maybe if there are other realms, it would be nice to put a hometown of each race then. that on every plane a race has its own town. So that on a plane (of fire maybe?) the hometown of diabolie and ynnwn the hometown would be, and that the starting town would be the town of ylians and xacha.

I think every race (excluding those created by Talad and the other god whose name i forgot) should have his own plane. If i understand Axsyrus correctly this is how the devs are going to build it.
And yes i have said it before, i will just say it again, the level of magic should vary. Maybe i open a topic about this in the wish section sometime.

I have a great idea.  Lets duplicate the concept of \"planes\" exactly as they\'re described in D&D, because that is the only possible real definition of a plane.

Furthermore, let us associate these \"planes\" with bland, overused themes.

Sorry that I\'m sarcastic, school is breaking me at the moment :-/  To me, the currently understood geography of the PlaneShift world allows for a lot of \"setting\" diversity, and as Axsyrus said, a few portals to other worlds should be \"more than enough\".  

I do object to the idea of each plane being heavily themed towards one race, element, etc. - I think that other \"worlds\" would probably be very diverse.  With regards to magic, the source of magical energy in Yliakum is some combination of the glyphs (which seem to be universal) with the manipulation of energy of the crystal, so I would suggest that perhaps while the strength of magic does not vary, the availability and type of magical energies might.

The nice thing with portals is the possibility of adding new worlds whenever needed. I agree that the worlds should be diverse (and large).
However there should be difference in accent in landscape and architecture styles (as in morrowind). Since many races came through portals it is logical that some have their own homeplane.

Maybe the glyphs can have more power in some worlds than others. Of course some magic should be present in each world. Less powerfull magic in a plane makes a physical technological abandoned civilation more likely. But i do like your idea too.
