I like the idea, but may I expand on it a little?
Maybe if the libraries in Strongholds/Ruins also have some books/history in them? Like it could explain what the inhabitants were like before they were wiped out, and how they were killed in the first place?
That would be pretty cool, maybe give you a little bit of information on the creature that did it... maybe where it resides if it isn't still there :tongue.gif: The ones in the stronghold could maybe give detailed information and history on the boss monsters, how many they've killed and how long they've been around :biggrin.gif:
Maybe I've just been playing a little too much Dwarf Fortress Lately.. But I freakin love the randomly generated History it chucks out on the generation of a map.
Once Villages get going I was thinking maybe you can have them be Aware of their surroundings, Locations of Mineshafts, Dungeons, and Other little secrets to Gossip and spread rumors about to the player.
If a Town is big enough let it generate a Library full of books and maps with detailed information on the surroundings and histories of the town, maybe some notable people that lived there even if its useless is Interesting and sometimes In Dwarf Fortress' case hillarious, A guy dying to a duck.
On that note I know you're going to be adding quests... hopefully some notorious monsters or villains to raise your fame in the village would be great. Ones with lairs, or maybe just a territory. It would be awesome to attack a bandit camp, or raid a bigger monsters cave.
Honestly I'd be happy to receive Rampaging persistent megabeasts that come and attack my base... but I know the general public isn't into the whole "losing is fun!" idea.
Here's a work around. What we've been doing on our server is building a fire pit near our bases and jumping into it killing ourselves and the orbs before we get around two bars full.
Just wanted to give a shout out of thanks for Letting the public test 1.8. I personally have never minded having a real "Beta" release and a stable game on the side. A lot of us have been playing and surviving being quite content on your Crazyily fuggled SMP releases for a while now (Inability to die, Monsters also being Invulnerable, Arrows simply bouncing off creatures, Falling through minecarts and in turn the world, Bandit Storage minecarts stealing your goods just to name some of my favorites)
...and Eventually you made it stable and awesome.
I Like being in the know and seeing whats actually wrong myself, as well as testing out new creations you have in store for us. Now I understand that the big update you slapped in gave the stability a good kick in the junk... and await happily for the stable release while I **** around on this buggy one :smile.gif:
You can't fix the stupidity of your community to install this unstable version of the game expecting Windmill and Mermaid Gundams and of course they're going to cry up and down this section. But please I hope you find it in your hearts to do this again the next time you find your selves with a sort of playable bug filled "beta" version that us hardcore addicts can hastily play.
Thanks for finally letting us be testers... We've played through worse times you know. Invulnerable mobs, archery not working, minecarts stealing your goods, minecarts not working at all. BTW Don't cook beef, or atleast don't cook beef in the blacksmiths furnace

You guys are riding notches **** long and hard... This so called adventure update, sure its adding a couple of features.. but half of the stuff they talked about adding in isn't even making it, and some of the stuff is pretty much useless... Experience isn't going to do **** for us but be a pretty little bar that fills up. Food, a chest that opens, bigger biomes, one new mob, random pointless villages that take up your space, and sprinting... ADVENTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ?????
Adventuring for more than two seconds with this lame update that seems like its never coming out. Where are my new creatures.. where are my bosses... where are my toys... wheres my anything new and fun to do that will hold my attention worth this stupid wait that you're working on nothing...
surrender the game to us... you guys really blow :/ Modders can come up with **** you can't, and anything you can in 1/8th the time.
