Oja getting bigger doesnt neccisarily mean its going to get more popular, as more then likely as it gets bigger, it will be getting laggier, Plus it would need some specific attractions IE: New shops for new things, New mobs, new quests, new trainers ect. Sure the empty space would be ok for Certain RP, But i think most people would stick to towns they can get
the most use out of.
Currently the new part of oja, doesnt have anything new, and its been here how many months? No shops, No quests, no nothin, and from what I saw, it isnt that hard to get an NPC a shop, as the smith in amdenier got his shop, and smith equipment, only 1 or 2 days after amdenier was available on the RP server. So whats taking so long with the Oja NPC's?
Hav'nt been online since the 7th though, as im having problems with my ATI, so Id have to double check when i get the chance...
Well I think that in the future Ojaveda... according to settings, Ojaveda will be very large, catering for many different types of professions and likes. Having each dsar dedicated to a certain profession, tradition and pack of Enkidukai could mean player population growth. It may look now Hydlaa being populated is a good place to go, but when all the other cities are implemented and players are spread out less people in Hydlaa could mean Ojaveda's Markets could make it the market central, with all the other areas that is good for training too, once Hydlaa is not the center of the game (right between BD and Oja, close to Gug and Amdeneir (for the time being)). You could find a dramatic change in the popular cities.
About Ojaveda taking so long to get some settings work done. Well:
1) the massive argument going on between Xoel and Talad could of made Talad not want progress done on Xoels work. (I'm just saying don't know if it actually has happened)
2) Most of the settings devs could have been busy with other things
3) Most of Amdeneir's settings probably was done awhile a go by the settings devs, but with DK coming so soon without notice.
4) DK has NPCs so does Amdeneir, are their quests in Amdeneir?
5) Getting a Blacksmith to Amdeneir is I guess a serious thing, Blacksmiths are one of the most populated areas IG at any location (sometimes even The Explorers Outpost, being so close to Tin and Bronze mines) my question is, is there anyother NPCs there? There also is no new Blacksmith to Dsar Kore and Steel Bazaar
Just because it is taking sometime for devs to add NPCs doesn't mean the future will change, once the NPCs are there they are there whether sooner or later. I don't think it would really matter.
Anyways this is getting off topic.
But I do congratulate Realito on his new GH! But I do think that was very over priced!
