Feedback And Suggestions For The Next Island

[elsewb1939 25]

We aren't saying that we want 3.0 now. Some just don't want another temp map that has little importance, and I'd rather have the 3.0 map built sooner than later so that it is truely the perfection that we all want. There's definitely no rush to any of this, I just don't want to move again.

Yeah, me too. I would want the 3.0 map built sooner, because we can actually start making things, and gathering resources, since the map will be permanent.

IDEA: Can we stop allowing factions to take the entire landmass? Oh, and I have a fully world painted map 'bout the size of Aegis, if the mods wunt it. or want to see it, ;p

I must say that I very much enjoy the amount of freedom we have now as rpers. If there is anything I would say keep it how it is. Just maybe restrict the land-claim game a little bit. I would just prefer not to have regions everywhere like we did in Asulon.

We could use another temp map with some cool lore to introduce another main antagonist. Make it really cool with dungeons and crypts which awaken something back (i.e. The undead).

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Besides the actual suggestions, I see a lot of people saying that we should not worry about another island and instead focus on 3.0. Here's my response to these opinions.

The current 2.5 map Elysium was designed, created via WorldPainter, planned out, had the lore written and developed, and had the majority of the details (such as pre-built areas and forests) completed by a single staff member. Not one builder from 3.0 was used, so creating and planning another island will not affect the development of 3.0 at all.

This is merely me responding to these opinions with some facts, but this is by no means a reasoning for why we will go to another map. To those who want to stay on the current map for the simple reason that they like the current RP and do not want to be burdened with travelling to another map, this view will be considered when deciding our next move.

I, Trotta, suggest we make the next island a large jungle with caves and ruins. We could have a protagonist. Maybe a ancient god seeking vengeance to the island inhabitants. Maybe we could find evidence of previos civilizations. I think we could make ancient temples, but more islands. I'm thinking vines and tiki torches. Ruins from past civilizations. It would be great rp. The players will try figuring out what happened to the previos inhabitants of the island while mysterious stuff is happening. Magic is destroying things. A dark vodoo. The god maybe was angered by the inhabitants so he made disasters happene everwhere. earthquakes, hurricanes, storms, tidal waves, ect.will post more when I get home

The next island should be below sea level and have a reef surrounding the island that keeps the sea from flooding. We got trapped on the below sea level island and have no means of escaping. We would face the threat of a flood. We do not know if the reefs keep the islands safe or not. Safe from a flood. One that would submerge the island and wipe out the races.

Hrm.. I would like a chain of strip-like islands in a crest form with a big central island that has an active volcano on it.

Perhaps like this with more strips of lands coming off the sides, though not too much so that the semi-circle shape can still be kept.

Also, more dungeons and things like that, ancient abandoned tombs, perhaps old looking ruins of once great cities for each race that can be repaired and used again, which could bring fun RP.

I also think something in the ocean would be interesting, though I don't know what could be down there other than ruins of an ancient city or something.

On a final note, please make an eruption.. nothing like this dormant excuse for a volcano on the current map (:P)

EDIT: Oh, and PLEASE~ add redstone.. :3

Stick with this island, improve the events. T'is my opinion.

Really, why do we need another island? This one is really nice! However, I believe the GM's should be adding a fear factor into the night. Possibly make a forest fire? A whord of mobs go and attack a village? Possibly the white roses base or the halfling village, or wherever gets attacked and they are forced to relocate to a better defended position.

I honestly believe this island could work if the GM's pushed everyone together through events.

Simply go into creative for an hour, spawn a load of mobs and with a few broadcasts you've started something fun for a village to defend itself. You don't need lore for it! Just the creative drive to go out there and drop hell on a few people.

((Also, if they ***** and whine do what ya did in the old days and tell them to "Cram a sock in it and carry on". If they bicker and whine about their village being burned down.. Well, they shouldn't have built soo far away from a safer capital where soldiers patrol.

[Stag 3234]

Also it is in my opinion that it doesn't matter if the current island is working. The fact is the continent in 3.0 is far far away and the trip would kill us if we didn't happen upon an island. Also we shouldn't be trying to resettle... We have gotten to comfortable on Elysium when we should be trying to secure resources to move on.

Personally I think it is weird that so much stone is being used in all of the towns. It can't be enforced but when we advance to a new island people should take into consideration the amount of land scarring and wasted resources they are doing. Hmmmphh there's my hippie moment ^^

[Skippy 2466]

If we are forced to move, disrupting our role-play and everything we've achieved so far on this temp map, I'm sure not only I, though many others will stop playing LoTC until 3.0. STOP making us re-do what we've made. Let us stay in one place until 3.0. No new maps. Let us just stay here, relax, and role-play in 2.5. Instead of having one of the staff members work on a map we're going to leave eventually, have that staff member do something on the 3.0 Dev. Server. Please, reconsider this.

[Dun_Irongut 104]

I have several ideas that I'd like to spout out, but I'm going to have to agree with Skippy. If anything, find ways to manipulate the current world, even if that takes some RP intervention from the gods.

[Caln McHarnish/porkchopp2 71]

Please oh please give us a main antagonist.

Erhmagerd...yes! Please do the wasteland RP. That would be amazingness. I can imagine this would bring great RP. Danny, please please please do this!

[Kaun 102]

Well, if we do have a 2.5 x2 map, then I think the next area should be a part continent and part islands map. Perhaps the continent and islands could be on the same continent as 3.0 but a far different location. Make half the map, more or less, a continent and the rest, or less, island. Whatever is left can be for ships and the vast ocean upon which they shall sail. These are some of my thoughts on this and I will try thinking of more for a more valued opinion that we all can agree on.
