Feedback And Suggestions For The Next Island

[elsewb1939 25]

I hate the map we are on now. It looks so... bad! Everything is clustered and it just isn't right. On the new map, we need to have large areas for each race, so it would generate more RP. There are just houses everywhere! It looks horrible. We need a new map. Or we just need to fix up the one we have now.

I don't mean to be rude in any way but this is my idea for the next island. We don't have a "next island" I'm not sure what the rest of you think but if I have to build another home and set up another town and gather MORE resources I'd rather just wait for 3.0. Anyway I don't feel these islands bring much rp except in the first few days when everyone is working together after that we just go or separate ways.

The dev server would also be nice to have up, so it can be finished sooner, but I'm not sure what its deal is.

The only problems I have with the current map is that

1) There are too many huge houses and villages everywhere, that you can't really tell any towns apart, since they're so close.

2) I can't find a lot of mobs that I need: Everyone keeps killing them off, and the spawn rate is really low for mobs such as cows and sheep, which I can't seem to find ANYWHERE.

3) There aren't any big events. The only drama I've seen so far is a guy going around as a pumpkin god. Otherwise, nothing seems to really happen.

Other than those three things, I'm fine.

Just a quick thing to add... About the no settlements/manors thing. Have you guys considered the fact that he races aren't actually unified? Take humans for example. It is an outright lie to say that every, or even the vast majority of humans are supporters of the Oren empire. People will naturally break away from the main camp and move off to be elsewhere.

If we're only gonna be on the island for one, maybe two OOC weeks, then sure. But if people are going to be spending IC months on end on an island, they will naturally start to build more permenant and comfortable housing.

Not to mention, this is an IC issue. Don't want people having nice homes? Deal with it in RP.

All I care about is that it's prebuilt. These player buildings are clusterfucks of nothing but random cities and towns. Hell, even the High Elves don't have a proper, racist city.

Don't waste time on another island. I would rather the GMs put effort into 3.0 getting done quicker.

-Keep the awesome towering mountains, those are great.

-Maybe ask players to make more temporary looking houses/cities. Having a keep in temporary island makes no sense. Like more things made of just logs and wool that look like it could be moved.

As I've already stated, working on 2.5 or another 2.5 map takes absolute no work away from 3.0. If you don't understand how, go find my other reply explaining it. If you don't think we should move for other reasons, that is fine, but this reason in particular is based on speculation rather than facts.

Is the 3.0 build server is down (or the IP may have changed?)?

[Stag 3234]

I have been watching this thread and one of the big arguments to stay on this island is for everyone to focus their attention on 3.0

I hope you all realize that none of the builders for 3.0 have spent any time with the building of the island.

The fact is that a new island could be made by one single GM and it wouldn't take much time at all.

So saying that the Gm's would be fragmenting their time isn't a valid argument.

Furthermore it doesn't matter if you are comfortable with how the island is. It is supposed to be a hostile island that we can't stay on. From the beginning we have been told that we will be island hopping. I feel as though many of you have become attached to this temporary island when you should be excited for the RP that goes along with trying to survive island to island.

I think this problem sprouted out of the fact that we were allowed to become comfortable and settle this island.

So my original opinion which I believe is the current opinion of the GM's still stands in my mind. To make it to the 3.0 world we have to RP more island jumping. Otherwise it will just be "Oh. look. Another island. I guess we will leave Elysium..."

Try to think IG and not OOC

The problem is we've been uprooted so much since losing Asulon, I think a lot of people are tired of it. I personally don't care if working on other islands effects 3.0 or not, that's not why I don't want to move. I'm tired of switching maps. We've done this three times if you count the original, failed temp map, and it has gotten old. Let us relax until 3.0 is ready.

This probably won't be noticed but I was thinking we could have some place (whether an island or not) called "Valley of the Dead" or somethin with the words "Death" or "Dead" in it. It could be filled abundantly with mobs for mob hunting so we can gather resources from them. If you want for fun we could add a giant castle in the center of the place (preferably of nether brick) and it could be all lit up on fire. We could also have a giant hole in the castle with lots of flames as if something had destroyed it. This optional but possibly some major villainous guild could live inside the castle, just a suggestion. Sorry if it's not a very good idea and that I really don't have any lore to support it, :( , but I can think of some lore later ^_^. Thanks you guys!

I'm rather happy staying on this island for a while longer. The mobs have been an issue, but it's nothing a good old wall and some torches can't fix.

If you don't appreciate the loads of villages and houses everywhere, give them reason to live with you. The elves have moved their homes from a valley to a mountain, and have slowly cleaned up all the other unnecessary dwellings. If you want people to not build random houses, you'd better be prepared to give them an alternative.

Though it is somewhat ugly at times, I adore the current map we're on. Let us stay a while, and enjoy the peace and quiet.

I feel that switching maps would be a good idea because it does make sense, I think the map we are on should've just been to build a tent, have somewhere to live, and gather food to live; though since everyone has made big houses and have mined so much that they would be mad if we changed. If we do change I feel that it should have some villain in it like the wasteland or spirit-god trying to get us to go; people should build small villages, smallest house being a tent biggest house being 8x8. Since we are here to travel I agree on moving and it does create good rp. People on this next map(if changed) shouldnt go beserk, like stated, and mine every ore and build the biggest thing

Mobs should be set in certain areas and will take work but would be grey in the end. Events, for say we have an evil god, should be going on every once in a while like a hurricane or huge storm. We have command blocks now which can be used greatly like you say a hurricane comes rolling in all of you are thrown around and fall into another island, you use a command block to tp everyone back and forth ( prob not going to happen but is an idea).

So ya, I feel we should change xP
