Cities

[Gauss]

My question to is have you ever wondered why theres no cities or residential areas, where did these soldiers live? Where do the scientists sleep? No restuarants? Man settling on this planet would be terrible.

[Khronos]

i thought all the citizens and whatnot lived in the safety of each sanctuary. maybe not just a guess heh.

[Gauss]

So before the war started they had made santuaries ?

[TheGreatCarbini]

Are you the kind of guy who wonders why RPG towns only have 5 houses? 2 of which are an item shop and a weapons shop? PTH

[Khronos]

i dunno maybe the sanctuaries and bases were all terran but then each empire claimed one for itself.

like i said its just a guess but good point Gauss

God....some poeple just overthink hte game...the G-A-M-E, game

[diluted]

i liked their apartment system ideas but they canned it

[The President]

Yeah they removed the apartments, i kinda liked that idea but i guess it had its flaws. We had previously discussed cities on the board before and how there should be a city continent, i stand by that, though i know as of right now this is not so.

Well, we really don't know the actual size of the sanctuaries, or atleast I think we don't, but anyway humans have only been on Auraxis for what, 20 years? There shouldn't be so great a population as to need continental cities yet, and I don't think many people would give up there homes on the other side of the wormhole for an apartment on some backwater planet.

And while we are on the topic. How do all the item merchants in games like DAoC get their money to buy your items? They never move. I, personally think they have mafia connections. It is just a game, and as such, will probably not make sense quite often. But, hey, your there to frag someone, not to fraternize with the townsfolk. I do wish they would add cities for urban combat but from what I have heard it would slow down the game. Oh well.

[Duffman]

All i can say is EXPANSION.

[Terik]

Well they had pretty largass cities in WW2 OL, and it wasn't all that laggy once they implemented Direct X Support, but then again all the models had really low polygon counts so I guess with planetside's graphics the lag in an urban environment would be unbearable.

i concur.

[Darksim]

No Cities, theres just santuararies, they fight for control over auraxis so they can build cities, and own it, blah blah blah


and NO NPCS!

The people on Auraxis are all part of an expiditionary unit sent by the Terran Republic, or something to that effect. There are no civilians.
