They could be sites of old battlefields or unmarked mass graves from some genocide or another as well. I think there are many ways to justify the existence of the instanced hunting grounds, it's just a question if there is a desire amongst staff to make it happen.

I thought some kind of hidden necromancer lair would be neat.

This would be great for voln. However, I wouldn't change the stepping process. I would make this available to Masters of voln. There are so many possibilities you could do with the undead. If the hunting party dies, the undead have a chance to leave the area and make their way towards the nearest town entrance. Or if something goes awry during the undead seeking process, a currently living hunting area has the potential for undead versions of the same critter to spawn for the next several minutes. Imagine some undead kobolds and wind witches, fire rats ect.. popping up as a result of trying to locate the area.

Voln members could receive special messaging in game letting them know that undead have been found in the area. Example, A cold breeze begins to whirl though the area, the convective currents causing tree limbs to bend and sway. As the winds begin to die down, you hear the faintest cry of a wailing dirge, it's somber falsetto echoing in your ears. Anyway, this would be a killer addition to the game.

I don't have a strong opinion about this one way or another, but it does raise a lot of questions for me. Whether any of these points are enough to sway opinion I doubt.

Is the undead gap intentional? If it's intentional this unreasonably by-passes that design.

Is the ability to spawn warcamps meant to be unique to GoS? This would definitely weaken the power of GoS relative to Voln I believe.

Is there something more interesting to do with Voln besides mechanically ripping off a concept from another society? This proposal is unimaginative at a base level.

Does CoL become even more out-dated as the only society unable to spawn hunting grounds at will? What would be proposed to balance the field wrt to CoL?

How much will the relevance of easy-to-access-hunting continue to be relevant after all the Chronomage updates are put in place? This proposal seems poorly timed.

Having a character I really like as a master of Voln and presently living in River's Rest, I would enjoy such a system being implemented from that respect. However, I expect the above criticisms would largely need to be addressed and considered before the proposal can move from more than a pipe-dream to something realistic.

Good thread but not a new request/suggestion. I'd say it comes up every year or two since 2009ish or even earlier. Its usually tied to the undead gap in some way or exclusive hunting and expansion of areas. It died down some maybe since sanctum of scales (sos) will have mid-90 undead outside of it per teasers.

I think warcamps are intentionally left to gos and will remain so even though the cemetary ideas fit the structure of the camp idea and its cool.

>>What if we could expend that favor to summon an incredibly nasty undead enemy, an epic encounter.

Just follow Clunk around ... he thinks those are the sort of undead that hunt him.
