-greater city more guards..small citys not so many guards
-you need not marry real female -->also NPC MALE...NPC FEMALE

NOW THE IDEA:
_______________

Girl...woman are playing Computer games so rare!..
It need anything what this people love doing!....
girls/woman play must with toys-Babys!
This game is so great...why not this Feature-->seeing in no MMO
Girls/mans can marry in game with NPC Male /or NPC Female!...then with no Sex-Scene!..the Married Pair can answer Qeustion--->" would you have a Baby?"
answer YES or NO (click)..then after 9 Month(or shorter) (the girl is alittle fat) it Comes a NPC-Baby from a BIRD...;)
This NPC-Baby is like a taming PET..it must trained.And after 2-3 Month of leveling this npc is an guard of the city

I like the idea,The taming idea of the pet NPC was a new twist for me. I know back when you only had SOE and Blizzard as the big boys of MMO's. Both thought about this idea. But it failed to even make it's way into there games. But lets say Xsyon says he would love to do this, But how would it work. Some things are simple. You could make the NPC start off as a kid of 5 or so years old and grows up one year for ever season that goes by till it hits 16 yrs old. At this point it is the minimum age that we can star as. Before it hits the age of 16 it will need food and training. Training would have to be cut short of what we can do because you don't want NPC's being better than your players are. This could add a great time sink into the game.

But here are some stuff off the top of my head that I think needs to be thought about first.
How to limit the amount of NPC's that your players can make. One reason why so many of us are here is that we are sick of dealing with a NPC world. So there would have to be something that makes this hard to do. or takes a long time to do it. And also with some type of cap to how many.
What can you do with your NPC? Can they do jobs? How fast are they at do there job? Does the NPC get to work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year? Can you ask the NPC to do things? Like to go get fire wood, If so, If some one was to attack it. Can it fight back? Can the NPC die? So say it was never attacked, Does the NPC know where to go find fire wood? Does it look for short logs? If no short logs will it find a tree? How does it no when to stop clear cutting all the trees?

But thats just the tip of all the how and whys that would have to be looked at, But I do like the idea, I did a few post and blogs on this a year or so ago. So I would be down for it if they was to put the man hours in on it. Sorry and woman hours on it as well.

I hope this is a joke as well ...

[Yum]

lol... :silly:

[Whorlok]

And the Future of those Babys--->rich 18 Years old:
-with 18 Years Training to good/evil people they leave then the Mother/family and searching a Job as a Guard for the Clan-City!(military Job)
or as NPC Doctor in the Clancity
or as NPC Quest Giver
or as a NPC Seller for any Things with a shop with crafting things from player

[dezgard]

weird but! the idea does have some merit if done right could add more depth to the game

[Kinslayer]

This is funny as hell, but if it is serious, is ridiculous. I love the way the OP assumes the only thing girls are into is having babies, LMAO

[dezgard]

check out is tamagotchi idea lol

Exacly...and some people love to micro manage something like that, its something not needed overall..but people that want can get into it...its a plus to the game..something like this, they can add pets also and micro manage them like a tamagochi.

afaIk there is something like taming planned.
That could please some of those requirements ;)

[Jadzia]

Perhaps its only me, but as a female player and mother of 2 I can assure you that I wouldn't like to babysit NPC children in a game, lol.

[tredo]

Not really sure where this thread is going, or if it is really a suggestion. However, it sounds like a lot of effort in programming and design to be a novelty at best. Stick with taming / raising animals, its already in the works, it's a planned feature, and will work with the game in many ways. If the op thinks that players need something to sooth their parenting instincts in game, add a cat or something needy. Leave children out of it.

[dezgard]

well i guess he's right. a cat hmm now that sounds cool

[Tshaka82]

Or maybe a dog :D

But who knows, maybe you can tame a hyena or wolf or a deer?
Could maybe serve some purpose of a cat or dog if you tame them when they are a puppy.

Maybe if you kill a female of those, it could be a puppy inside when you skin it. Should be a very rare chance tho.

Psst taming animals is so retro.

Hmm I think I might be tameable...perhaps its worth a try :P At first you have to treat me with great gear, crafting supplies and so on...and then...who knows...its very important that you don't give up hope and don't stop treating me very well...then one day... B) (but I can't promise anything !!! )

[dezgard]

gold digger.....hehe joking

but what if players could have children?

how could we make that work child could provide a stat boost or something once grown up can go on his way exploring sometimes sending you interesting items from his/her adventures

After reading Jad's requirements this game seems to be more like real life than I thought... amazing.

Anywhooo...what were we talking about? The pro's and con's of burning bunnies, right? hehe

Pro: we get good food to kick ReV's butt! hehe

[KeithStone]

this is by far the worst post I've ever seen on a gaming forum.

[Whorlok]

All our Clanmember of RIFT,Fallen EARTH,EARTHRISE,and XSYON loved this idea with NPC Babys and then NPC Guards!..The second point of NPC children and with training then---> the guards of the Tribes and a little Live in the citys!
A Little IDEA:
______________
1.Order at the Totem NPC Woman
______________________________
Homesteads: can have 1 NPC Woman
Clans can order at the Totem 2 NPC Woman and TRIBES (20 Member) can order 3 NPC Woman
2.Then after ordering a NPC Woman the Clanleader or other Rank of player can order from this NBC Woman all 1 Month on NPC BABY/CHILDREN,This NPC BABY/CHILDREN is now running/playing randomly in the city and after 2 Month this NPC Children now is an NPC GUARD which we can give him order(Guard/Patrol/Agrresiv/passiv/Attack or defend)
3.NOW..the citys have Live and with relativ simple Programming we have for a Future PVP a Defending Guard

[tehreaver]

I don't think people need to think about this shit now. They need to fix lag and combat as their first priority.

edit:

NVM this guy is a moron irl.

http://www.russianbrides.com/ - did not know they had internet post-apoc to just order your women!

While I think you idea might be interesting remember that it would take about 1.5 real years for the baby to become about 18 years old. You can not just magically in my opinion have an baby age that much faster. Also the idea of just ordering a women just sound way to odd :P

[Whorlok]

okayEDIT: we have randomly with the time it spawns in the City NPC children with not order ONE WOMAN!..
this randomly playing children after 1-3 month (Or other timeline) they are transform to a NPC GUARD!

[Delvie]

Horrible idea, with the way folks like to grief each other I can imagine the nightmares. Didn't WOW have trouble with putting npc kids in game for some event and having them abused? I know it's just a game but some stuff really shouldn't be acted out ever in any format.

[Whorlok]

The Idea is for improved City Live!..I have started under "Tweak and Suggestions" a better Idea with "PVP Defence and City Live" ...;)

Don't necro old threads. And there is a separate forum section for suggestions.
