[Events] Habitats!

[shimmeringbliss 268]

 

 

 

Hello LOTC, this is shimmeringbliss coming to you with a brand new LM initiative! Its spear headed by myself, and several ET actors whom I dub caretakers. Since taking over the creature index a month ago, what I really wanted to do was create a 'nature zone' in which players will always find themselves with consistent interactable rp with the environment, instead of getting lucky to ride on an event ^^;;

 

Current habitats in existence

1) Darkbloom forest, South of Linandria

2) Wrun Woods, East of the snow elven city

3) Amberwoods, East of Haelun'or

So what is an interactive environment or a nature zone, you might ask? Well to put it simply, the habitats were designed to be alive, and represent the creature and plant index, in which the players write submissions to have more variety of flora and fauna into our world. You can expect unique creature events in these areas, such as Morko bear patrols, or Amber wolf attacks in the Darkbloom Forest (Courtesy of your friendly neighborhood ET)!  The plants in both pictures can be found on the plant index, and can be [Harvested]. 

 

[Harvesting] is a mini game in which you must guess the plant's identity based on the appearance, location, and physical description of the plant. Any sign that has a [What am I?] on the plant means that its harvestable! You are given two guesses, but do visit our plant index in the lore submission forum to increase your chances of getting the herb ^^. To interact with the plant, you simply need to pm our ET/LT for assistance!

 

(These herbs are for rp mostly, and cant interact with nexus)

 

The main goal behind this program is to get people interested in the world-building lore that our players submit, to really make use of the great material that the players submit all the time. I'm hoping that characters visiting will take the time to appreciate the various plants and occasional animal that inhabit our world! Hopefully these habitat programs will cause your character to go travelling and meeting other characters!  In total, I have planted over 15 unique plants to be harvested, and some plants can be found in other habitats due to the nature of the plants adaptability.

To players interested in roleplaying in these habitats: 

 

1) You need to contact a ET/LT about wanting to rp in ___ habitat

2) Remember its an rp environment, things might not go smoothly!

3) To gather the plants, you'll need to guess the plants correctly. Harvestable plants all have a sign saying [What am I?]

4) Yes you can use the plant index right here :P 

5) Have fun! 

 

 

Current habitats in existence

3) Amberwoods, East of Haelun'or

 

 

To various faction leaders: 

 

 

As some of the leaders know, I have been going around talking to major player factions if they were interested in having an interactive environment near their settlements. If you are interested, you must first meet and agree to two prerequisites before talking to the LT. 

 

 

 

1) Being supportive, and allowing all players to interact with said environment. This is not for any personal gain of the faction, but rather a 'natural habitat' that exists outside of the faction's influence. So no guard towers, walls, or houses. (Not even druid groves). No monopoly. 

 

2) Fully agreeing that the region created over the habitat will ultimately belong to the server, meaning it is unconquerable, and is subject to changes from events. 

 

Current habitat wait list

1) Dwarves

2) Haria

3) Westerlands

 

 

Form to apply for the creation of a habitat

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Name of group requesting a habitat:

 

 

 

 

• Where will be the habitat/What is the nearest settlement? :

 

• What will be in the habitat? :

 

• What will the habitat look like? (pic ref):

 

• Who is the appointed caretaker of said habitat? (If its very far away/hard to reach to, a staff member might be required) :

 

• Do you have Primary Region Owner approval for this habitat? (If non, a GM and above will do) : 

 
 

 

 

 

(These are the two albums I took for my habitats)

In the Westerlands we already have an interactive enviroment, instead of trees we have hordes of zombies trying to kill you, and instead of identifying plants you can identify the bodies of royal family members.

This would be cool, anyone can make one?

Pretty awesome idea. I participated in the Darkbloom Forest one, and I was pleasantly surprised actually. It was incredibly enjoyable.

(All of the herbs we got are now in the hands of the druid nursery, ha)

Though I do have a question. Recently, one of my new lore submissions was accepted, and a heavy part of it has to do with the harvesting stage. Would it be possible to utilise this sort of system for its implementation? Otherwise, I'll see if any ET might be interested in the project. Just an inquiry!

Well I dont see why not, I could have veins of ore that would function the same way as the herbs. A little quarry out within the habitat to make it convenient.

brand new 

 

 

 

This is exactly what I wanted! Bravisimo! 

 

 

When people use the words "brand new" I wonder if they are thinking of me.

Yeap! Anyone can make one, but the prerequisites still apply. You can apply for it under MAPA currently run by @Calioos aka Shadowedoblivion, and be given LC to work on your zone. But I must repeat myself that even though you may make it, you are not entitled to 'own' it. Its like building roads, and handing it back to the server, so everyone can use it.
