training area

When I go to kill monsters to level up sometimes there are other players around killing too and I don't like to share kills

so I was thinking it would be kinda kool to have like a training area where its the same map for everyone but you are the only one there like every client has their own version of it. Probably not possible with the eAthena server but you might be able to put it in the new one

. I hope I explained this good enough.

We already have the bat cave.It works fine except for the "campers".
Or bots.

I dont think we need "instances", there arent that many players yet.
But it sure is a good idea for a later patch when more are enjoying TMW.

And whats the point of playing a multiplayer online rpg all by yourself? when you don't like company while playing you should play a single player RPG.

Sometimes people/parties/guilds want a moment for theirselves.
Besides I think it's the best way to deal with certain public transports, boss rooms and solo quests.

We discussed this earlier.

Yeah that's why we need a uber-huge world, So people can easily find places not so much frequented.

Yes yes YES!
If you ask me what the answer is to every question about how a RPG should be then I'll say, more of everything.

I say no to "training areas" in the beginning of the game. They usually feel way too artificial.

I agree on that one.

We're going to have an exp system that doesn't make doing just the final hit an advantage. So that's no reason to have training areas.
