Feedback And Suggestions For The Next Island

[Kardel 1054]

the next island should definitely have less mobs, and as was mentioned above should have places in which proper settlements can be established. The current island did not go too well, it ruined RP completely, because one step out your front door at night meant death.

Lots of little islands would be interesting, I think! People could claim their own island, some could be much smaller than others, and there could be one fairly large one as the 'main island'

It would also be pretty cool if the islands were all in a shape, like a symbol that means something.

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.

I completely agree, I'm quite tired of the bare bones gathering everyone does at the end and then all the ugly random homes that come after. If we move to another map make it known that we are just stopping off to gather things and that we should only build small camp, palisades ect.

I personally currently find it really difficult to roleplay, usually I press 'tab' every time I log on, finding lots of slots occupied with the presence of players. I always look around for roleplay, however, seeing that the distance inbetween each civillization is so far apart it's really hard to find good roleplay.

I liked alot of features back in Aegis, although it was somewhat beta. I enjoyed how Malinor was a few steps away from Krughai (I think that's how you spell it), although admittedly it was a little close.

This is my opinion and if anyone disagrees. I would like to see you reasons for disapproval.

The only problems I have with the current map is that

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.

There was the battle between that giant slime and the three drakes.

Reasons why moving is necessary:

1: We were told from the beginning we would be island hopping

2: We were not suppose to stay on this map

3: The island is ugly and horrible. People need to stop ignoring the mobs.

4: We need designated areas for races

5: It wouldn't take time from 3.0

I thought it would be really cool if the races didn't split. If somehow we could get all the races to live in a massive city or camp or what not I think it would be a much better experience than always having to split up the races.

More ores and get rid of the "Global No Dig"

So uh, why can't we just generate a map, take out the prohibiting mods and call it 3.0?

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.

How is this relevant to 'no cities/manors'? Nothing is wrong with new settlements, we just need to make those settlements, rather than a cobblestone boxes, manors cities or spaceships. Primitivity is the key here.

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.

Rome wasn't built in one day, and doubtfully in a couple of months either. Simple shacks are all okay, yet as I've stated, manors just won't do. Besides that, it would not be beneficial IC since we're moving anyway, it's simply a waste of resources. I'm not saying all houses and the likes are bad, yet we should limit ourselves to wooden shacks and palisades, and stay there.

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

This is in fact OOC, which must be solved OOCly. It's a matter of realism, not your character's personal feeling about it.

The things, they're ALL complicated!

Play Minecraft, will build. There's no stopping it.

Mobs aren't overrunning the towns and settlements anymore. They aren't any reason to cower when you have walls protecting you.

Walls come naturally when facing down legions of hostile fauna. When you have built spankin' nice walls, you look to your houses and think "Well, we have access to all these new materials, lets make those houses a tad sturdier."

And thus comes permanent buildings, farms, and infrastructure. It's just a logical progression.

If we were only here to gather resources, then we have already stayed far, far too long for that to make sense. I am fine with staying on this island.

wait, i have to know.. what happened to 2.5 now..? well? why isn't the server up? i don't know :o or is there a post somewhere? tell me!

In my opinion, the problem with the current map lies with the reasons that we arrived here. The whole reason that we left Asulon in the first place was to find a home from following the villagers. The new home is 3.0 but RPly we are treating it as 2.5. What 2.5 should have been structured as would have been a temporary stop in our pursuit of the villagers

First of all, we need to think of an RP reason as to why we are leaving our new found home. Maybe it could be that we have spotted the villagers again so we are restarting pursuit. Whatever the reason, we need to get everyone back to the ships in a way that would make sense RPly

As we are suppose to be island hopping in all these temp maps, I think our RP should be focused on the ships. I was thinking that every week or so until 3.0, we would have a new map. The similarity between the multiple maps would be that we are focused around our ships. Each one of the maps should be us stopping at the islands for some sort of resource. There would be a power grab between the races for control of that resource. One all of the resource is captured or depleted, we set sail again and we move on to the next map. This would go on until we finally reach 3.0

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. We haven't reached the villagers yet and the island we're on now is just a stop on the way to our new home. It's too small of an island for the Four Races to live together on it for any extended period of time. Resources are also scarce. RPly, it just isn't suited for permanent residence.

People have built large cities and estates in 2.5, even if they weren't really supposed to. It's minecraft, however, and building is something players will always do.
