Persistent World

from Elemental Forums

I came under the impresses several months ago that it would be possible to create a server with a persistent world.  I'm not exactly sure where that came from, I believe it was something mentioned in the description of the game nearly a year ago.  This is one of the things I was looking forward to, but several months ago i realised this seemed less likely, if not completely imposable.

Am I wrong to think this, is it possible in the future to somehow create a persistent world using the game?  I realize it would have to be on a player hosted server rather than a Stardock server.

I think the concept of "persistant dynasties" was tossed around a bit, not sure what came of it. Furthermore it seemed to be an aspect of the multiplayer part of the game, a part which (at the moment) is supposed to be rather underdeveloped.

Don't know what it was going to entail, but it sounded pretty interesting. (Not that i care much for multiplayer.)

If i remember correctly it was part of the custom servers which are to be release in a patch in the near future.

Not sure how it would work even if it made it in. The progression of the game is in reviving and rebuilding the world. Once you do that... then what?

Empire... battle between those 2 sides, (although, hypothetically) a third may be nice, maybe in an expansion pack, with the sea beings fighting for land...

Ya, that would be the basic idea for a persistent world.  I'm sure it could get more elaborate, but that would be the basic point, two sides fighting.  It would have to be on a huge map.  Not exactly sure how you'd deal with one side getting wiped out.  Maybe if there were a way to keep the wining characters and import or their children into another world and start building again, something like that.  It would be a new game but with a continuation.

I recall a thread discussing the possibility of a moded persistent world.. I do not recall any official statement that it could be done or how.. just speculation as to it might be possible (and I am not sure if this was just us users speculating on it or not)..
