Ok so...don't say "too much stuff is changing!" or "Work on something else!" because this is quite important for systems that I have been working on already. Anyways...
Right now the Map is a giant map that everything is one, only special areas like Hidden Sound, Waterfall, exist from the main map. I am thinking about reworking it so it would be many maps connected together...each map would be about the size of Hidden Leaf, I am trying to link them together in a way that you wouldn't be able to tell they were seperate...
X-X-X-X-X X-X-X-X-X X-X-X-X-X X-X-X-X-X X-X-X-X-X
would be the layout I think...each X is a map.

Just out of curiosity, what would be the purpose of this?

If I'm understanding this correctly, doing this would increase the size of the NFB world considerably, right? In that case this seems good to me and I welcome the change.

If it makes the map larger, awesome. Problem is; what will it be filled with? Under the current training system, small camps of rogue shinobi hidden in the forests/deserts/etc doesn't seem like a practical space consumer.

If the map gets bigger, yay harder raids. if people do that silly 1-person forward party crap, it'll give villages enough time to prep for raids XD

If I read this right, this isn't about making the map larger, just separating it into small sections

The most important thing to work on at the moment is the map. We need a bigger map in this game. We can fill it with more training areas, different types of training, and etc. The map we have now is to limited. Essentially, this would be the first step in helping increase and remap the size of each village.

Sefi, it would do both, spread things out and make things a little bit bigger. You would get from one section to the next by walking to the "edge" of the map and it would take you to the next one (The challenege will be in making you unaware that you are at the edge of the map, if I can do this correctly you won't be able to tell you are crossing maps/that the map is in sections.)

Like separating the maps in a way that there would be no transition effect when moving from one map to another?

Oh, well that sounds pretty easy, and awesome o.o

Will there be any updates to the scenery of each village if you give them their own maps?
Or are you just going to fill in the gaps with grass or something?

A suggestion I have that might helps...put invisible "walls" at the map edge, instead of using a void turf, and have the transition tiles be 1 square before the walls, and make the turf look like the corresponding edge of the map. You can't make the transition effects 100% non-existant, I'm pretty sure, but you can give the illusion of just jumping a couple squares.

I don't understand the value of having the multiple maps.
Does it makes things easier for you or the server?
I'm all for a map re-design. So that we can makes it so that we can add a bit more logic to the village placement and structure. Maybe so that some villages aren't so far away and maybe giving Waterfall it's own village and things like that. But I dont see how multiple maps would be needed for something like that.
Perhaps if there were things like different theme music for each area or effects such as the mist. Would the mist not effect other parts of the map? Could different jutsu be stronger depending on which z you're on?
So all in all what exactly is gained from this addition? I'm ignorant of the details.

I suggest redoing all the villages and moving them to the correct places based on Manga. Leaf and Sand villages are ok, but what about Rock? it seems to be huge on Manga, and it's pretty small on NTFB. Mist should be smaller.

Maybe the purpose of it would be stabilizing the server by having a bunch of people on different maps (perhaps lag would be reduced if a bunch of bodies were kept on a separate map instead of a huge number of them on a large map)
Also I could see this tying in with the new missions that require a person to enter specific areas or find specific NPCs.

Making a map this big...it may couse like less luck finding Jiraya alot less of meeting random people and fighting...and a lot less raids -_- If we had like a real Huge player base id understand this Increase in map size, but thats just my Opinion.. i like NTFB small like this more hidden rooms and basses and stuff would be cool.
