Rivers

Recommended Posts

https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/103968-water-above-water-level/


there was an app, in the 90's called VistaPro.
It allowed us to render great landscapes, landscapes we could only dream of living within, of flying over, of moulding.
When i first played Wurm Unlimited with flyover powers. .. glorious.

Back then we dreamed of games like Wurm Online, E-Sports was a petition. nothing more.
To consider online games as a sport? how preposterous.
Judging by the average age group of wurmians, at least half of you should surely remember this time.

My suggestion;   Water above the table. 

I wouldn't have dared suggest this during the reign of Rolf.
If this game is to evolve, water above the table.. need be on the roadmap.
Personally i desire for native VR integration, a more powerful desire, is rivers.
I linked one suggestion thread, im sure there's more.

+1 it's definitely possible, just a matter of getting the dev team dedicated to working on it.

I'm pretty sure for past dev Q & A's it's been mentioned as a definate want from the staff.  I think it'll take massive overhaul just as cave dwellings did, but we got those in good time.  I feel some day we will have rivers and true lakes above the water table, only a matter of time.

 

Wurm in it's 10 years just keeps growing more and more :)

+1.

 

This would also allow aqueducts and maybe even water we can't drink safely. :)

we have to deny 3d caves.. too much work has been done, too much sacrifice.
I've been to Mags rest, good god that place reminded me of those wide open caverns in Everquest.
I was half expecting an Orc train to come piling toward me as i reached half way.

but rivers? A bitter person once told me that it was once a thought and there was much contention upon that thought, such contention that it moulded reactions toward other things.. from a dev, point of view.
That was long ago. 
We now have much more creative power, both within the playerbase and the dev base.
I felt titling this suggestion as i have, might earn it a few bumps, over time.
(title-ing?)

Maybe on existing servers, but I'd sure like to see the possibility on a new server someday. :) Throw in longer-term traps plus configurable switch/button/pressure-plate puzzle pieces/blocks, and we can all be Dungeon Keepers too!

+1 for rivers

Let's also add some new tameable creatures that live in or around rivers, such as ducks, otters and beavers. I'd love a champion duck :D

I am pretty sure it has at least been on the roadmap, that map noone talked about the last two years that is!
