  1. Another concern for maps is not having to explain to someone how to get to where you are because they haven't been on the server long enough to have explored into your area.  There is also the situation where when someone gives you coords, you have to ask which map they are using and wait for the link, because there is no one standard map to refer to.



  2.  

    Features for New and Old players alike which are currently planned or being worked on:

    • A Visual Interface for Crafting / Creating
    • In game Village Recruitment system
    • General World and Local Map
    • Revisiting and improvements on the Starter Areas for all the Islands
    • Tutorial Videos for core gameplay
    • More accessible Information / Help in-game
    • An optional Contextual Help System, giving you hints instead of popups.
    • The option of "Requesting a Quest" for new players to get basic tasks.
    • New zone based tutorial, with option to skip straight to the Portal and Game World/ Island selection.
    • Tons of new Icons for Items, Buffs and User Interface elements

     

     

    A visual interface for crafting and/or creating can be both good and bad.  It can make it easier for people to bot, for example.  The current method, while tedious, is much preferred for keeping people from overproducing crafted items for any reason, including grinding, which I personally disdain.  Others prefer mindless grinding to get that one skill up and that is fine by me.  Just please do not give grinders a tool to help them go gangbusters any more than you would give a player a means to bot.

     

    A general map would be nice to have access to in game, provided it were based on an up to date map dump, and also provided you were able to save your own waypoints or points of interest to it.  For example, say the map is basically an in-game window with a wallpaper for a backdrop instead of the standard black background.  You could use a slash command of some sort on your own to periodically mapdump to your client for an updated map.  This would only update the wallpaper in your general map window, but any points of interest you choose to label on your map would stay.  They would not be visible to anyone else.

     

    As far as a "minimap" or local map goes, if those are entirely personal, and something you can turn off, ie optional, then great!  I would, however, suggest that, even though I am unfamiliar with the Santa lamp reference, I think it would be a good idea to include a map making skill, and require there be a dye filled quill and at least one sheet of papyrus in your inventory, and that the map ONLY SHOW what you manage to physically get close enough to.  It should NOT take the form of a minimap, however.  You should be able to note personal points of interest.  Such local maps should only cover a very limited area.  If there were a slash command to start a new local map, then I would say a local map should cover ONLY the radius of what is considered local to the spot you were standing on when you activated your new map.  This way, if you absolutely had to have a map of every little teeny tiny detail, you would have to go get it.

     

    I do not recommend local mapping of any sort for the PvP servers.


  3. It would also be nice if we could have the option to pm you to request that a disbanded deed not be listed for whatever reason (such as a mandatory wait for cash to reestablish or what ever)  It could be bad if you had a deed drop and were waiting on the cash to refound it, only to have someone notice it on this shiny nice map and come mess it up


  4. The Co-Op is reopening.

    Those of you who have shopped this co-op before know we always give great prices, usually the best prices.
    As we are not in a central location, only a serious shopper will ever likely make a purchase, but such a shopper will be glad they investigated the prices.  Finally, I do not feel a need to make it easy for someone to undercut my attempts at paying for my required things.  Bearing all this in mind, I will not be posting prices.  If you care to know what they are, however, below is a map.

    I earnestly hope to make many of you VERY happy shoppers.


  5. It's nothing to brag about.

     

     

    Only one 90 title, and it's in digging, one of the most easymode skills there is.

     

     

    I hope every player wont flood forums with their 'brags' now :D

     

     

    Yeah, I believe that "for friends" we've got pastebin already.

     

    As I said, it was for my friends.  Further commentary was really not needed :ph34r:

  7. Levelling is awesome in spite of the many calls that it is not so. I do not get where some people feel this will hinder a newbie. This makes me terrified of a newbie as it is somewhat easier to use than traditional flatraising via flattening. I also do not see where levelling will have any economic impact on finding newbie diggers. Rather, I feel this will make it easier to find someone to come help you flatraise your deeds and what not. All in all +1


  8. The Co-Op is no longer located at Celebrity Seaway, and is temporarily out of business. We will reopen our doors once we have secured a new location. Rest assured we will have a much wider selection of merchandise at the same great low prices once we do reopen.


  9. I will likely lose my best 2 horses because of this bug. I see people are actually ON celebration but I find myself unable to become one of the people on celebration. I was on the completely opposite side of the map building a road, not a building. When will I be able to log in?
