An alternative to world resets.

Post by keshan »

What about a world with natural disasters and building insurance?
It seems like an interesting way to prevent stagnation of a planet.
Just when it seems like every kind of building has been built a sudden meteor shower takes out the farming system.
Of course I suppose the whole idea still might not work because even if buildings are destroyed people retain skills. It's just an idea to ponder.

Well the insurance would help reduce that.
You could also have diffrent town with different levels of risk and cost of living.

however neat it would be to see happen.... this would never fly in this universe.
Decay already happens and im sure plenty of you would vote to take out...but it is a neccisary evil to fairly remove stagnet buildings. This would also be a HUGE turn off if it happened while you were not online. For not seeing it n just coming back to your stuff wrecked would suck.. even if you had "insurance". Some planets... the buildings are destrutable.. :twisted: ..in this event, maby you could play your game twords making weapons and ammo.. and wel be the natural disasater yourself :twisted: ..remember the end of zoric 1 and 2. poeple had turned to anarchy, if someone under sold them... just destroy there links :p it was great.

this also isnt exactly a new idea. BUT keep it up. refine the idea, and get back to us.
