Islands
« on: June 29, 2003, 04:29:05 am »
I was thinking it would be really cool for you guild to have an island, u could have a dock where u could fish trade with other guilds or transport. Wouldnt that be cool?

how large would that island be?? would be a bit strange if all guilds got one and the ocean would be dotted with small islands owned by a hundred different guilds...

It seems like the real idea of the game disappeared. I didnt know there where goin to be a ocean?

And as Bonez says, the ocean would be over with dots everywhere so the next island would be about 10 meters away from your dock?!

But if you think like this; there will be thousands of dimensions where the islands placed. So for example, there were goin to be a teleport in the Stone Labyrint, so if you walk through that you get to your guilds\' island. Or if he guild has a HQ somewhere in town you could go there, and there be a teleport there.

Of course it would be kinda complicated, but it would work wiht the basic idea from Xalthar.

Well, there couldn\'t be that many islands in the first place so that\'s a limiting factor.  Xadoo is probably right though they\'d either be on the surface, or there would be an island world.  But the whole idea of islands is cool.  I\'d want lw to have a tropical island/fortress/city. :)

The island concept is already built into the game.  In essence an island is a separated place which can have its own culture ecosystem you name it on it.  In the plane shift concept a new zone or area is a large cavernous room which can be separated by a long tunnel system.  It can also be separated by a water passage that you have to swim through.  Or you might have to use magic to gate there.  So from one perspective plane shift is nothing but island?s.

i dunno know about that Fish, but islands of course would cost extremely large amounts of money so there would be very few.
