Maps

1) Will maps have to be drawn or will you start with some?

Shailejron answers:

As for maps you will need to purchase them or make them yourself (pen and paper). Some areas and planes should be considered un-mapped. Exploration will be encouraged.

2) You have made a plan of the land, but is it possible to have a plan of Tildruin?

Shailejron answers:

It is possible, but not a high priority at the moment. All our efforts are focused on completing the game.

3) Are there going to be more detailed maps before (or after) the game opens?

Shailejron answers:

Yes, but many parts of the world are not destined to be common knowledge. They will be the bait and prize of those that have the skill to assemble the right group and courage to venture into them.

4) Will there be expansions to the current map eventually?

Shailejron answers:

Yes, but they (the maps) will never be extremely detailed. In the same manner we will not provide extensive lists of all skills, items, herbs, monsters and specializations. We believe in exploration and discovery within the game. This promotes esoterism and prolongs the lifetime of the game. Experienced players, the ones that eventually found religions and organizations, shall become wise and legendary. In Tildruin we do not serve heroism on a platter, you prove yourself worthy of fame and glory.

5 Will there be NPC wars among different species, if so, will PCs of the warring species be encouraged to help and maybe be rewarded?
5a) Will there be huge quests, that would take 20+ players working together to complete?

Shailejron answers:

I'd say yes to both of these questions. It's important to understand that there will be players helping to expand the world. Pretty much any scenario, quest or layout is possible within the capacity of the editor. The world will start off fairly small, but will quickly expand when we deem the time right to recruit area builders.
