Rule-set Transitions
I think instead of having separate
RED and
GREEN worlds, we should instead apply the
RED and
Green rule-sets to individual server tiles/nodes.
I realise this is has been suggested by many others and by the developers themselves, but I thought id expand on the idea.
Concerns
People often don't like the concept of having both
Red and
Green tiles in one server because what stops players from
Red and
Green building on the border of
Red and
Green and crossing over to suit there needs and abusing the system. (Storing all there goods in
Green Tile Base on the border of the
Red Server.
The only difference between
Green and
Red worlds (aside from outpost restrictions) is the rule-sets. I think instead of just having
Red and
Green, their could be a gradual transition of server rule-sets as you move out from the centre of the world.
Rule set Levels
I have only listed a few of the possible rules that could differ above. You would also have a YES/NO for town claim teleportation and you could include a YES/NO for things like bark-boxing as well. You could have many rules that differ from 1-5.
Risk:Reward
Setting up on a
Red/
Orange Server is a risk. So, there should be a incentive for players to setup in
Red servers to offset this risk. You could do things like increased resource gain, decreased action times and making buildings require less resources to build (to offset the ease of destruction)
Interactions
Due to the vast distances between
RED and
GREEN, people from
RED servers would be unlikely to interact directly with
GREEN players and vice versa.
They would indirectly interact through trade. Players in
Yellow servers would interact mostly with players from
green and
orange server nodes, and players living in
orange servers will interact mostly with
Red and
Yellow servers.
Layout
I think its important for
Red servers to be in the middle, and the
Green worlds on the edge. Players that want to PvP should not have to travel great distances to wage there wars. Solo players that just want to relax, build a small claim and trade can just head out to the far corners of the world and enjoy there lif in relative peace.
What is everyone's thoughts on this suggestion?
