Contests for Public Maps.

[Kaela]

Many people have been complaining about the shortage of maps, crowding of rooms, and I cannot agree more that the dimensions shouldn't of been taken away. But, I think that if everyone, not including staff because many of them already have a map they made on the game, would love to have the chance to have their maps public in Feral Heart. So, I think map contests would be a great way to both benefit the game, and make more space since everyone is crowding into 5 maps, with only one dimension.

This is a rough idea, though, ideas, comments, and criticism is very much appreciated.

That's a great idea Mikaela! And yes I agree with you, we don't need dimensions if we have lots of maps! In IT whenever I went to other maps they would always be empty, which is a shame. It was always mostly Default which was overcrowded, and people would switch dims instead of going to another map. It's a bit sad really, and I think it's laziness.

I love this Idea! I have a few maps that I want to be used by others, instead of just friends so everyone has more places to go!

Don't forget that alot of maps that were SUPPOSED to be in game that were made by staff-member did not make it in because they caused lag due to to many reasons, such as the models.


I like the thought but I just don't see anyone having the time looking threw other users maps to see if they "qualify" x.x

there's too many elements needed in a "public map" I'm fretting.

Alright, thanks for the reply, everyone.

And Sly, what if there is a vote? The members of FeralHeart shape the game, and I think it would be great to have them have a say in the public maps they have. I mean, maybe there should be rules about size and item usage.

For example: Rooms cannot exceed the size of 10,000, and you must only use the available meshes to avoid lag.

Thats true. (:

I have discussed it with Rak and she said that she'll set up a board for me so I can start a map competition. But I don't know if the winners will actually be put in-game in an update or if you'll have to download them. We would need Kovu's Okay for that.
