The Ghost of Christmas Future, II

[SilverBull]

I look very much forward to seeing how the world will develop when you'll have to make do with the people you meet in-game. Especially at the beginning of the world.

One thing I know, loftar, is that you can expect a huge drop of Japanese and Korean player numbers in this game by this

not to bash on em but id expect the russian players to still being hyper aggressive reguardless what u do to spawning

By the by. Teleportation only along formal roads. No hearth secrets. Random wilderness spawns only.

Looks like i get to spend the first couple of hours of playtime in world 8 (or w/e) walking to my friends

[WaitingforHaven2]

I think it's a good idea to remove the hearth secret. I walked to people I knew in Salem already and it actually took pretty long but it's just a one-time investment after all. My only regret would be that I miss out on some of that sweet makeshift camp feeling that I got in Salem in the first days due to arriving late to the party in the new Haven. Really looked like a shabby trapper encampment with lots of promise from the unexplored surrounding lands.
But anyway, I don't think it will stop people who love the game from playing with their friends. Some grave alt problems would be patched up in return. On the other hand I don't believe that it will make people from an area bond together so much more. That would require a stronger incentive.

Also great idea with the road teleportation. I wonder how this will work out.

Wait a minute. I see what they're doing.

They're going to separate us and make us
socialize with eachother while we're still
weak and can't kill eachother. So naturally
we start becoming friends and don't want
to kill eachother later on.

THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE ME TALK TO
THE PEOPLE I WILL ONE DAY KILL.

yes Nao - it's better to kill first, then ask at forum who it was and then have a laugh together

Also @Jorbtar.

Does this mean we will be getting the whole
"Marching" system you had once thought up?

I kind of like the idea of a "single-player MMO" but once a map is made, it'll just be an inconvenience.

Maybe if the environment is harsh enough, traversing great distances will be rough enough for one to have to develop one's character a lot before venturing out into the world.

I would like to see snowy mountains, and weather/seasons to that extent.

Hannibal's army crossing the alps comes to mind when I think of traversing harsh terrain.

Definitely an incentive to develop your character to be able to traverse a great snow capped mountain and reach a lush valley beyond it.

I like the idea of seasons but also have to stay warm during winter and staying cool during summer for the extra survival element just like don't starve where u cant stay to long out in the cold or u will freeze to death or get sick

Haha yeah, I was thinking of the Carson Pass as I wrote that, the Hannibal thing definitely makes more sense in this context.
