Intorduction of DPSS

[Sandermann]

DPSS is Dynamic Population Spawn System.

This system will mean that creature populations change over time and in response to PC actions independant of DM action, with groups of creatures moving out from central areas if their populations increase beyond a certain limit.

Certain NPCs will reference the creatures when they begin to become a nuisance, but be warned, the system will not take into account PC level or make any attempt to calculate an appropriate challenge should your PC enter an area that is heavily infested. Information on where is currently dangerous will be available from various NPCs depending on location.

Oooooh....this sounds good

Wow -- this sounds like an awesome system. We were working on something like this on my last server. Over time the orcs (or goblins, or wolves, or undead etc.) start to take over a certain area until they become a nuisance and need to be driven out. Tying it to "warnings" with NPC's is brilliant Sands -- it is an instant reason to party up and RP and a warning against going solo all in one. Very dynamic and immersive. I cannot wait to experience this and hope it gets taken global. Nice addition. (packs a bag for a trip to BG).

[Sandermann]

omg a lasu. this means youre back or just dropping by?

DPSS is spawning creatures correctly and populating areas as expected, but it is currently not despawning corpses as it should and so has been temporariy disabled.
