Server 3.0 Info Dump

[Hiebe 2493]

Disclaimer: After much confusion, a disclaimer must be added. This topic is completely speculation and is not fact, and is just a brainstorming location for a new map, something that isn't even in the near future, or even this year.

Server 3.0

Hello everyone of Lord of the Craft. As you all know I'm Hiebe and recently I have had the feeling of wanting to collect information for well SERVER 3.0!!!! Now some of you say you don't want it or think we should stay here but in good time we will eventually leave and when that happens I want the Admin and Development team to have a load ton of information of what the players wish to have on this new map.

Also thank you all for your Ideas I will make sure to address everything from resource gathering to cities to plugins to everything in good time. One poll at a time

Future Updates

• Polls
• Races
• Locations
• Lore
• How to get to 3.0 land
• If we should even leave
• How to survive it

Discussed Topics
-Nations that will move on

• Dwarves
• Orcs
• Elves
• Human
• Now I would like to say this is not going to get rid of the other races. Maybe the elves all reunite like they did before? Humans and dwarf alliance for a great military power hold of the region. Anything is possible.

Collecting Resources

It shall be region based with regions giving bonuses to their main resource IE wheat grows faster in flatlands

Mines should be uses in a vein like system where you can have mine-shafts then have the veins show up kinda like skyrim where once you mine it the vein will take a time to reload and based on the resource like diamonds it will take longer. Most common veins will be coals and the least diamond. More valuable the vein is the deeper into the mine it will be and the least common it will. This way it we can control how much diamonds and ores are given into the server so one person cant go on a mining overall.

-Landmass

• Two Large Islands
• Use Voxel, Worldpainter, and World Edit to make the world.
• Includes Dungeons and special landmarks
• Its shall be based off this

Natives Interpretation

Again, this is for WHEN we leave not RIGHT NOW but much later.

Mines and Multi Verse

Someone suggested (JCQuinn) that mining regions should use a multi verse plugin where if someone would go into the mineshaft then you would be teleported to a mining world where is can be region and regened without destroying the world and corrupting the main map.

Am I the only person who does not want to move to a different continent, But simply change certain things :/

Makes sense. Big ol' killing each other spree would be cool. Resulting in everyone to re-roll as infants, fending for our baby friends from packs of monsters with our cuteness. Growing up at the same rate and if anyone sets there age any higher, ban them for powering. Jeezus! Why am I not lore-master! xP

I feel that maybe certian players could roll as peole of the new land like of the same race but different culture. They could be like in few numbers cause of a deasise and help the refugees and even invite them into their culture if they choose so.

One Kingdom I say. Condense everything in a way where we can run a whole kingdom properly. Only a few shops and taverns with constant activity because they will be the only ones. If we change anything at all we should do this. Perhaps we all leave for ArmaLuna.

Good idea but where goes the diversity? Conflict between races ??

I second this motion.

[Wretched 2075]

I like the idea of a natural disaster...

-A GM could slowly rise sea levels untill all of Asulon was 'flooded'?

-Earthquakes, where blocks slowly start to disappear and people take damage?

-A huge volcano, fire and lava would fall over the world?

-Mobs could begin to over-populate and drive us out?

-Global warming (Trolololo)?

And this is if we actually left. I think IF we did leave, the races would need to be closer together and perhaps less big empty towns and cities, people shouldn't create them unless they KNOW they will stay supported.

[Aerinyes 402]

Big Fat NO to a new map.. UNTIL there is fleshed out lore for all Four Races and their SubRaces.

I'd like to see only four races and keep it there. No offense to Wayah, Mori, and Khajyr, but there's just not enough players on the server to justify them.

I thought I was the only one. Dont get me wrong I LOVE Asulon. There are so many incredible things on it, but there are also so many problems that dont seem to be fixable soon enough. For example. The spread rp, too many towns and cities and thousands of people wanting to call themselves Lord or KIng even if it means they are king or lord of two people. Now this is what bothered me the most. Half of the charters out there that got accepted, were accepted because so many people posted +1 support and the charter owner believed that to be "Im living here." When in actual fact, the supporter has done this 7 other times on 7 other charters. Problem caused: Too many towns. Too many cities. Too many wannabee nations. All the ones that are MEANT to stay are way too far apart to interact.

I mean why was Solace so busy? Because it was so easy to get to. Now I know some people will say "Oh but just because its easy to get to, doesnt mean it should be the centre of rp." Well actually, yes. This is a game, it shouldnt be a hassle and a nuisance to do anything. Yes things should be spread apart but there should be easier ways to get there. Yes we have fast-travel but to implement it or use it you need 1) cash and 2) cash. Al'khazar. The true meaning of an rp hub. There were like 20-40 people there at a time during peak hours. So far in my time in Asulon I havent found a single rp hub that even comes CLOSE to measuring tothat, except the Cloud Temple after a war. In my opinion, people wanting to be kings and lords and ruling everything by doing minimal work and simply starting their own nation or city is utterly ridiculous and is killing us. But I give credit to Mogroka though, the beast that he is. He is fixing it as best he can rply(at least thats what it looks like) Conquering and forcing them to live under one roof. But unfortunately, it has gone too far already. There are too many cities and too much everything and they are all too spread out for that to happen. It seems they are more under a single banner than a roof.

So in my opinion, if we DO get a new map (which i hope we do at some point), then there should be the perfect mix of Aegis and Asulon. To start of this perfect mix and to finish my lil' rant, we need to have it like it was Aegis, well at least similar. One city per race/nation. Charters have to be MUCH stricter. There should only be another city/town if it is really necessary like for example if the main city is too crowded and there is no room or there is a rebellion, or if the town/city has a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT culture to that of the main city, so much so that it would make no rp sense for them to simply live amongst the rest. So yeah. My point:

Less cities/towns. Same perming. Much more strict charters, but more used than it was in Aegis.

((btw this was a spur of the moment lil ting, so its not very well structured. I could lay out my ideas a lot more. I have plenty more ideas of what a perfect LotC would be like. At least they are in my eyes.))

"If" we are going to move again, lets look at ideas to prevent having to move again....and again....and again....

[Distuth 69]

One thing that doesn't appear to have been considered with this whole idea. I've noticed that most of the ideas involve condensing everyone into a handful of cities. This is great for Roleplay, but it does have one big problem. Resources. With permissions as they currently are, resources like redstone, diamonds, gold, etc, etc is going to be a little harder to come by. VIPs will fill part of that need in the wilds, but without at least some method of renewing things, there is going to come a time when resources run low enough that the playerbase starts to notice and demand action.

And if when that happens, there isn't a plan in place, someone is going to go off half cocked and do something stupid like opening the wilds down to bedrock (Presumably on purpose this time).

So. Whats going to be done about resources? Regeneration was tried before, and didn't go so well.

Legit and proper rp Mines can be set up all over the land. Mines are not rp hubs so it makes little difference. You can have the select cities and then spread out you have proper mines with a shack or hut or two to make it seem more rp. Because that wont take away the rp and it helps get the resources back. It doesnt have to be under a city.

I want Aegis back. Say what you will; The last 2 months were the greatest. The Human / Dwarf vs Orc / Elven war was simply amazing. In 5 minutes, you could rally up a force, go and attack, and BOOM! Instant amazing RP. There was no war-claim, no nothing needed. Spur of the moment action. Thats what I loved.

Now, everything is -way- too spaced out. Being in Australia, there are 17 people on at a time. To spread by 7 nations, that are each 2000 blocks away...Its simply not enough. If I run into someone; Amazing! RP! Guess what? They log out 10 minutes later. It is putting me off LotC. A lot.
