[Ooc] Mob-Spawning In The Vale

[kuroi13 67]

I noticed that mob-spawning was turned off in the Vale recently. While this is kind of nice since no one has to worry quite as much about being swarmed at night by mobs, there's an evident lack of fauna these days. For instance, I went looking for some chickens today since there was a request for eggs on the notice board. Although it didn't take me too terribly long to find a couple, it's definately a lot quieter around the Vale... Also, I don't believe livestock can be bred either, which poses a problem should we ever want to farm any sort of livestock.

I don't know whether this was intentional or not, but I'm a little concerned about the future of our 'mob supply'.

If it was intentional though, perhaps we could make a barnyard or something where a new region could be made with mob-spawning allowed?

Thanks~

Are you sure you can't breed animals? I swear you could before :blink: Also, it would be nice to have a barn (Not for sheep, of course!). Somewhere past the southern forest, I believe would be a nice place to build it.

This happened in Silvia, which I regioned recently. You'll need to get a GM to region your pens and turn Mob-spawning to ON. Make sure they're well lit, and your farm animals won't despawn. I don't know why this problem occurs, but this seems to fix it.

These pens would go against our culture, however. It is indeed correct that mob spawning was recently turned off, with the new patch the monsters just kept building up and the sun could not harm them so their numbers increased every night. The volume of monsters was impossible to live with, but now we have the Sheriff back we can rest a little easier in our burrows without having them bombarded at night by zombies.

Personally I say no to pens as it goes against our lore and culture, but it would be more efficient. I find it much more pleasant to have them running around The Vale. Does turning mob spawning off make you unable to breed mobs? That is strange. :/

What about designating breeding fields? Instead of a 'animal pen' the halflings can lead their animals to a nice open area where an animal's passions for food and love-making can be allowed.
