! For those of you who havn't read my Other blogs, this *May* seem a bit less information than than needed to fully understand what I'm talking about !
Ugh; Got some kind of Horrible Flu of somekind; seems to spread Via Air, so unfortunatly Everyone around me has it. Anyhow; Back to the subject at hand.
Now then, The world I want to create is Based on my own Writings of a world I call 'DC Universe' (NOT to be confused with DC Comics). The name came from a long time back when I first came across the idea about 3-4 years ago. The world allows you to Travel Dimensions after a 'Break' in the Current universe. To put it simply without going into a large Back-lore post, Picture Satan and God playing pool with The universe: They broke it into seperate parts, all of which have unique traits, such as the color's and numbers on pool balls. (I know this Analagy doesn't function well, considuring there are more than thirteen balls on a pool table, but you get the general Idea)
The first of which would, of course, be the very starting content of the Game. Later on, dimensions would be added for extra content to vastly increase the worlds choices. Now, This worlds 'Hell' isn't triditional; Think New york... On fire. Now, Lets say after the players achieve a certain level of the worlds disctuction of Magic and Fantastical creatures, it jumps to modern time. Guns, Gangs and Modern warfare are everywhere. Now, what happens to characters after the Lapse of Time? What if people want to play in that worlds current time? Multiple servers, all connected to mabye Three or Four Hells, and Making characters Transferrible Via the Portal system between dimensions.
Example: Lets say your character's world has a time Lapse. You have the choice of A( Starting a new character or playing an Existing character on the Same realm, so everyone else on your server can have an easy time finding you, or Visa-versa, or B( You can transfer that character to another realm at, lets say, the start of the time your character belongs to. So, you can work on a single character, but are encurouged to move forward to the next time.
Now a 'Re-break' would be the server Resetting, and everyone go's back to the Start of it after a Clash of the Thirteen realms, where Every realm has a Grand Battle royal. And so, in the end, you have Events on spicific In-game Achievments that the players have worked for, a month of work finally rewarded in Completion of that Time period.
How many Time periods, you ask? Well, I'm counting on about, oh, 4 for the first of the Thirteen. Classes, variants, races, Combat, skills, EVERYTHING will change as you change to another Dimension. And what happens when that Blacksmith from The first realm reaches a Space age realm? He learns skills from that realm, of course. Crafting would be so huge, nobody would ever master it, but Everyone would have it, because you would have the choice to start out with one, but are able to learn anyone you want, and however many you want.
Now, Server stability issues would cause game client crashes quite often with as many transfers as there would be, so a way to kind of keep the flow of characters from going completly out of control would be needed. I was thinking that the only time you can transfer a character is after a Time lapse or a Re-break, in which the whole things begins anew from the start of time. This would still put major stress on the servers, seeing as how a cross-realm Instance like the city of Hell would be.
Now for a bit more discription on things; Why is Hell a New York? With added Flames of course? Well, When the Dimensions split, Satan had a bit more paperwork on his hands, seeing as how he traffics the Dead. Now, of course, only one earth was no problem, but he, being not-so all powerful like God, can only do so much; With Thirteen Universes, sometimes with Entire Galaxy's of people in them, he has a much more stressful job than before. Now this bit of lore also could explain why People are in Hell and Not dead in the first place; They are there to keep the Peace, hired by the Hells or Heavens. Now, more Character options open up; The players could choose sides between heaven and hell, People could steal objects that don't belong in one Dimension, kill people trying to throw off the time line, enforce laws that the dimensions abide by, etc.
... And thats all I have for Now.
