[CF-Devel] post V1.0

[Mark Wedel]

 A few of my thoughts on this:

 The maps should probably be set to reset very quickly - since lots of new
players will be coming through, youu want the maps to be available. 
Potentially, the maps could reset immediately, with warning messages to that
effect.

 My personal thought is that there should be a few maps - maybe enough to get to
level 5 or so.  There should also be a relatively easy way for the player to
leave the beginner area so they can go play some of the beginner maps located in
other cities (I don't necessary think that all the beginner maps should be in
the starting city).

 reduced cost for some items could be useful.  I'm not sure how easy we want to
make it - I would rather keep it rather small so a player can explore all of
it.  Maybe just have on multi purpose shop.

 Doing this also creates more awe when they do get to one of the real cities -
if the starting city is jsut as big and complete as later city, you won't get
that awe and thats neat factor.  So for the same reason, some higher priced
items, like cauldrons, have no reason being in the newbie area.

      Just a thought I have. Hopefully somebody can develop this idea? I'm busy
