New Island Ideas
« Topic Start: August 10, 2011, 10:20:06 PM »
I was never here for any of the new islands, they were all created before I joined back in December of 2008. But I've always enjoyed fantasizing about an additional island. My two favorite ideas are 18+ island where we could swear and act like real medieval knights! I also relish the idea of a non-serious medieval atmosphere island.

So what are your ideas? They can be whatever you please, even a reincarnation of middle earth in which there are bands of nobles who create 'fellowships' and run around saving the world :P

If there is an island I'm allowed to swear on, I would join in a heartbeat.

A new island to colonize.
A commander and his small army arrives on a newly discovered continent. They also bring servants and slaves (adventurers). The map is invisible at the start, and only regions that have been taken over are visible. Since no humans have lived here before, the lands are inhabited by monsters (stationary groups).

Basically the Invasion, but the other way around :)

That would be fun.

Unfortunently, we've got too few players on the islands we do have. Not to mention the fact that making another island is not something you do single handedly in an afternoon ;)

Bring me at least 500 new players, and we can talk about new islands.

Fantasizing it is. Though you've got me thinking on a few recruiting schemes.

We don't need a new continent for that. Just a way to push back that blight and drive these abberations off of our lands!

Wait, we're not allowed to swear? Well, !@#$.

An island that has a really well thought out geography.

Weather patterns and climate conditions, strongholds and cities built in places that make sense and are well thought out. For instance, strongholds at strategic points, cities in areas where cities might naturally occur.

I don't know, stuff like that would be cool.

Good point. We're just greedy bastards, always wanting more features, more players, new worlds.
We are spoiled :)
...I wouldn't exactly mind, though;)

What the hell is Penny Arcade?

I don't think there's any rule anywhere that says you can't curse or do things with your character that might be considered 18+. I've had my character raped and have others pretty nasty things happen and no one piped up with the "Think of the children!" chant. Only once have I seen someone take something OOC by saying "You shouldn't do that, there are children playing". Even then it was just that one player reacting to someone cursing a lot.

Aren't pretty much all the other islands except Dwilight non-serious medieval atmosphere? I mean, Atamara had vikings wearing pink tutus and what not. There are religions with human sacrifice and pretty much anything you can imagine you can try to set up without getting slapped down by someone saying "you can't do that! It breaks the atmosphere!"

You'll be getting new features shortly. We are working on a really massive overhaul of the entire codebase. Once that is done, new features will once again be easy to add and I'll get back to designing some.

Rejoice and bring praise to Tom and the Dev Team!  ;D ;D
