Mappers Wanted

How many of you here know how to map? How many of you here would like to map a big Hogwarts and try to get things to life?

If you're interested, reply to this post and we'll try and find one of you to help do some mapping. Make sure you let us know how experienced you are too, if at all.

Also it would be nice if the map could be based on the video games or the actual movies, so people that know the movies/games instantly know where they're going and what they're doing.

^ Not required though. Be creative. Just be semi realistic. I don't want Dementors by the sorting hat. xP

Hey I know we talked briefly yesterday but I'm interested in doing some mapping for you

I don't want a harry potter or hogwarts maps.

We are planning to get rid of the harry potter title at one point so just imagine it's a world of magic with a lot of content that we will write and won't be limited.


Harry Potter is limited and focused about harry potter, if we ditch it, we can create a lot more.
Also the genre is dying, the generation that grew on HP is growing up, it'd be better to not to cling.


So yea just make a gigantic magical castle but obviously that's not the only map required.

If you do decide to scrap the Harry Potter theme would houses, lessons, spell names, quidditch, clans etc be scrapped?

Changed/renamed/scrapped depending on what.


Spells for example, I'd remove most because there will be a spell creation system in place.
There's no need for 342423 built in attack projectiles because people can make their own by mixing shit and exploring.


Wands for example can be kept but slightly changed, Olivander will just need a rename.
etc etc etc

I'd give it a bash.

Not only that, but we could be listed and featured on the BYOND site. To top it off we wouldn't be hindered by copyright restrictions.

I was most concerned about clans. That was the main appeal of playing these type of games I'm guessing they will be renamed from DE and Aurors?

We'd have two new Good and Evil clan names. Similar ideas too. xP.

I dunno.

Wouldn't you prefer guild system?

It can be dynamic created by players or a fixed amount.

What do you mean by "Guild system"?

We could essentially, but it would remove the Good Vs. Evil feel. Navigating away from it can be both good and bad depending on who you ask.

EDIT: Unless you had two built in opposing guilds that are fighting for control. Both with their own good/evil respective beliefs.

Well good and evil is opinion based, I still think DEs on TWC were good and Aurors were more evil.

When it comes down to it, I'd want people to fight over locations but that's going to be at a far later stage of development (territory wars).

One word. Epic.

Sounds good to me
