One of my Greatest Hopes .. in a persistant world is randomized spawns. Where running into a goblin at level 40 is still a surprise, dynamic, and unexpected.
It completely changes our mindset on one of the most simple of fronts. It changes player activity profoundly. Sure, you need 'regions' that dictate ranges to an extent. But I sincerely wish that now and then I'd run into a dragon walking across the spirit dunes, or lurking in the trees of Dapplemare.
It changes things profoundly when you look at the upward ripple towards mindset. |
