Naming Certain Zone's

[marzuku]

Well i thought that we should have Names for certain zone's ingame, zones of particular interest in quest/grind, the other zone's will most likely be named by the players.

Well the idea came when creating a quest zone's "Where are you grinding solomon?" Solomon "Im questing at KoD(kingdom of decay)"

this is because if you where to ask a dude where he was grinding it would be alot easier to understand if it had a particular name.

The name would come up when you entered the zone white/red/yellow text depending on hostile forces or enemies, and it would only show up in towns,Ds,Castles.

an example of the text would be:

Entering Kingdom of Decay

Entering the town of Tertius

Also i recall there being a Free for all zone, which could be an example of a Red zone.

this idea kinda reminds of Diablo II, and i know that but what the heck.

This might not be a bad idea. I'll add it to the agenda for the next dev meeting.

Hmm I agree, this could be an interesting way of telling people where they are. Xen never really had good names for areas, but that was ok because its map was small and people could portal everywhere. Thanks for the suggestion marz

It was my idea!
lol

But I myself think it should /only\ pop that up when either you enter a town, a new server, or a questing place. Not every single zone in the game.. That leaves nothing to the imagination.. Let the players name the zones.

Nr.1 a new server? lets not cross servers that ruins the whole finding and killing an enemy if he can run off to a pve server.
nr.2 yeah it was kinda a co op by me and rabit so he gets some honor aswell.
nr.3 just some important zones, the rest will be let up to players to decide when exploring.

Please tell me that your kidding..

Theres almost always been a Full PVP server and a Semi PVP server.. At least within the past 6-7 years it's been there, which I absolutely Loved. (mainly cause there were always more then 2 mobs I could just grind off for like 6 hours straight and get some major XP)
And if you rush somebody to kill them and YOU still LET them get away, you failed as a PKer.
And if somebody has to run away to a non-pvp server for safety, they failed an Evidyon player.

I believe we need at LEAST 3 servers.

1. Server 1: Pure PVP
2. Server A: Semi PVP
3. Underground or Hell: No loosing Alignment / Pure PVP.. Although I always thought whilst in DS you shouldn't loose alignment, or at least you wouldn't loose as much..

Well, we won't have multiple servers until we have enough players to justify it. But fear not! the one server will be PvP under the rules of the alignment system--very PvP-friendly--and there will be a free-for-all zone (like your Underground) ungoverned by alignment.

DS shouldn't be governed anyways..

[Karl G.]

We were discussing a full-pvp no-limits zone at the last dev meeting, I'll add it to the list to discuss again at the next. I like the idea =)

[Rabit561]

Could you imagine if DS was fully ungoverned!

OMG it would be amazing..

Always being on your guard, ready for somebody to attack.. Almost shitting yourself wondering when/if somebody is going to show up, keeping your eyes peeled! Listening to everything around you.. Waiting, looking, tripping out.. And when somebody does show up (if their invis or not depends) and if they look stronger then you.. Chances are, YOU fucking CHEESE IT!

INTENSE! Best adrenaline rush ever!

what i meant i dont really fucking like mixxing servers so you can escape in such a manner, imagine it, one team of good players just farming each and every boss and getting super rich and getting awsome gear in 1 day on a boss that actually respawns once every week?

im not against having different servers though.

PvP
PvE

though a pvp player should have the option of transfering to a PvE server.
PvE players should not get this option though after lvl 15, cause being a wuzz should not pay off in the end for any1.

How are we mixing servers? They are 3 servers (In the xen case) 1. PVP 2. semi-PVP and 3. DS pvp. They aren't mixed, they are seperated..

Plus we don't even have a boss that would drop major epic drops to become rich.. And I'm sure we won't really have one anytime soon..

And boss's like that aren't usually on a timer, Usually EJ just simply spawned them randomly..
