Sleeping
« on: November 23, 2005, 09:22:00 pm »
I think it's bizarre how people can go weeks without sleeping on this game, I think sleeping should be nssesary, and the later it gets the lower Strngth gets unless they click a "sleep" button or tool, or a bed.

now I know this sounds boring, but rather than wait from 10pm-5am doing nothing, the sleep button/tools will send you to "dreamland" and chance of "nightmare land" depending on alignment (good go to a castle like place, neutral to a dungeon searching for tresure, evil to a hellish place in the bloodwars. In these places you can continue to adventure, without getting board, and if you get killed in a dream, your character just wakes up. That way people wont always be awake like some horror movie where people well... never sleep!

I've voiced several times that some things could always be better RP wise, but I think this kind of thing should really be left for the player to decide. Forcing a system like the one you suggest essentially gives everyone a bedtime, including the elves and all of the races who shy from the sun. And the Shadonites. And Xeenites. And...you get me.

The whole dream thing seems to assume that everyone has the same kind of dreams based on what a good/naughty boy they've been. I'm all for people thinking carefully before they announce that they hiked across three continents and took a boat around the world, all before breakfast, but forcing stuff like that on people with limited playtimes and who don't type at the speed of light (and thus have conversations that can take several in-game days), isn't going to help. My thoughts on that. (In case you thought I was giving someone else's, or something.)
