The realms -a suggestion
The game will generally (this hzas been discussed) be set in something like Renaissance(from the technical advancement , but there'll be magic etc) and there'll be 2 factions. At the beginning they'll live in peace (until PvP is ready)
Realm A:
- technical - there's a guild , lead by a guy like Da Vinci, who builds all kinds of technical things like helicopters , tamed animals, mechanic knights , autmoated fortresses
- special mount A small kind of biplane like structure with a propeller with which you can fly
- prefers hand-to-hand combat . No magics but healers and technicians (with crossbows , catapults etc)
Realm B
- magical - there is much magic so you'll have powerful spells but there's also paladins and the like that can do melee while casting (like tanks)
- besides these no warriors (everyone will have spells)
- no boats , only teleportation or conjurebirds ( big birds opn which you'll be able to ride , bit like in WoW and EQ2
- technological advancement is hated and feared....
- special mount : Unicorn?
