Spawn points

[Caraick]

If you knew how the Death Realm may develop... 

* Caraick is now very curious, and awaits this eagerly

This is probably been pointed out but can we have the spawn points back to the way they were back in 0.4.0.0 it would be more better for roleplaying that an enki would come back to the world where he was born and raised. Then spawned at the back of Harn's house in the way, and yes you might say some of the races are been spawned at the back of Harn's but I remember the people spawned there was just next to his house where the table is.So can you move it back to where they were.

Well as obvious as it is, their idea is failing. The reason it was put in Hydlaa for all was because they did statistics on Enkidukai and Kran new players and found out that most of them left the game quicker than players/characters starting in Hydlaa. But ever since some how player numbers never increased but infact kept decreasing.

But what about them starting in Hydlaa and if they go into Death Realm they re-spawn in their home town?
Although to me I would say eventually everyone starts in their home town and when they die they re-spawn in a safer area of the map that they died in, that way it would stop people from using DR as a quick way to get back to Hydlaa.

But I do think that spawn points in a whole needs some discussion.

i'd love to know who did these statistics
hydlaa is more active there is no need to do weird statistics on enkidukai

Since almost all the quest chains now start in Hydlaa it would be kind of pointless to have new players spawn outside of hydlaa since they would not be able to get any, or very many, quests, until they make their way to Hydlaa. Sounds like a good way to drive new players out of the game, have them spawn in a place where they can't get any quests. It seems people are making assumptions that a chatacter has their home town in Ojaveda or gug just because they are running an enki or a Kran. There is nothing to say that every enki comes from Ojaveda or every kran comes from Gug. I think most people play that their characters have come form different levels or different regions of the dome and have traveled to Hydlaa, Gug and Ojaveda, not that they were born and raised there. For those characters who were born outside of and traveled to the Hydlaa region no real IC reason for them to spawn in another city other than Hydlaa.

How about making it a configurable option to spawn in one's racial area or Hydlaa; with Hydlaa being the default?

Good idea nova. But Their are quests you can do in oja

Long term fix would be to have different portals send people to different places.  So the death realm would have a portal for hydlaa and one for Ojaveda.  People using the death realm to travel is a potential problem but, one that can be dealt with separately.  It's supposed to weaken you if you go there too often, so maybe knock off stats if people do.

As a side note.  I think different gods should impart different perks onto their followers.  Dakkru could give penalty free death...  But that's probably very longterm.

Ummm no, Xoel told me someone did some statistics on Enkidukai's or Kran starting in Ojaveda or Gug, which had more people leaving the game after a certain amount of hours (of game play) than races that started in Hydlaa.

I do see where you are coming from Sarva, but there are a few easy quests in Ojaveda and Gug and more still to come for both Oja and Amdeneir. Maybe also in the Tutorial to get out they use the Pterosaur Service, which will teach them how to use it. (I don't know if this is the way it is now though)

@Elkarway - I actually disagree I think there should be approximately 10 portal spots to get out of the DR, but only 1 at random is open the rest are closed, so you got to search for that one open portal. This would tie into the DR being hard to get out of (even if you know your way) then you would (like from my previous post) respawn in the same map you died in, but in a safer area.

@Nova I disagree, people shouldn't be able to choose which town to go to because it won't keep racial towns to the majority of that one race, you would get (like what we have now) most of the people in that town aren't belonging to that towns race, maybe their own race town and Hydlaa could be their option?

I think Nova's idea
and elkarway's ideas
are practically the same
but said in a different way.
