When you sail in a ship to a different island you get a messge saying.. *after long journey youreach a new island.

why no have 1 full level of just ocean. making a trip more realistic. thus the kingdom battles will be more advanced. more sea to fight on.. more places to invade.. and so on.
it would take the player into a new type of world in a boat as the only place you could get there would be that or eiter zepplin.
the trip may be a little long but thats why we got dungeons don't we?
you can easlly and quickly folow the dungeon to the kingdoms or main easily.
a boat trip even easier but a little longer,
it be great in wartime seeing the action and knowing no obstructing islands in your path.
More sea battle space = more fun xD and i'm sure a lot of others would agree.

Reason: Because that's a lot of maps just filled with empty space, though it would probably allow more space for subkingdoms.

Five Kingdoms are already drawing the population of RPers thin enough, thank you, unless subkingdoms were actually further classifications under the Five.

And as for having MORE ocean, and for the trip to Kingdom islands to take MORE time...haven't the islands suffered enough? This would just push them further into non-use

True dat.

I'm going to have to disagree as well. Very very few people seem to know the dungeon routes, and very few people seem to care to learn them. If we do this, the number of people who go to the islands will go from 0 to 0er. I'd love for this idea to work, I just think it won't.

They still got the ferry,
Ferry would take longer unless made faster.
but the thing is. explore the dungeons and submit a map.
one already been done for main dungeon.

all i'm saying is there is a ocean but its not big.

we could easily find a way to get there faster with public transport.

or...
if not extend the journey from island to island. extend it outwards. ocean outside the circle of islands. make it a boat / zepplin only place where a few islands are and maybe quests there too. and a place where you can unstick back.

Personally I love the idea

But it is true Ferrys are quite slow, Perhaps Ferrys could "magicly" go threw the uncharted terretory without actually showing up, Or to add action 1. make ferry faster 2. make Ferry skinkable

But anywho Perhaps making Water terretory inbetween the Kingdom islands and other kingdom islands, but the way they are right now, next ot main? so that they can easily get to Main to Kingdom island but its harder to get to kingdom island 1 from kingdom island 2, with the extra water terretories it would leave more room for boat battles, events and Subkingdoms(mainly just squadrons of Pirates im sure, Which would in turn, increase RP, so that Pirates have somethin to work with, Pirates cant be Pirates without water eh?) ((although I do see some problems with that))

But over all I like the idea, just put a little more effort into it

OH and btw, I found this "magic" map just floatin around at sea, enjoy

Maybe bringing more things players would need inorder to do things to the island besides just materials for building their house would draw players to the islands. Like make it so maps are everywhere and there are more lords which spawn on differnt kingdom islands. That would give me enough initiative to ride my ass over to an island and dig up a staircase leading to a brutal.

I'd adore the whole sub-kingdoms thing, I could even see people starting new, entirely player built towns on desolate isles only reachable by sail. This'd open up a whole new opportunity for RP, a whole new face to sea battles. You could even blockade a sub-kingdom island. (If you've played Y!PP (a total RP pirates game, with puzzles) then you'll know how a blockade works)

I could see how this would work too. I'd adore it, maybe give each kingdom its own sub-kingdom island? I know a few people who want the Nighthawks back..
