IDEAS FOR RYZOM

#1 [en] 

A lot of what we do on Atys feels like we're preparing for something (leveling, improving equipment, developing skills, etc) . And what are we preparing for? Dealing with the Kitin threat!

Fighting the Kitins is a war we'll never win, because they re-spawn. How about we have an event where, if we all pull together, we can actually win?

Temporarily turn off re-spawn for kitins, show a total living kitin count, and maybe a timer. Every kitin kill will count. All homins will have a crucial part to play in finding and eliminating the kitins in your area. We'll all work together to deal with the kitin threat for good! We can call it the First Great Kitin War.

There will be traitors, no doubt, who will defend Kitins in PvP areas. There will be those who love their mats more than Atys, who will dig whilst others die. It might be ugly, it might be epic, and it will mostly definitely be War!

Kitin re-spawn would get turned back on after the war. The event could run regularly, and we can try and eradicate the menace faster.

Has this been tried before? Is it technically feasible?

As a matter of fact it was done recently in the Cleansing of the Kitin Mounds, only without the countdown.

It'd be one helluva way to end a chapter, that much is certain.

As Bitty remarked, the kitin threat was recently used.

What I'd like to see is some seemingly innocuous fact-of-life developing in a subplot. Maybe have a massive carnivore attack on Cities of Intuition, currently the herds of mektoub and the flocks of izam are living almost unthreatened. Atys is a balanced ecosystem, and with such an abundance of resources surely some ragus and torbak would be interested?

Slowly there would come some bosses too, and after a while running unafraid in the cities to get some tasty homin flesh. If the guards are not fast or strong enough, homins would need to unite in order to push back the threat from their doorstep. All culminating with a massive attack led by Fylish itself, KoD is not so far from Zora after all.

edit: Having a Kitin war would have repercussions in the future too. Last time someone attacked them, they retaliated with incredible force. I wouldn't think us uniting to push them out of our lands should/could/would remain without consequence for long.
