Really?

Did this whole area stem from Catarin's writings of the Paladin's histories? Because I still have no idea how she 'researched' that. Was it just out of her imagination, things she made up; did she have divine guidance, or did she just get chosen to write it all as a divine fed her the info?


I made it up. Then had it torn apart by Estarra for points that made no sense. Then wrote it again. Then had it torn apart again, etc. Until it was done. So it was imagination and divine guidance. It's nice to see some of the more interesting sections fleshed out in the area.

Actually, the area was in the middle of being developed when I gently(?) suggested merging the "Cult of the Scorpion" into the histories as a foreshadow. This also shows you how long it can take to produce an area! It is not unusual that an area is in development for a year or more, which is why we make funny strangling noises when we hear suggestions to just throw in a few areas or quests...

I'm curious.

How long did it take to finish from Catarin's initial proposal to going live?

What are the limiting factors for producing new areas? More coders for the quests? Builders? The back and forth hammering it out to make an exceptional area concept and backstory?

About how long do these take?

Just to clarify neither the cult of the scorpion or the area idea came from me. Though the history it was referenced in has been out for at least a RL year (probably a good deal longer) so that gives an idea of about how long we're talking.
