Adventure Time!~

[Matsume]

So when 2.0 rolls out, who wants an adventure? A journey? Something that is refreshing!

I know I do!
I want a world, that wows me every time I see it. Even if it's a simple tree I wanna be amazed by it's beauty!OVER TIME...

I want an adventure every time I set foot outside. Whether an npc needs help with something or a level 80 mob is chasing me(or 50 level 1 mice lol)!

I want a world that the players have to figure out and help one another. I want puzzles, random events(like that npc asking for help), I want a living breathing world!

With this living breathing world, I want season just like ours. Some mobs go away(hibernate or sleep for bed time) while others come out . Trees go dormant then bloom. I want a night that is NIGHT, where you can be surprised by anything~!

I also want a food chain, where animals eat each other(attack), or animals eat berries off of trees.

<can I have it?><do you want it?>

necrobump, thanks Rokien...

do you purposely make threads with a positive upbeat tone to them to counter act all your troll threads

SO are we going to get a more dynamic world in 2.0?

I also don't wanna read stuff on the loadstone, I want them in game. So, just make a newspaper in game, it's stupid how I get most lore and story on the loadstone than in the game.

Rokien, you're a monster and you've ruined 2.0 for me. Unless there is a full blown goat vs sheep battle royal I'm going to be disappointed.

Since the thread was already revived by Rokien's magic. I'll just add this:

Artificial Life Engine

Starr Long, the game's associate producer, explained in 1996:

Nearly everything in the world, from grass to goblins, has a purpose, and not just as cannon fodder either. The 'virtual ecology' affects nearly every aspect of the game world, from the very small to the very large. If the rabbit population suddenly drops (because some gung-ho adventurer was trying out his new mace) then wolves may have to find different food sources (e.g., deer). When the deer population drops as a result, the local dragon, unable to find the food he’s accustomed to, may head into a local village and attack. Since all of this happens automatically, it generates numerous adventure possibilities.

However, this feature never made it beyond the game's beta stage. As Richard Garriott explained:

We thought it was fantastic. We'd spent an enormous amount of time and effort on it. But what happened was all the players went in and just killed everything; so fast that the game couldn't spawn them fast enough to make the simulation even begin. And so, this thing that we'd spent all this time on, literally no-one ever noticed – ever – and we eventually just ripped it out of the game, you know, with some sadness.[11]

If it didn't work in UO, I wouldn't get my hopes up for XIV

Ultima Online was so head of its time. Considering it was basically the first western MMO.

I truly just eant the same experience i had with xiv when it came out. I was one of those rare people that were mostly content woth the game upon release and loved the beta and launch. I hope 2.0 doesnt ruin most of the things i love about xiv.

I trust the devs tho ^^

I don't think we'll have much to worry about I'm having a blast with the game right now, and I only just signed up! I'm not really a fan of the maps, but I know those will be fixed soon. I'm just focusing on the story and having a great time with my social Linkshell. The atmosphere is brilliant and we help eachother out whenever needed. It's cheerful, laid back, and we generally just have a good time. I know those moments will keep coming, and I can't wait to see what will happen once the 7th Umbral Era is over. Hopefully Ishgard, Sharlayan and Ala Mhigo are on the horizon!

Well, would be interesting to see the goat "eating" sheeps...even if the sheeps won't be able to sit for a while after that.
