New Continent? Permadeath/mandatory charcater slot?

[Ironsides]

Wouldn't it be neat if there was a new continent with permadeath (like in one of the Beluaterra invasions) and where every single player had to have one character? It could be a small continent that way every realm has an abundance of players (rather than the sparsely populated realms of some places) and everybody in the game would be playing together on one island.

Could be fun?

Get Tom 500 players and you will get your continent.

Pretty much.

Sound interesting! What should we name? Atamara, beluaterra, colony, dwilight, east continent, far east island.. Maybe Godetia?

[Ironsides]

How many players are in the game?

Yes, it would definitely have to start with a 'G' for continuity's sake  :P

500 players, and a nice big chunk of time. Continents aren't trivial to make. (Unless you just want a copy of an existing one.)

Yeah, I'll take a Dwilight, with a side of damaged Beluaterra.

... and a Diet Coke.

Bring back a war island, and pack 1200 characters on it!

[Tom]

Absolutely no new island will open up while all the existing ones are having issues of low player population.

500? That would bring us back to old levels. Get me 1000 new players and I'll make a new continent.

What if every player in the game had to play on the new island with one character? How many players would that be?

Cool! The war islands were nice and small, or, nice and cozy for everyone to mash on!

I believe that is not the point here. Creating and managing another island takes time and effort. Based on my perspective, we just don't have enough people to make another island worth the effort and time of Tom and the dev team.

I'd rather see EC expanded with the original war island added to the map off the coast based on the original SM map.  Add in sea travel and it'd certainly prove an interesting dynamic.

That would be really cool too! Let's do that!

Had to? But what if that new continent ends up like [insert continent you dislike the most here]? Does that mean I couldn't even pause? I'd probably just camp in the capital then.

I am talking PLAYERS, not characters.

And seriously, FORCING people to play somewhere? Have they handed out the crazy pills while I wasn't looking?
