The container idea would be better for monsters I think, so you can try and exploit them for livers, skin etc - and their avaliability depending on how you killed them... Okay, I think that'd be better than making players containers, doesn't mean the idea is practical in general... vorpses aren't too bad, but they should only contain what the player would have dropped either way... it'll take time to search them, so your stuff might actually be guarded by monsters. And you wouldn't see from afar what you'e going to get...

Yeah, I like that idea.

Idea: instead of warping the player, the player remains there, but everything is dimmed out, and all the player sees is the terrain (or if inside, the structure and such). Get what I'm saying? That way, they don't hear or see anything. Maybe, when dead, you can't even send PMs, GMs, or MMs (toalls too if you've gone so far already). Whaddysay?

you said dark ninja dude, panthers are sometimes black.

Sounds good if there should be something as a dead-mode... I just don't see what use that'd be, you shouldn't be able to pick your droppings up, nor use your items - you'd be cut off graal in general, so why bother remaining dead?

Maybe a seperate part of the server, like, the heaven world.
See, if you die, you go to heaven, you can only communicate with other dead people, and you can train and stuff there, but you can't buy items cuz there are no stores, but there could be quests there, and if you die, you can leave anytime, but there should be a quest to leave, not something related to how powerful you are, because newbies die all the time >.>

Hm... train there? So you could die and come back a week later trice as good as you were? Hm... the idea isn't that bad, but I wouldn't want to remain death for too long anyway ;)

:: thinks of Dragonball Z ::

Heh ..

.. I think that's a good idea, a Heaven World ..

Yeah, as I was typing it, I ended up being reminded of DBZ...as long as you don't have to run along a 32494723904 mile long path to get to a midget planet where you have to train with a blue guy, monkey, and a bug, then I'm happy.
basically, you can just replace certain tiles with another type of tile (like clouds) and the shore with edge of clouds, the water could be purple or something, the rest would be the same, but stores would instead be homes with NPCs, and dungeons would be the same. No, exp gaining there wouldn't be faster, but it provides solitude. Truly, I don't think Stefan would do this (it'd take a while) but I like the idea, and there could be some Heaven only quests, related to angels and demons and such maybe, and you can take the items back with you on the main world, and think of all the RPing this could provide!
"Our king has fallen on the battlefield, what shall we do?"
*corrupt person in kingdom takes over kingdom, and rules, well, corruptly*
*King then returns from the grave 3 weeks later, muscles bulging, and a Sword of Heaven in hands, duels the usurper and his cohorts, slays them, and reclaims the throne*
Kingdom events in between ensue.

Ah .. this must be added! Brilliant!

:grin: I'm glad you like it, if I had some GFX person help me make the tiling for it, then I could probably create a heaven world, the levels would be like heaven_main.gmap, yeah..if anyone is gonna make these levels, it's gonna be me, cuz I'm certain no one else will.

My talents are not well known, but I am rather good when it comes to art. Just think of me as a last resort, though, I'd rather see you go to someone more experienced first ..

I got someone in mind, I remember he said a while back he likes to make tiling...
