Sundren's Roadmap

[Saulus]

That's fair. Can I ask what's in store in terms of maps? I noticed some old maps were being aesthetically reworked, so is that the current goal? Or are entirely new maps on the way?

We wanted to focus on having the best content for what's already in the module, to enforce the lore and story of the world. We have for all intents and purposes accomplished that according to our own standards.

Having said that, we are always several steps ahead in planning of what we are currently developing.

We always strive to have a wide breadth of enviroments to explore.

Yeah I was kind of wondering if there were going to be new maps, too. Like.... new grinding areas? Taverns and stuff? Or maybe road maps or other misc. areas?

Wait Kangleton is back? When did this happen?

Also, shameless off-topic ego boosting:

Actually a really good post, shame the topic was closed soon after, really =/

^ I believe this answers your question Gamling I can say with certainty there will be many new environments in the future. However, much of what exists has been in disarray and needing to be cleaned up, fixed, and enhanced before we can move on to other stuff. Viridale, for example, was a big part of that.

There's alot of faction-related reshuffling, cleaning up, and scripting happening. And like Saulus said, it's difficult to give an ETA on anything, especially since it doesn't all happen at once.

The way that Sundren seems to be set up with the max level cap and its slow-'ish' progession, it would take people a couple months of playing, (casual or not) to get high enough to even get to Schild let alone this new Forest.

It goes a lot quicker than you think, some go through 3 to 15 in a month *jealous glare*. Its never really bothered me that there is only 2 low level areas, after all some servers only have 1! Plus those levels are the most transient, with characters reaching level 5/6 fairly quickly, whereas once you're at high level you're gong to be there for a long time.

As for starting at level 1..for every one person that complains about starting at level 3, I guarantee there are 99 that would complain about starting at level 1 (I would be one of them)

The only suggestion I agree with is permadeath. Maybe with everyone beginning with 1 signus...so you can very occasionaly respawn from those unlucky "i got crit'ed 17 times" deaths.

p.s. The death system is already pretty awesome how it is, waaay better than most servers, as is the crafting system, xp system, and lots of stuff

thaelis, you probably shouldn't reply to posts that are from 2008 Exp systems and death systems have changed since then.
