Re: [Once-content] Feld - maybe we need to rethink the map?

[Jon 'R. D. <re...@gm...>]

Its odd. I can just hit "reply" on dev list mails and it goes back to 
the dev list, but not so with Content list.  Odd. What ever.

Yea.  We are really planning on having a HUGE amount of content in this 
game.  For example FFXI has 4 main cities, and 3 small aditional cities 
(in the "common" areas, one you get into the more advanced and expantion 
pack thats a different story).  Thats about the same thing we are 
looking at, we're also looking to have T'brulcar be very very big (in 
terms of amount of stuff) - Which gets compared to the cities in EQ2 
(which had 13 zones each), in which there were only 2 cities.

So what do you think Thomi?  With a few tweaks to your basic designs - 
And a few additions to the story line - I think we could do this.  As I 
type this I guess using the term "Expansion Pack" isnt the best way of 
putting it, but it will have to do.  We basically just need a system 
that will allow us to concentrate on Feld - And "Finish" it to 
perfections.  Once that is done and released, we can move on to the next 
continent on the list.  The users will be happy because they have 
something to play, and we'll be happy because we're not releasing a beta 
(like SOE loves to do, and yes, we'll be releasing beta's - but I ment 
the final product wont be a beta and changing continusly).
