Could be, but Im not really sure how SK's Vnums are run. Suffice to say it gets really messed up after a point. Each area has vnums 1-100 for example, then if you want to add more to it, it can be a nightmare.

[edit]
Vnums are what rooms items and NPCs in a mud are built on. for example 'vnum 1' can be tied to the room to your east, a longsword, and some npc. I'm no expert, but more such rooms in wilderness could mean less space to expand cities and other cool places.

What I'd like to see built are monuments. Huge, breath-taking, awe-inspiring monuments, world wonders so to speak.

Yup, that'd be sweet.

Vnums are used for mobile, room, and object. So for a typical area of 200 rooms, you'd normally reserve double the vnums you would think necessary, because you may have more objects than rooms, or more mobiles than objects and rooms (not usually, but who knows), and such. And yes, it does get very messy and building can be a tiring experience if you do it for years and years especially having to deal with OLC.

Of course, this is building using stock OLC and I very much doubt Dulrik still uses those editors in any shape or form, but that's how vnums work.

If any of this stuff has been stated....forgive me...but im going to state them anyways...and yes..some of them are kinda code things...
Binding/Gagging---Would be awesome RP to kidnap someone....

Ships---Naval warfare would be amazing....and we could put islands in and fight for them...

Carriages and Carts---pulled by horses you can stock stuff in them and what not...and ride them

Real Estate----It would be amazingly awesome if I could buy my own house...and write its own desc...and pay a fee or whatnot...like...one obsidian for one room, and a set amount of platinum for other accomodations (fountain/cabinets/etc.) so i could have a five room mansion!

Trade skills!--im not sure how many times ive seen that suggested..but its what I would like.

Player owned shops--Kind of ties into trade skills...

Possibly more to come....

I freakin' love this idea. But only age ticked characters should be able to own land. That way we don't have a bunch of abandoned houses when people delete and reroll every month.

This can be done... come visit Worts' house, stop by for tea one day. He luffs visitors, ask Naixin. :wink:

Those are all features that require new code, and cannot be built by builders. Building encompasses items, NPCs, rooms, and some scripting. Nice ideas, wrong thread.

I would like Wert to build the other side of Pyrathia as discussed in the googlemap thread.

I would like to see the number of sets of high level armor (ie only two copies of the cold flame set instead of the current number) decreased in order to put more unique sets in the game. So not more armor, just different armor. I think it would be cool not only to have everyone in different colors and styles, but could also give a reason for players to go to areas that aren't often explored.
