View Full Version : New Villiages?/new Species?

After the creation of the 2 new races at Central (Felynes and Storm Giants), i noticed some commentary about the possibility of the creation whole new villages for each new race happening. Does anyone else have any comments about these new races?

I also have a suggestion for those who worried about having to search even more dragon caves.
To keep things simple, to keep there from being even more dragon caves to search (though my guess is that it wouldn't be that hard to even out), and to keep our AMAZING programmers from being overwhelmed and exhausted (3 cheers for LOTGD's programers everywhere!); I suggest that the villages should become home to 2 races. I think is that similar races should share a villiage (like in the city of Bree in the Lord of the Rings).
Sooo:
Felynes=Elves?
Storm Giants=Dwarves? (because they toss boulders. And dwarves dig through boulders. So...umm, yeah.)

Ummm. So. Does anyone have any comments pertaining to the new races and maybe the creation of new villages?

I like that these new races aren't just ones that new players can become. It adds something else to try and reach for (not that we really needed anything else to reach for, considering how much stuff there is that I haven't done yet). It's nice to have something new to look forewards to.

Another 3 cheers for all the mods, admins, programmers, and everyone else!

I believe Felynes already live in Romar. Your wish was granted before it was made.

Um. Yeah. I kind of took for granted the village information.

The new races did not add any new villages to the game.

[History Lesson]

The original four races created the original four villages.

We wondered if we could code a village without a race - a "ghost town" if you will - and that became Esoterra.

The next obvious challenge was a race without a village - we can't be forced to add real estate with every race - and the nomadic cat-people were born.

Yes, Felynes have been around for quite a while. We were waiting for a good time to activate them on central.

[/History Lesson]

The Felynes share the human village. Humans are (traditionally) a tolerant race, and the fields of Romar were ripe for a nomadic race.

The new Storm Giants share the dwarven village - they throw boulders and make the most sense there.

Will future races add new villages? Probably not, but you never know.

Right now there are no plans to add new races to the core anyway.

But sometimes modules like the Storm Giant come around that are so impressive we change our minds.

feylines live with humans, and the stormgiants live with dwaves, but yes, good guess, it's already done

Oooh, i appear to be psycic now.

And i matched the Felines with the elves because they seemed to be the most similar.

I would think Storm Giants would go with trolls. Both are mean, tall, grunt a lot, and are smelly.

Yeah, but...um. Yeah. Storm Giants would not be in the smelly category. I don't think. And their grunting is probably there to disguise that they are a superior species to us all.

No you've got the whole Storm Giant bit wrong. The dwarfs live under the montain and us Storm Giant types live on top of it chukin rocks of the top off the mountain. Give the dwarfs headaches it does. :)

I have an idea for the village assigning, felynes are nomadic and can live anywhere, so their home city is randomly assigned and storm giants maybe not, but since it's a race only for donators maybe they can choose your home village after a DK

Since training is linked to your home city, randomly assigning that for felynes is a bit of a burden, at least for low levels.

what if it was randomly assigned PER dk. You just have to take note of where you woke up after your dk...

so is it a good idea?

so is it a good idea?

As in "hey, someone should make a race that does it, that'd be neat"? I guess.

As in "change the Felynes"? No, they're staying as is.

So, maybe the dwarves and the Storm Giants should have a war? :wink: :wink:
