questions about E6

Problem with an Online Plunge system is that the Plunge was complimented by generic combat (to include notch items)

I'd say if you wanted to make the Plunge online, you would have to include nearly every aspect of the Way's gameplay (Not complaining, however. That would rule)

And of course, make the Way very very large but linear.

Well, thats what I was thinking about. I am really not much of a plunge fan, but The Way Online would just own. I would play in the enforced RP servers for hundreads of hours and mabye get my charicter into one of the games

P.S. Auras are fun.

I totally rock. I don't even look that one up anymore.

Anyway, it's funny, one of the very first things I posted about was an online plunge game, and right away about three people said "Yeah, we've talked about that many times already."

They wouldn't have to include every aspect of the Way. (I agree though. That would be like God visited Earth and gave me access to heaven while I was still alive)
People would start off with crappy stats and the p;lunges would give more CTP and extra notches than usual. Dwonside: Boring after a while

If you made the Way dynamic and ever changing (constantly adding new maps...and deleting olds ones), it would keep the game very interesting. Of course, that would be unbeleivably hard.

Plays who lag behind get teleported further along the Way...

>_> And of course, you may travel on the lower way (if you can survive it)

No, I think I'd have a lot of fun with it

[Impossible]

Doing that would be insane... I don't think you can constantly have maps being made and constantly delete maps, you'd need a huge team of developers to put in that much work. Especially if it were less linear (more areas and forking paths). It's a nice dream, though... Although we can see that the Way's movement isn't all THAT fast anyway, it would still be difficult to make and difficult to implement - Lun alone can't create a MMORPG..

[Shindy]

Indeed. Lun alone can't create a MMORPG, but people here can assist him.
But if Lun is to call off this thing it would be just Episode 6 until Episode 7 comes out, and loop. If you haven't noticed that online games last so much longer than single player games, like Diablo 2 and Soul Calibur 2. (yeah I spelled this 1 wrong shut up)

to the maps deleting/creating thing, I personally don't believe the mists exist, but we'll just have to watch and wait. Other than that, sections of the way could be created procedurally ( as in not by mappers but by math going on in the program - don't give me that look, it's quite possible, very likely already demonstrated).

I think, really, that it would be retarded to release The Way Online before the series is finished. However, due to the longness of making games (even pros take 1 1/2 to 4 years with this genra), if this is going to happen at all we're gonna have to start thinking, mabye even working on it now. And yes, Lun cannot do it himself. That is why we have to help. In fact, I'm not even sure he was serious about a The Way Online, but if we are, mabye it could happen. What I ment by that is that Lun would probably like it to happen, but dosn't believe it could happen. So, it's really up to us wether it could happen or not. Unil Lun expresses his opinion on this whole thing, read programming and graphics tutorials, and wait. Seriously guys, wether or not there ever is a Way Online depends entirely on how many of us help and how much we help with it. There my writing teacher, if that is'nt a call to action then I don't know what is!

[Shindy]

does anyone have the DATE of when Ep6 comes out?

[Dr. Casey]

does anyone have the DATE of when Ep6 comes out?

No, nobody does.

[Flibbo]

it depends on beta testing and how long lun needs to correct all the mistakes and stuff like that
it'll be soon enough, don't worry

[Sephiroth555]

Soon? It will be another 3 months.

[Sage Of The Wise]

3 months isn't all that long. Its better then haviong to wait another year.

I was thinking without the adding of new maps...Yeah. If Lun and a team of others could keep up with that....
Travel the Pits? That's where I'd like to spend most of my time! Must...pledge..allegiance...to...Lord Below...j/k

And 3 months is pretty soon. And I can tell you...It'll be worth the wait.
