Natural Disasters
 

How cool would it be if there were occassional natural disasters? Like pouring rain that causes the water level to rise... or a tornado that sucks people in and flings them... or an earthquake that makes people get knocked to their feet when they stand or walk!

Edit: Also it would keep house owners in line with their maintainance... normally when a tornado rolls over your house... ^^

That would rule, not only that, but they could damage the houses, and would actually make people think where to put their houses. *Imagines a big Tsunami* Sweet..... And it hurts people in battle mode, and peaceful.

What about a sandstorm?


and offtopic:

Will there ever be other islands? (Not kingdom) like... where one might have a huge desert, and the other a archapelago?

Dehitay fears natural disasters
How about rare occurances of something like a new kind of monster appearing in a random place
maybe one of those faeries or goblins that Ogma is good at slaying

Rare occurances would be the EM's job >:O

heh, that would be awesome, but we need normal weather too like rain ;O

It's a nice idea - I remember the earthquake on classic, well, years ago. I don't know whether it would be possible, but it certainly was a nice feature - maybe when a night/day-system and a weather-system is added when the software is fit for it. If there's rain, there can be floods, if there is snow, there can be avalanches, and if there's weather in general, there can be wind and storm. Also, if there is night, there could be monsters roaming the lands during the dark hours, and if there's day, there could be the occasional eclipse that might have some special effects... The list of possible additions is long... I personally love the idea of a werewolf-disease, if a moon cycle was added ;)

becoming a were-wolf would be awesome :P

Heh, i really like the idea, it'd be fun. And hurting houses would be good, too, except that it wouldn't be allowed to destroy houses, and someone would have to put a warning on the forums that there'd been a disaster. Otherwise the disaster could bring a house down to 5, and the guy might not check his house (because he was unaware of the disaster) and so it falls down :(

Also, what happened to sylvesters? We moved to a new island (supposedly @ whoever designed main ;) ), not a new planet. As far as i can figure out, there are still two suns orbitting the graalian world? o_O

Two suns? Why would that be? Apart from the fact that whatever stelar bodies there may be near the Archipelagos, they are on a rather geostationary orbit ;)

When one sun sets, the other rises
Constant day and constant hell for the vampire race

Meh, it's only a cool idea when you aren't doing anything and one occurs. If you are in the middle of something important, and a tornado runs across your level or an earthquake hits, it sucks. Granted you can have it affect the monsters so they are also affected, thus releving some of the problematic situations, but not all of them. Overall, it'd be fine if there is some kind of forewarning like a storm, tornadoes and floods don't appear out of nowhere. Earthquakes do, but they don't last very long. Point being, do it right if it is done at all.

See, the story on 2k1 was that when the bomy moon came, and crashed into the graalian earth, it brought its own sun with it or some crap like that. So now we have our own sun, and the bomy moon's sun orbiting earth, or some crap like that.

Eclipses would be cool, may when one would happen, there could be a event to make a new item? Or add a weird effect to a item? It would be cool if we could see the moon, and if there was more to the island. LIke maybe we could get a mini boat (like in windwaker) and go through waters, to other islands? Archipelagos would be fun.. and about kingdom islands (off topic) Shouldn't some be changed to something logical? If zormite was zorbis at one point, why not make their land, like a archipelago? With different lands on every little island, then pirates, live on a big ship, which can move to other places, forest....is a forest..... kj is its own archipelagoalso?

I love the natural disaster idea XD And what are the high seas without squals? What is bomboria with out the odd invasion of rabbits by the hundreds?


Edwin, I think you were there under King Larrien's reign of Dustari, when the horrible outbreak of fever swept like wildfire across from Tanarthia to Bomboria, rumor has it it started from someone casting flu or such on a mushroom and it spreading. Everyone playing GK just about was lower level, (Our king was lvl 5 and no one gave him any flack) and people avoided the towns as people were truly dieing of the illness.

Plague, Famine, Natural Distasters, good times :)

Maybe it's just me, but I do believe these official stories are, well, worth enhancing, very kindly speaking... As for 2 suns with the one setting while the other is rising, is it me or is that very astro-illogical?

Remind me to never let you organize a party for me ;)
