Landmarks

Postby thingnumber2 » Fri Jul 29, 2005 6:22 pm

I suggest landmarks be moved from the Objects page to the Location page or the Buildings and Vehicles page, so they will be more noticeable...

I agree. Buildings page will be better.

My vote is for "location"
...it just makes more sense.

Buildings would be better than Objects, but Locations is a good idea, it would definitely make them seem a lot more important. Nothing else that characters make gets to show up there.

What do landmarks look like, anyway? For some reason I always picture the stone ones as obelisks with words carved into them. (If I ever make a char with the right mindset I am so going to build one and try to convince everyone else to worship it. Cantr needs more fruity religions.)

Objects would be better than Buildings, because landmarks are objects but not buildings. But Location is the best, because someone can make visible for newbies message like "do not hunt" or similar.

The problem with putting them on the Objects page is they tend to get lost in all the clutter. Realistically, a giant landmark would be a lot more noticeable than a bunch of notes scattered on the ground. And while you can't go inside them or anything, they're probably closer to buildings than anything else.

However, in some towns, they could get lost on the buildings page too. (Ever been to Siom?)

They are signs, really, just as are road signs. I think the locations page is the best spot for them. That page is a fairly standard size, and they would be noticeable........logically so, when someone's looking at what the town has to offer.

Although in some cases they might be used as memorials.

Also there could be an option for pointing at landmark.

They will decay if no repaired, and there is no option to repair them yet.
