World Map

As shown in the short video, we adopted the same way of moving throught the server world that some games have (NWN2 main campaign, Pathfinder games etc) allowing people to move from one place to another rather swiftly.

The reason of that is because not only we want to make wide areas and graphically more appealing than the vanilla NWN but also because we plan on the long run to allow people to make their own static areas on the server and they will be allowed to have a pin on the map on the spot of their choosing. Since we do not know the size of the maps they will upload and/or how many people will do this, we opted for a solution that would allow the server to not implode under the heavy weight of too many maps from the start

While in the video it appears like there are only 2 main areas on the server, in reality there are already 2 major maps that players can navigate and plan to make their pin upon and more are coming into the future. For those wondering why in the video are shown so few, with the character i have currently selected i am level 1 with few knowledges of the game world and thus i can see only the basic areas. To reach the others, players will either have to play the main plot of the server or buy the lorebooks of the locations(from npcs or players. Check the New Lore System topic in the index)

Another reason of why we have chosen this, is because we have much more control on the areas we can generate/create on the spot and how/where they will appear on the world map. As of now, only the main "plot" map is uploaded but in the future (if things goes well and the community is triving) we plan to make more places like this mechanic, like Ardeep Forest for example given the great number of locations it posses
