The ever-expanding community... can we handle it?

Llama · Post by **Llama** » Tue Apr 11, 2006 7:40 pm

This is a discussion:

You see, the community is increasing, lots of new people... Do yoiu think Illarion (¬ the server, we all know the server can't

) can handle it?

Is an MMORPG better when there are more poeple?

IMHO there aren't enough professions for everyone to have... (we'll have too much carpenters et cetera).

Opinions?

I think the server can handle it (isn't it going down because of a bug?).

Also, a bigger community is great, because events are more likely to be held, and easier to be held.

If every player was good at rp, and somehow the hardware could handle it, id love it for ilalrion to have lots of people on, maybe make trollsbane no longer ther only place peopel go, since people will always be around every town. id LOVE that

like it was said before, as long as they RP, the game will get better because you wont be walking around alone all the time from lack of people. however, if say, an immature group of people from tibia or worse runescape got together and decided to drop in on us and mess it up, then it would be horrible.

In most cases, consequences of something are both good and bad, and this is one of those many cases. Yes there are more people on, and people can be found easier, and maybe populate towns a little more. On the downside, many of us have seen the absolute chaos that goes on in bigger events, and it often leads to frustration. Also a lot of people tend to get ignored by current RPers, overall IG has become a lot less friendly for new people, long time players kind of close themselves off, and its harder for new characters to jump in. There is also less contact between people, usually a "greetings" and then move on. But, if more people do come, we shall see then.

If the community can handle jappys mom, it can handle more players.

Arameh · Post by **Arameh** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 1:32 am

Yeah, maybe the towns could get more populated, like greenbriar and thoses. But if everyone would stay on Trollsbane, i would hate that. Already when they are lets say 15 peoples in trollsbane, its laggy, we dont see the text cause everyone talks in the same time, and no one fucking go to varshikar or something when it happens (yes, frustration). Usually, when its too crowded, i just log out, and dosent play until it isnt, i dont know for other players though, but thats for me.

Poots · Post by **Poots** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 1:36 am

immature group: we kill you all!...or try. e-mails, computers, nothing ot do with Illarion!

Alatar(or a gm): sorry, I recieved an !gm, you are now banned for all of eternity.

problem solved. although if it got really crowded, we would need bigger citys, they're kinda small now, but it fits our community.

and yes, noobies are coming, but most never stay on. I sell tons of smithing tools, let them go into debt, and then I never see them online again.

I don't know a thing about how much the server can hold, we are gaing noobs but at a very very slow pace due ot most of them dropping out. we won't have to worry for a long time.

there could be 40 people on my screen and I don't get lagg at all, and instead of expecting others to elave, go yourself with some companions. hipocryte.

Azuros · Post by **Azuros** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 1:37 am

hm this could allow for people to be in their certain cities more than just Trollsbane where everyone is. but then again.....maybe not

Devrah Liioness · Post by **Devrah Liioness** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 1:38 am

Is there seriously a discussion about this? Of COURSE the more players, the better! The more players, the more dynamic the roleplay, and the more chance you'll actually see someone without crossing the map four times.

Arameh · Post by **Arameh** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 1:39 am

Yeah, populating other citys is good, overpopulation in Trollsbane is not.

Crothu Inkathurg · Post by **Crothu Inkathurg** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 1:39 am

Yeah but if they start acting like the runescape people then watch out. Illarion meets 8 year olds = Death

Arameh · Post by **Arameh** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 1:41 am

If i see tons of peoples in town talking like "my swd is betta than u armor, l337" Then im logging with Arameh and make a rampage

Turonga Mudwater · Post by **Turonga Mudwater** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 1:42 am

What it would do is allow for a bigger map. When you increase the map size the number of findable players exponetially decreases. I would go so far as to contend that our current map shold be played with more players.

And the Server is going down because it can't handle the Awe of Turonga, obviously.

Crothu Inkathurg · Post by **Crothu Inkathurg** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 1:49 am

Man i was thinking the other day that we should make more towns. You know that don't have to have citizens and have to pay taxes like Trollsbane.

Arameh · Post by **Arameh** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 1:50 am

Just look at the map crochu, they are plenty of towns for the amount of players.

Poots · Post by **Poots** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 1:52 am

more towns= more dea towns

no one go anywhere but troll'sbane, it will remain that way until we get more peeps. and if they did go there, we would be more spread out thus less rp!

Arameh · Post by **Arameh** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 1:54 am

Yeah, Varshikar is getting more populated recently, but please, residents of varshikar, when trollsbane is crowded, go to varshikar ><.

Crothu Inkathurg · Post by **Crothu Inkathurg** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 1:55 am

Yeah i understand that but there is some flaws i everything. In real medievial times there were many differant towns scattered around. But anyways how do you make towns?

Arameh · Post by **Arameh** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 1:56 am

Gms make them, there is supposed to be a building system on the project...but i would say in like 4 years

Crothu Inkathurg · Post by **Crothu Inkathurg** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 1:58 am

But i mean if i raised funds and tried to make a town and then tolf the gm to make it could he?

Poots · Post by **Poots** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 1:59 am

more like never, that list has never ever been updated.

everyone gets a house, even noobs who don't play=too many houses/small map= .......too many houses!

you ask him, he gives you the price, then he makes it. but there would probaly have to be tons of owners, there would have to be a need (biggest problem) and it would cost more than you alone could afford

Arameh · Post by **Arameh** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 2:07 am

Yeah, i think the prices right now by asking a GM are ridiculous, its like they tell us "dont buy a fucking house" in a more friendly way

No. Just take an army (7 or so people) and conquer a currently inactive town. Gm's might spawn some angry halfling fighters to defend the town but oh well can't see any reason they would want to waste their hard work to inactivity seeing as how its a pain to update the map currently.

ha that's great. Greenbriar shall be mine.....if any of my characters ever get some fighting skill...

Poots · Post by **Poots** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 3:48 am

if you want to take the town, do they really spawn fighters there? kinda neat if they do. I thought you just poseted on the rp section saying ti was yours, and killed anyone you saw there.

@Aremeh

that's pretty much what they're saying. they dont want everyone to have a house, it makes sense. the price is right

Arameh · Post by **Arameh** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 3:51 am

For god damn sake! Its Arameh, not Aremeh ><, oh well. But yeah, if the houses would be cheap the GMs would be making house models everydays.

Well, you usually need gm help, and theyll have a more real resistance, along with an official invasion time, so those who wish to can defend (or attack), and then if you win youll get keys and junk.

If you set up a quest for your guild/tribe I'm sure they would be more than happy to play along so their work isn't all for naught. Greenbriar will be dealt with "another way" if nothing happens.
