World Maps or no world maps?

[psychofreak]

I'm just looking for opinions. So which do you prefer?

[Grandy]

Worldmaps.

[Xecoa]

depends on the game honestly........

[psychofreak]

Oh and I would also prefer it if you post reasons why you prefer one or the other.

[Grandy]

 Worldmaps. Because.

If you want an epic feel, use a world map.

I use world maps, but I don't make it to where you can walk on them, just use a pointer to choose which place to kinda "warp" to.

I perfer the kind of world maps that are in SoM to the kind in FF and such.

I like world maps myself,becuse it feels realistic.
They are very convient if you make maps in real life(like your a board game RPG geek,like me).
But some pepole don't have time to make every city and dungeon a little graphic,so they use
the warp to a deistination system,but i like the feel of a world map myself.

It depends really.  I think that its more realistic to only use a world map as a reference.  But, if you are going for the Final Fantasy style game, World map would be useful.

I used to love world maps but now I'm not so sure... If you want epic airship travelling then world maps are unavoidable. If you want your game to have a more realistic feel then you might want to have big multi direction grassy dungeons between towns. That works better if the monsters are visible on screen, though.

Story-based: world map

Non-linear (I think that's the word for it) : No world map.

It all depends on what kind of game it is.

[Fisherson]

Did anyone notice this is in the RP section?

[Zerlina]

I was gonna say, but I thought I'd be nice...


...way to be a jerk, fisherson

...way to be a jerk, fisherson

I wouldn't say THAT ;P

Man, world maps, always...they're just all so awesome. Please, use world maps! I hate the point and click maps, they don't feel epic at all.
