Multiplanar cities

Perhaps extend the cities through their planes? But getting smaller as they go?
So Magnagora could, on Earth, build a building or two, a little street, one or two guard towers. On Nil, two or three towers of some description, like a little outpost. On the Astral plane, just a straight tower. Celest could have the same, just with water and Celestia, and Serenwilde could.. do something. Meh, involving Faethorn? Its an interesting idea, if a little strange. So the cities would look like a plant growing through the planes.

Edit: Meh, Astral, not Cosmic.

That could be a good idea to increase pvp on the planes.

Yep. happy.gif

It's an interesting idea. I'm not sure normal citizens could survive on the outer planes, so it would be more like military outposts than actually part of the city, right?

Give everyone a way to ascend through the planes other than another organization nexus though (like the Ravenwood isn't associated with any), and I wouldn't have too many objections.

Very interesting.

Excellent. Maybe this could give Warriors a way to travel the planes without begging for rides.
Shiri2005-02-13 22:35:32
I still think they should just scrap the Gate power and have everyone from a Nexus be able to skip directly up. (Or have the Nexus power, eheheh.)

maybe have the outposts like villages on the planes. They're always claimed by the parent city however - But can be disabled by raids, and make stuff stop working, etc.

Like one is disabled, suddenly only guardians can use the nexus and need to give lifts to people, etc

well, something definitely SHOULD be done...
The divine always say how they want PK to happen mostly off prime plane, well, tell you the truth, there's little to no point in any PK going on other than on prime plane, unless people start to massively raid Nil and Celestia for the fun of it. There's just no point. On prime plane, you have cities, villages, territories, resources, whatnot bla bla. Most importantly mayhaps, prime plane has 99% of all people. There just IS nobody on the other planes that'd make for any significant PvP combat. But I guess I'm not the only one to tell you that *smirk*

More on-topic though, I think it'd be neat to have the cities expand a little into their associated planes. Doesn't have to be much. If nothing else then for the sake of it making -sense- for a city to at least have a small guard post in that purdy plane they're supposed to hold so dear and precious and defend with their lives... Or generally make cities more interesting. I'm sure we could come up with some things that'd make cities really useful and not just a place where all the shops, banks and idlers are.

Oh for goodness sake, Warriors aren't limited in planar travel. This is such a false rumour. They just have to walk a few more steps. dry.gif

They are if, like Gruhk, Nementh manages to nail him like 6 times in a row on the Ether before he can actually get to Earth.

Just by way of example.
Elryn2005-02-14 01:16:53
Well if that is the argument, -every- Seren is limited to Ethereal, since the only way we can go up is through another organization's defences.
Shiri2005-02-14 01:21:07
We are. tongue.gif

EDIT: No, wait, we have Elemental too.
Elryn2005-02-14 02:25:10
Well, Elemental is still entering an enemy's domain. So it would just be Ethereal for us. And warriors think -they- are shortchanged. wink.gif

Nah, if you're quick you can still get from Ethereal Glomdoring to Earth.
Shiri2005-02-14 02:30:49
Not if Nementh's about, you can't. Ask Erion. tongue.gif

Love it. Certainly a way to get some conflict up to the higher planes. As someone said, everything really worth fighting for is on Prime. Until that fact changes, PvP will exist mainly on prime.

Allow the cities to expand a bit up around their nexus. Also, maybe some way for cities to gather resources from up there, too. Sort of like the villages tithe resources, but extra-planar.

Stop coming up with ideas to take PK off the prime! The admin has already laughed at such ideas and countered with psychobabble about how it won't help. Logic will not avail you here!
