Can the devs post their planned design document for fonline?
« on: January 28, 2010, 08:21:06 pm »

I'd like to know what the devs plans are for fonline since as it is it seems to be a haphazard addition of suggestions with no core direction. Are there plans or are you just making it up as you go along? (Sorry if I come of sounding rude, wasn't sure how to word this.)

We have milestones set and work with these. There will be no open documents for now, sorry. We just don't want to "ruin the fun" with endless discussions about something that isn't even in the game yet.

/Edit: One thing I forgot... Right now, we are pretty busy with fixing bugs, etc. That's why we didn't released any bigger update since some time. The additional content, that we have taken over from suggestion-board, was everything more or less easy to add and could be done beside our regular stuff.

I can understand that and I wouldn't do it different than you, but it's still a bit hard to think of suggestions basing on pvp or roleplaying or whatever, when there is no concrete direction set. I know that you once said, that you want the game to be , that pvp and RP should go hand in hand (which is good!) but currently it doesn't seem to RP friendly.  ;) What I wanted to say - it could be "wasted time" for some people who think of suggestion which will never be thought of in the end.

RP is in the hands of players. We can't force anyone to RP. Stuff like this will never work.

Yeah, I meant more to encourage players not just to shoot etc.
I think much stuff will change in future anyway, with more quests and factions that are actually worth to call "faction". ;)

Put a church out in the middle of nowhere. I'm sure some RPers would claim it.

There is one already. It's called Cathedral.

Take a direction, toss bunch of players into it, stir and see how your direction suddenly fails. Observation of how the game is played is important part of it too...things that look good on paper may just fail when played. Wasn't it the case few times?

I always considered it 'living' thing, that evolves, rather than bunch of 'here is my wishful thinking' docs. Many of them ended in bin already ;)

Of course it can work. All you need is dedicated Game Masters.
