just some of my ideas
« on: January 22, 2004, 04:16:41 pm »
Most of these ideas were inspired on things i\'ve heard about, so I\'m not that creative myself.

First one: Make a few kingdoms with real people ruling them, no NPC\'s

second: give those kingdoms a few dragons to defend themselves against invasions (dragons rock!). They can only be awakaned in an emergency

third: Every once in a while a dark lord of some kind tries to take over the world with his gigantic army so the kingdoms need to join forces to defeat him, even if they\'re at war

fourth: make some races that live together with animals, like a race that rides dragons (not those strong and huge dragons, that wouldn\'t be fair) or small race that rides wolves (wolves aren\'t too big, so a normal sized race would look kinda stupid)

fifth: make an in-game store, not a website where you can buy equipment

sixth: it would be cool to be able to get your own boat,
so players can roam the waters of planeshift and do pirating or exploring, trading, etc.

seventh: if a player wants to maybe he can choose the kingdom he wants to belong to and then will be placed in a random house in that kingdom, with two or three other players, which are each others family in the Planeshift world (player can\'t choose who his family will be, but you can\'t do that in real life either, right?)

eighth: if you own and live in a house and you are near your home a lot, you can choose the option to get new family members, so players don\'t just appear, but get \"born\"

another one: your family can\'t attack you, and you can\'t attack them (at least for a while, so you can gain enough experience to not get killed by them instantly)

last one: an ability that enables you to talk with all animals, and not just your own pet. How good you can do that depends on how good you are with that skill, but you can only hear other people talking to animals if you are extremely well trained at that skill.

Well, I hope at least some of them will be used.

First one: Did you ever read the Settings?
Quote
Eight dignitaries called \"Octarchs\" rule the city; each of them supervises and is responsible for one level of Yliakum. Together they form the \"Circle of the Octarchs\" or \"Internal Circle\", that takes decisions regarding all the people living in the city.


second: Dragons? You mean Pterosaurs and Megaras right? Cause they\'ll be the only flying creature you\'ll see around PS (for what I know).

third: There are \"dark guilds\" that have that role.

fourth: The races are already made, and what you are saying is that a race that started with a little of Animal Trainers ability had to be created, right?

fifth: Oh really?? Man why didnt they think of that? I mean, it\'s logic there will be a in-game store, that was a useless point.

sixth: A boat? For free? I think you can get one, there are  fishermen and they need tools(and the boat is one of them) dont they?

seventh: Maybe you can chose in which level (of the world) to start and the thing of owning a house for free was discussed, again I say \"Don\'t make my job useless.\"

eighth: That is a good idea, but the number of family members had to be controled..

another one: Yeah... I guess you shouldnt fight with your family.

last one: That already exists, Empathy is what you discribed.

I\'m not sure if the \"evil\" guilds are sufficient to provide the whole dark-lord-with-big-horde plot device.  I\'m all for large-scale events, but they\'re difficult to pull off correctly (they have to be carefully balanced, any changes in map/geography need to be accounted for, relevant NPCs must be changed etc.)

Yeah, basically, you\'ve got some good ideas in here, some awful ones that need to be totally removed, and some mediocre ones that you could have refined if you\'d read the setting and player\'s guide and stuff. All in all, good ideas, but you shoulda done more research.

This post hasnt got much to do with anything but hey

I reckon that some really powerfull creatchures should spawn in the city occasionally and kill people.  therefore players would have to be defended by the stronger warriors and that would create a comunity feel to it.  Also it would be 40 times easier to programe than the other ideas.

This had something to do with your 3rd post but nothing to do with taking over a city.

Yeah I believe he means Lord of the rings dark lord not person with a couple dozen men dark lord, although the game will be great I doubt any guild will grow enough to outnumber A city so that was a good idea.

But the creation of an evil Lord would require the creation of a good one, because not everyone wants to be good, and what about us? (This question seems like a song :D) Neutral people will have the role of inocennt people? I dont want to suffer attacks from big monsters that will make dust my dear old house and to have to rebuild it all, just cause it\'s fun for the good guys.
