Idea for next-but-please-not-so-soon expansion

[ice_zero_cool]

I know that many of you players don't even want to think about this right now, but well, here I go anyways ( assuming that all three realms have the same story line ) :P

Today, as I was - again - finishing the quests of the storyline, I came up with this, since the storyline isn't really finished after the quests end:
The runestones are teleported away and the "Soul Monger" is about to get revived.

Well, to get to the point, my idea was this:

____________________________________________________________
Regnum Online
Lake Of The Ancients
The Return Of The Soul Monger

1. Story
2. Increased / Revamped map and new terrain
3. Inter-Realm Boss Monster

After the Soul Monger got sealed in the depth the Lake of the Ancients and slept there for many decades, unable to do anything, the seal finally got weaker and it was able to control some of the inhabitants of Ignis / Alsius / Syrtis. Doing this, it got its hands on the rune stones of the great warriors who once accomplished to get to the Lake of the Ancients and hence got the power of the elements. Using the runestones, it broke the seal that locked it away for so long.

Now that it's free once again, it is attacking the realms that sealed it away, destroying whole landscapes and leaving many places in ruins. Now the realm(s) have to seal it away once again.


This would practically include the "Lake Of The Ancients" that is often referred to in the storyline, as well as the "capital" or "homeland" of the realms and the world around those capitals.

After hearing about the great deed of the warrior(s) who defeated the *name of the monster you need to kill in the last quest* and the threat by the revived Soul Monger, the king calls the strongest warriors back to the homeland into the capitals.

The Homeland is, just like the three new (old) realms, split into pieces per realm. Each realm here gets its capital ( about 3 to 5 times the size of - respectively - Montsognir, Altaruk and Fisgael ) and - all realms together - the Lake of the Ancients (LotA). The area of the LotA is an area as big as the current war zone and is set up similar to it. There are castle-like monuments or places that you can capture ( in order to invade the capitals ) .

At the center of the LotA lives the revived Soul Monger. Its the strongest boss mob after eve, daen and thork and drops 3 drops alltogether, 1per realm ( if all three realms participated in killing ), means the persons with the highest damage ( or whatever you need to get the drop ) from each realm gets the drop.


Well, that's it. I didn't know if I should post this in general or suggestions, but since it's only an idea, I posted it in general. Now shoot me to death with your expansion-hate

Yeah I've been waiting for something actually referring to the story of RO for ages. There IS a story, it just needs much work.

And I love the homelands idea (dwarfish homeland has to be underground :P), just... Homelands of those 3 realms are not that close together, obviously. :P
