Suggestions for new Animals

[Thomas Pickert]

Let me put it like this: Even staff members sometimes experience effects of sleep deprivation and other potentially hazardous states.

But if I am not mistaken, there have already been characters, who warily kept an eye on the sky...

Many a night I have stared at the rabbit entry. They are the most populous creature last time I looked.

Rabbits with pointy teeth.... Make more agressive than anything else....

No Bad Meh. No Rabbits with pointy teeth. Bad Meh.

[Psycho Pixie]

more rabbits! lots more rabbits, there should be as many rabbits as buffalo around here!!!! easier to kill too might i add?

In every ship there is still a button for looking at animals is there any way to create a couple of locations that only exist for sea creatures and then have them able to travel to and from every sea going vessel.

The presences of a sea creature would allow for a project to get such creature.
and/or
attack such creature.


project netting tuna 800-1

you see a man in his thirties hurt a whale with a harpoon.

maybe the map can be partitioned into a grid, each square acting as a location for animals. When you're in a ship you can see and attack all the animals in the same square as you. the squares could be fairly large to save server space/time keeping track of all those locations. of course the squares wouldn't be visable to the players and the animal movement between squares would not show up on any events list. just an idea for how sea creatures could be implemented.
another idea that would be even easier on the server would be having a similar grid (except maybe with even larger squares) and each grid square would have harvestable resources like land locations, except it would be things like tuna and whale and junk like that. this would also make fishing require different tools than hunting. i mean who ever heard of catching tuna with a sabre? (edit: this one is similar to glasswalker's)

[berserk9779]

this is a good one.
i agree that you should be able to fish in some way when at see. make it REALLY random though.

Some special resourses could be gathered from fish too. -Did you know that before glass paper (or sand paper, whatever is the name in english) invention, shark skin was used for that poupose?-

[Sho]

The word is sandpaper. I also seem to recall that some people used shark skin to make thigh pads used for climbing trees without using hands. Amazing stuff, shark skin.

[Spectrus_Wolfus]

it's being used on handles to give a non slip effect aswell so long as you have shark skin gloves and the scale pattern run's in opposite direction's. it kind of locks in like velco but without the annoying sound. and i beleive the japanese on there whaling boat's used shark skin for sand paper when doing the final few layaer's of lacker(sp?) on them to make them as smooth as possible

[InsaneIrony]

Hmm... I'm not sure if this has been suggested before, but oysters? It would give shells and every so often a few grams of pearl? Pearl necklaces would look cool.

JACKALOPE! DUCK BILLED PLATYPUS! EL CHUPACABRA! Maybe even like a moose or something, even though there's no such thing as a moose in real life.

[Bran-Muffin]

What are you talking about? no such thing as a moose? >.> um ok....

[kroner]

i saw a wild moose in real life once.... yay moose! *waves moose flag*

[Mitch]

I live in Maine. Our state animal is the moose. I once saw a herd...but discounted it as swamp gas...or a weather ballon.

I have seen wild elks several times. Does that count'?

[thingnumber2]

I've seen Mini-moose...
