a husband is like a fine wine; he gets better with age. The next day, she locked me in the cellar.

Wow, and to think that the last I heard on the subject, it was not even an option. I think people that say Planeshift is developing too slow just don't pay attention to how many things come along that at one time weren't even high on the list of things to do. *cough* Like chat bubbles *cough*  ;)

I don't even pay attention to the chat bubbles, but torches, whenever they come along, would be awesome (or w/e is used for movable light).
You see eyes in the darkness;
Are you scared?
Looking deep into those eyes, what do you see?
A soft kindness?   Vile hatred?
Many are the emotions that make up me.

One other thing about torches I'm not sure has been discussed yet, is it's not just about getting torches ingame.  Right now we run and stand a certain way, regardless of what we are holding.  I would have to think torches would be most effective if held up.  So animation would have to be worked on to get that looking right.  Both for standing and running.   :sweatdrop:
