Npcs retirees over age

We will file suggestions here that did not make the cut. Don't expect detailed responses, but the most common reasons are:

  • implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain
  • the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
  • the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
    Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to fix everything.

Npcs retirees over age

Post by The Man of the Moon »

As Arelith is 127 years old...

Could those npcs of shorted living races being gradually replaced?
Aka: npc humans who were in the server since it started.

I know about "magics", but may be more immersive, logic and also increasing feeling of history if those who should be already dead by extreme age were... retired along the time.

At any speed rate... one npc per month? Great!

About some special things, as the Ferries, may make sense if Laurick was replaced by "Laurick's pilot" or something like that... Laurick became the owner of his service company, so now the pilot of the ferry is an npc employe by him or by his lineage.

PD. How epic could be as player be allowed to say... I came to Arelith during the youth days when Lauricks piloted the Ferry to Cordor...

I was here when Westin got assigned to the Arcane Tower depot...

In the old times of sargeant Reginali I joined the Cordor Guard...

EDITED POSTDATA: Artos, I don't want you to work on anything. I enjoy and love Arelith as it is and ever if Arelith didn't got anything else new, I may be playing here for ages... (onr untill something better appeared in the horizon, as a Second Arelith with improved toolset :lol: )

As this is a suggestion pool, I make my suggestions. You are the one, within your Staff fellows, to decide if you agree/like anything of all that and if deserve to be done.

How I may dare?

Cheers!

Dood, how much stuff do you want me to do here? ;)

It does happen gradually, and I sometimes age the NPCs here and there as I go through the mod, but its an undertaking to remake all of the NPCs, with similar but not too different dialogue as their predecessors.

Reginali replaced Galverson who replaced some other guy I think already. There's a bunch that are holdouts, but I also like the speculation that those key people are somehow special to the island.
